White House Responds to Reports of Multiple Visits from Parkinson's Expert

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre responds to media reports that a Parkinson's expert has visited the White House on several occasions. She says she will not confirm it: "We cannot share names...It doesn't matter how hard you push me. It doesn't matter how angry you get with me. I'm not going to confirm a name...What I can say share with you is that the president has seen a neurologist for his physical three times." Full video here: www.c-span.org/video/?536836-...

Could you state very clearly yes or no was that expert here to participate in anything surrounding the care of the President of the United States." Not asking for names. Not asking for any sensitive data or privacy. It's asking whether the leader of the USA has been seeing a Parkinson's expert. She then completely dodged it by shaming up fake outrage about 'revealing names.' Whenever anyone tries to press on that, she talks over them and raises the outrage to dodge. It's insulting.

Trump duplicates himself to Putin and others. He loves countries who’ve stayed at his hotels or spent money at Maralago or his golf courses. Emoluments clause of the US constitution anyone? Trump is a traitor and a failed coup leader. Why isn’t the news outlets asking Trump why isn’t he dropping out. He is the failed president and failed coup leader and insurrectionists adjudicated digital rapist and failed businessman who ran a fake college which is fraud and was commuting fraud in his businesses. Who knows for how many year’s? Trump broke the law how many times during his 4 years in violating the emolument’s clause of the US constitution? Trump is a national disaster and a disgrace and a felon. Trump should have to register as an agent for other countries. Trumpster the dumpster is a national disgrace. Let’s all be calling him what he is. His criminal followers who attacked the US capital aren’t hero’s and shouldn’t be released. They are criminals and so is Trump not hostages traitorous scum insurrectionists and seditionists. My question is what is wrong with all of you and the news organizations. Trump is a traitor and failed coup leader. Trump is just as bad if not more worse and is a national disgrace and a traitor failed coup leader and digital rapist and failed businessman and fraudster and felon. You all are in denial on the choices being presented . Biden is one of Americas greatest presidents. Trump is by far and away one of the nations worst presidents. I think it’s bizarre that big news and pundits have all the way along been hammering and attacking President Biden. They even get left leaning pundits to attack him? Why aren’t they then asking the very same questions of Trump?Traitor Trump is a national disgrace. He shouldn’t even be allowed to run seeing as he is a failed coup leader a felon and an adjudicated rapist a fraudster committing businessman and a serial adulterer and close friend of Jeffery Epstein. Trump continually fantasizes about having sex with his daughter. Trump is on tape more than once saying he and his daughter have in common is sex. Almost everything that Trump said in that debate was a lie and zero veracity. Why aren’t they asking him if he plans on dropping out after being a convicted felon and adjudicated rapist? Imagine a world where you can’t buy food or water or travel with the mark of the beast on your forehead. You know imagine if Trump were in charge and decided he would be king and only the people with red hats and it said maga on it and you could buy food if you had that hat on. What were the checks Trump had written to Stormy Danial’s and the playboy bunny for exactly. One being his longer term outside the marshes love interest and the other a short fling against his wife and long term mistress. Trump is a serial adulterer and rapist. Over twenty other women came forward saying he had raped them as well. Trump being best friends with Jeffery Epstein also running young miss beauty contests gave him access to young women. Trump is on video saying what he and his daughter had in common was sex. Remember when Trump was taking money from a child’s cancer charity? Good times huh? Remember when Trump was talking bad about our military and a national hero who had served honorably Senator John Mac Caine. The bone spur one said he only likes soldiers who weren’t caught and were prisoners of war. Trump said our soldiers who died were suckers. Remember when Trump thought it would be okay for them to inject bleach inside people’s bodies or ultraviolet lights inside of people to kill the virus. Miss handled the entire pandemic response. Talk about lacking presidential brain power. Remember when Trump said he trusted Putin over our nations own CIA or national security or FBI? Remember when Trump pulled out of Syria and gave it to Putin and to Turkey? He screwed over our Allie’s the Kurds. Remember when Trump pulled out of our treaty with Iran to stop them from gaining nuclear weapons. The agreement was agreed to with six of our Allie’s as well and had inspectors. We no longer have any of that. Did that make you all feel safer? If so why? Now Iran can build as much or as many nuclear weapon’s as they wish. By doing this it helped whom. Who is set up to be attacked with nuclear weapons now? What nation is close by that Iran dislikes? Trump has no clue how tariffs work. Trump cost us twice just for the farmers for example. The US farmers couldn’t sell their crops to China. That was the first cost plus what it cost us to buy things raised up for everything. Next we were charged to bail out all of the farmers. He actually cost us three times in many examples. He caused inflation to be even more worse. Trump spoke badly about our military and fallen hero’s and called them suckers. Trump made fun of a disabled reporter like any bully in the play ground might be doing not like a president. No president would ever do such a thing. How about that attempted coup and never admitting losing that election. Trump was the worst president we’ve ever had. Look how much he and his family walked away with while he was in office. Is there such a thing as the emoluments clause the US constitution? How many times did he break it? Or his daughter or his son in law or his other children? Trump added 8 trillion dollars to the deficit in only 4 years. The American people were able to gain what for all that money? Remember how Trump threw out paper towels when PuertoRico was hit by the hurricane. Trump thought that was hilarious. It is the kind of low life leader he is. Nice when we have a real leader who isn’t always all about transactional deals to help others like Trump did always. Plus Trump is a racist I believe. Trump never could learn how to act or present himself as presidential. Biden the true leader takes charge and does what needs to be done. Biden has the power right now to fix the courts and to fix many things in our nation as there are no longer any hindrances. Trump already plans to eliminate most of us if he gets in. If Biden doesn’t use the power he damn straight had better because Trump and his minions sure will. You all need to discuss his 2025 plans they plan to bring in all Trump chosen government workers instead of all the ones we have in place now. Biden needs to do what must now be done, to save democracy. Biden has absolute immunity now as well. The Jan 6 insurrectionists shouldn’t be allowed to get away with their criminal activity. Trump included. Why can’t then all those judges be removed by Biden or all the illegal judges imprisoned as this is what Trump and his orange turd followers plan on doing. Replace all the judges. He has unlimited powers now use them. Quite playing around. Trump is a traitor and these supreme judges are allowing them and him to get away with it. The rule of law needs to be preserved. Biden needs to remove several judges or add several judges and bring about clear change. It was Republicans who blocked immigration reform and control. I hope Biden talks about. It was Trump who told the house to stop anything being passed. Trump can’t be allowed to get away with his crimes.
