'Slanderous:' White House lashes out at doctor who says they believe Trump 'had a stroke'

Responding to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt’s abuse of a doctor who said he thinks President Donald Trump suffered a stroke, the former Clinton aide Sidney Blumenthal, whose podcast surfaced the claims, demanded release of the president’s full medical records.

“The simple way to clear all this up is to release all of Trump’s medical records including his MRI,” Blumenthal told Raw Story.

Amid widespread speculation about Trump’s health, the 79-year-old president recently told reporters he had an MRI, then said it was actually a CT scan.

Those remarks sprang back into the public square this week, after Professor Bruce Davidson, of Washington State University Elson S. Floyd College of Medicine, spoke to Blumenthal and the Princeton historian Sean Wilentz, co-hosts of the Court of History podcast.

Davidson said: “My impression is President Trump has had a stroke, and I think there's several lines of evidence supporting that. I think his stroke was on the left side of the brain, which controls the right side of the body."

Davidson believes Trump suffered a stroke “six months ago or more, earlier in 2025.”

1. Up next: Lindsey Hooligan charges doctor with leaking state secrets!

2. Good luck getting that past a grand jury.

They're batting zero to date.

[RockRaven]

3. Oh yeah? Then propose an alternative explanation which covers both the facial droop

and the leg dragging which are evident in public videos. You know, to prove the slanderer wrong.

If it wasn't a history of stroke(s) as you claim then surely you have knowledge of what it really is. So go ahead and say. We'll wait...

4. It doesn't even take a medical degree to come up with this diagnosis

And I'm not going to try it, but I bet AI would give it to you with just the basic info.

5. He has no idea what slander is legally.

My sole "law" course was journalism law.

[ProfessorGAC]

6. I Only Took Business Law...

...& Employment Law, but I know proving malice, especially by a medical professional, commenting on a public figure is extremely difficult & unlikely.
And, if the do pursue a slander case, discovery would be a nightmare for them

[greatauntoftriplets]

7. That's for sure, Professor.

Proving malice is crucial to a verdict.

[NotHardly]

8. What is slanderous is the GD administration!

[Deuxcents]

9. Maybe the good doctor is correct but we've never seen any medical records..not even his when he got shot in the ear

No medical records, no financial tax returns, either. All we’re privy to is his word about these matters

10. My impression is President Trump is syphilitic

and I don't care if there are any lines of evidence supporting this impression. I deeply believe it, have seen it on the Internet, and trust it is true.

11. He clearly hasnt had A stroke

Four or five mini-srokes . . .
