Pick one: Donald Trump was rushed to the hospital to visit a sick child because he is such a caring person... Or Donald Trump is the only president in history to break their physical examinations into two parts Or Donald Trump and the White House staff is lying.

Only one of those makes sense.

Trump is famous for eschewing presidential protocol, for instance, winning the popular vote; hiring competent people; and not soliciting Americas sworn enemies to undermine American democracy. But previously, he had adhered to the tradition of announcing the presidential physical and placing it on his public schedule.

But on Saturday, something strange happened.

Even though a letter from a quack physician reportedly called him the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency, on Saturday, a presidential motorcade took Trump to Walter Reed National Military Hospital for an unannounced screening, according to NBC. Unlike his two previous exams, this surprise exam wasnt on his public schedule and no oneeven the staff at the hospitalseemed to know about it.

Furthermore, the medical visit came only nine months after Trumps last examination. Accompanied by the presidential physician and a weird yellow envelope attached to his curiously bulging coat, the colostomy bag of presidents insisted that he was visiting a sick child and undertaking an unprecedented two-part exam.

CNN reports:

His two previous physical exams in office were announced ahead of time by the White House and noted on his daily public schedule, but a source with knowledge of the matter told CNN Saturday that the Presidents unannounced trip to the medical center was not even on the Presidents internal schedule as of Saturday morning.

The Presidents motorcade drove to the medical center unannounced, with reporters under direction not to report his movement until they arrived Saturday at Walter Reed. Trump typically takes the Marine One helicopter to Walter Reed, but on Saturdays clear-skied day, the President opted for the motorcade.

Aside from intelligence briefings that usually includeand this is not a jokecolors and stories, Trumps calendar was cleared all day Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

While speculating on medical issues is an ill-advised practice, The Root has spoken with several medical professionals who offered a number of diagnoses, including:

While the impromptu medical visit reportedly took two hours, sources say that 45 minutes was spent in the hospital waiting room as the president read knock-knock jokes and staged a valiant but unsuccessful attempt at connecting the dots in the latest issue of Highlights magazine.
