I saw yesterday that Trump had been given a clean bill of health by his doctors, and that his mental state and intelligence were apparently normal. It would seem that I was wrong, then, when I speculated that he might have learning difficulties. To be fair, I was far from alone in thinking that, and still think there is a good deal of evidence to suggest that Trump does not process information as well as the rest of us. Everything I have seen and read of his behaviour suggests he has some kind of learning difficulties. Indeed, I just read that, online, people are refusing to accept the doctors’ verdict, and are smelling some kind of cover-up: ”[T]the results of Donald Trump’s recent medical check-up have sparked an online conspiracy theory – the girther movement….But the girther movement, propelled mainly by critics of the president, posits that Mr Trump is shorter and heavier than the report suggests.”

I suppose it’s just a sign of the times in which we live, where people even refuse to believe a medical report; yet I agree that something about that report does not ring true. I still think that something is gravely amiss with the present occupant of the White House: Trump has no idea what he is doing or what is expected of him, and doesn’t even realise. He is a pawn being manipulated, but if that is true, who is controlling the pieces?
