And then, yeah, I mean, again, now entering the purview of speculation, I don't have this medical records here.
I haven't examined him.
It's all the usual qualifications.
But all to say, there's a reason why somebody like him might be getting semi-regular MRIs, one of which is to look for evidence of cognitive dysfunction.
Is there something happening in the brain?
Is the vasculature in the brain not giving enough blood to the brain?
Who knows?
Did he have stroke burden?
Who knows?
I mean, I've seen the same videos you've seen, Ben, of just functional status looking at times pretty unstable.
And so would it make sense?
Again, we talked about primary screening tools and MRIs not an appropriate thing to do.
Even if you're the leader of the free world, you need to have a reason.
Could I see his doctor say, hey, we're worried about his neurologic status or they are seeing something that they're not coming clear on with the public.
than prompting MRIs at every so often cadence.
Yeah, that would make sense.
That would actually be entirely appropriate to do.
And that's a secondary diagnostic, secondary screening tool.
There's early detection of something that would make sense that he is high risk for something or they already know he has a condition, maybe a neurologic issue, and they're monitoring it.
that would make complete sense.
