Stroke?

I didn't like the discongugate gaze I think I saw - each eye looking in a slightly different direction. It could be an artifact of the video, but the wannabe neurologist in me raised his hand.
Another possibility is a petit-man seizure - unlikely in a man his age, however.

From what I read he didn’t walk away so much as get led away by GOP leadership.
Frankly I would support mandatory retirement from all politics at 70. That includes SCOTUS.

We can argue about
priceage, but I agree with the fundamental concept. Gonna take a Constitutional amendment, right? That's a steep hill.One of the surgeons I worked with had a husband who flew United Airlines. They had a mandatory retirement age (62?). IIRC, the union fought against, and won, that rule.
One of the reasons I left the university was because of the policy where one can't be chairman past age 65. The chair at the time was a great guy who understood the value of things beyond just publishing papers. He was 63. With my pathetically short list of pubs, I was concerned that the next guy wouldn't value my skills, so I jumped at an opportunity to leave.

Optics, as Barry would say.

My dad had an ischemic attack at about that age. I wouldn't have been happy with him shopping alone after that, much less running a country.

I assume that there is a doctor on-call in the Capitol.
I believe Congress has more than one doctor as members, not counting Doctor Jill.

U don’t need a doctor. What can a doctor do in the capitol except maybe give an aspirin. U need an ambulance to get to a hospital. Then there is a chance at revascularization with tPA. I find it hard to understand why 911 wasn’t called and him taken for a CT.
Btw u may recall the bibi recently had a blackout and was rushed to my hospital and ended up with a pacemaker because of heart block.
