An alzheimer's treatment.
I can't the clip handily, but it was on the Majority Report and they started a calendar after a nurse called in about a specific treatment, which requires regular and repeated MRI's to verify effectiveness, thats on just about a 28 day schedule, specifically for amyloid plaques. It needs to be done intravenously and apparently, they go for the hand or the forearm. The MRI's are to keep track of and look for monitoring progress of the disease, treatments. Sam started what he calls the "Trump period calendar" to keep track of it.
So Trumps had like 3-4 MRI's in the past 4 months? Each time its for his "annual" physical and its the "best they've ever seen", as well as being given a battery of extremely basic cognitive tests. Each time Trump starts to slag/ slide, within about 10 days we get news of walter reed visit, an MRI, and suddenly Trump is protecting their right hand from visibility.
I mean none of it is concrete and all very circumstantial, but look for the ~28 day cycle of Trump having pep, being more aggressive, then sliding there being reports of decline, then back to pep in his step the next week.

This is actually really cool. Thank you for answering
Some perts from the link:
On Jan. 26, 2025, the FDA approved once every four weeks maintenance dosing of lecanemab for early Alzheimer's disease. On August 29, the FDA approved weekly subcutaneous maintenance dosing of lecaneamb for early Alzheimer's disease. The hope is that at-home administration of the treatment will be less burdensome...
The treatment will allow people to have more time to participate in daily life and live independently.
Your health care provider will also do a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan before starting treatment with lecanemab
approved just after Trump took office. definitely just correlation but it fits nicely for a conspiracy theory.
Ironically, the nonsense that Taco and Bobby Brainworm are doing to our scientific funding and educational institutes may impede breakthroughs for things like Alzheimer's.
I guess we'll purge everything of all things "woke", but people will die of things that might have been prevented/cured sooner. I suppose some other country may have that breakthrough(s) on the same timeline, with or without us, but Taco and crew certainly are not helping.
Yeah its great that at least there is something.
Slowly having your memories taken away from you sounds like a particularly heinous torment.
Can't think of very many more deserving people.
Well I have several scars from a watching never ending story too many times.
He also specifically mentioned the MRI wasn't of his brain so it was definitely for his brain.
I've heard of 2 MRIs, when were the 3-4th?
I thought we were in the 3-4 range but tbf, I don't actually keep close enough tabs to say that with 100% confidence. I know we're at a minimum in the 2+ range; I thought there were at least 3.
