Trump's Impromptu Medical Exam 'Not Protocol'

President Donald Trump's visit to Walter Reed on Saturday did not follow the protocol of a routine presidential medical exam.

CNN reports Walter Reed medical staff didn't receive a staff-wide notice about a presidential visit.

Typically, the Bethesda, Maryland, facility would be notified about a "VIP" visit ahead of a presidential visit.

Normally, he prefers to go to Walter Reed by aircraft, but sources say this time the president opted to go by motorcade.

Donald Trump and his doctor asserted a new claim on Tuesday, reports CNN. They say his ambiguous trip to Walter Reed last year was not in response to a mini-stroke. They say Trump "has not experienced nor been evaluated for" any strokes or mini-strokes. Dr. Sean Conley also denied any cardiovascular emergencies in his statement. He claims Trump remains healthy and that he has no concerns about his abilities to lead. Conley then added that his statement came at the request of Trump himself.
