    The more I think about it, the more concerned I am about 25th Amendment issues & Trump's mental status. We know he was "lethargic" & we know he's been hypoxic (low oxygen). We now know he's on a medication (dexamethasone) that causes confusion or altered thinking at times (1/3)

        All physicians have seen many confused pts who don't know it – they lose insight. Moreover, we have T's narcissism, tendency to spin, & mistrust of others. Added together: the least qualified person in the world to determine if he's capable of carrying out his duties is him (2/3)

        We must be reassured that he'll have an independent (and not by Dr. Conley; sorry, but he's done nothing to earn our trust in the past two days) of fitness for duty, carried out at least daily for next several days. Congress/Cabinet should insist on it... and do so stat. (3/3)

        Agree with all of this Mike should have the reigns for at leads the next 11 days.

        My question is why does Pence even have a choice NOT to take the reins. He is first in line - part of the duties of the VP. I can’t believe that Pence and Pelosi are not being briefed truthfully about Trump’s condition.

        Frankly, what worries me is that they might pretend DJT is fine not to trigger the 25th, and actual power is now in the hands of Jared. Literally a "Weekend at Bernie's" kind of situation. Surely Pence doesn't appear to have any influence, more like a puppet.

        Free lead: Jared is now in control of the White House, including overriding personnel demanding that the Pence not travel due to COG issues. The seat-fillers rebellion is ON.
