DeSantis surrogates spread Trump heart health scare

Surrogates for Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) this morning started to revive a scare dating back to Trump’s Presidential term. They are giving every impression that President Donald J. Trump might have a heart attack at any time.

From the DeSantis campaign, or from unauthorized voices?

This dubious activity on Platform X first surfaced on the Bill Mitchell account at 9:0 a.m. EDT. Mitchell quoted a post from yesterday evening suggesting a reason, other than his commanding lead, why Trump will not debate the field this Wednesday.

Immediately another accountholder accused this account of spreading false rumors.

That aside, “Max Twain” cannot adequately explain why Trump would sit down for an interview with Tucker Carlson instead. If he really were unwell, would he not stay home?

Nevertheless, Bill Mitchell picked up on the post,

and followed up on it:

Dom Lucre noticed Bill Mitchell’s activity and offered a scathing commentary.

Obviously Bill Mitchell is continuing to fuel the Trump heart scare, given the timestamps on his and Lucre’s latest posts.

Bill Mitchell is CEO of Your Voice Studios and in his profile describes his feed as “DeSantis 2024 Central!”

The original source for the Trump heart scare can only be this 2018 piece in The New York Times. The White House had recently released Trump’s health records. They showed a Low-Density Liproprotein Cholesterol level 43% above the reference limit, though he was taking the popular “statin” Crestor®. Three “outside” cardiologists harped on that LDL result – and ignored the other, positive findings by the Presidential Physician, R-Adm. Ronny L. Jackson, M.D., USN.

A year later, a popular dietetics newsletter picked up on one other finding – hypertension. They suggested the President should change his diet and lifestyle.

Another possible motive

Laura Loomer has not commented thus far on Bill Mitchell’s latest Trump heart scare activity. But she did repost a sardonic observation by another user of Mitchell’s poor performance in a debate with Loomer on Tim Pool’s “Timcast” show. (That post does not bear repeating here.)

Other than that, she has concentrated on Trump’s upcoming arraignment in Atlanta this Friday (August 25).

Ron DeSantis himself has made no comment. Neither has any other accountholder except Bill Mitchell, “Max Twain,” and others replying to them. Many demand evidence, though one person shared a 2018 piece from The Independent that largely quoted the New York Times story.
