an actual fart on national television. I think it was just a weird coincidence that sounds like it. Alright there are questions about Trump's health because apparently he went to some medical facility which was unplanned and apparently his schedule has been light recently. And so I said to myself well if there's something wrong with President Trump and first of all if it's something minor let's s…

eeting, suggestion of lack of appearance, suggests it. I have no reason to think it's a serious problem and certainly we didn't see any signs of it in his public appearances in my opinion but it's a question. It's a fair question and I hopefully get an answer to it and I hope he's fine of course but it's more likely something minor than something major. We would have seen signs of it or we would have heard something.

Alright here in messages from the other movie. Here are some things on the CNN website. I love reading their commentary especially the opinion pieces because they're just so different than what you see on the right. It just feels like you've entered a new world. It's almost like going to another country or something.

So here are the sort of things. It doesn't even matter who, they're all of their opinion people are the same person at least in how they sound. And they were talking about the president's visit to the doctor I guess and this opinion person says any human being would suffer seriously under such stress and becomes subject to all kinds of symptoms: panic attacks, stomach woes, headaches, anxiety. Does that sound like Trump? You know I told you when I met with him in person in the Oval Office last year one of my takeaways was he was the most relaxed person I've ever seen in any job. He didn't look like he had a problem in the world. I've never seen anybody less stressed than Trump in the Oval Office. He just seemed like he was taking everything in stride and he said before he likes the fight. So while I don't disagree that he probably yells and stuff behind closed doors I think he kind of likes the job. I just don't think he's worrying himself to death about any of this.

But then the CNN opinion piece goes on and said last week was one of the worst of his presidency. And they're talking about the impeachment stuff. And I thought to myself real

ly? I thought last week nothing happened. The worst of his presidency? He couldn't possibly be worried that this impeachment thing is ever gonna reach any kind of completion and actually remove him from office. He couldn't possibly be worried about that could he? I suppose if it was you you'd be worried about it right? If you were the president it's hard to be objective if you're in the job. But w…
