"Put the president on experimental drugs" is completely bonkers. Never would have been contemplated in other administrations in my lifetime. Obviously, the simplest explanation is that the patient is someone else.

But it's so much fun to speculate: Maybe someone in the king's court is hoping to fill him up with so many drugs that he collapses.

I mean.... There was jfk. He was on a lot of strange stuff by Dr Morell (?) , who he called "Dr Feel good"

That said, Trump is nothing like jfk tho. Jfk was a deeply serious guy all things considered and despite his vices. Trump is nothing but an impulsive child.

The obvious is not necessarily a good yardstick for the Trump administration. After all he had that miraculous Covid treatment that was promised to all but evaporated.
