We see many patients who've had previous strokes. For President Trump, there was video of him

shuffling. Then I saw him cradling his right hand in his left. He garbled words, and that suggested

to me, along with a 325 milligram of aspirin, for which you only take for one thing.

He's had a prior stroke.

He's suffering two kinds of complications from stroke.

This is the Daily Beast podcast.

And lots of us who have been watching Donald Trump over the years

realize that there are some changes in his physical appearance, in his apparent physical abilities, his speech.

And of course, all of this is very easy to chronicle because he's been in public life for at least 40 years at this point.

So one doctor, a pulmonologist and a board-certified internist, says it's very clear from

looking at him, even though Donald Trump is not his patient, that the president has had a stroke.

It happened last year. The fact he's been talking about taking aspirin and the amount of aspirin he's taking,

325 mix, is indicative indeed that he's had a stroke and that he's largely recovered. But

there are symptoms of having a stroke that this doctor has identified and we got into a fascinating interview about what those

symptoms are, how they impact decision making, how they impact reactions to certain situations

and overreactions to others. And, well, it's a really interesting conversation, stay with us,

because he also goes through how often presidents in their role are actually not well supported by the medical teams they have around him.

You would think that they would automatically get the best healthcare in the country.

But that's not, in fact, what happens.

So let's get into it with Dr. Bruce Davidson.

Very excited to be joined by Dr. Bruce Davidson.
