唐纳德·特朗普的新闻秘书暗示，任何质疑她传达的关于总统周六访问医院的信息的人都是“完全不负责任和危险的”
特朗普周六在沃尔特·里德国家医疗中心呆了两个多小时，新闻秘书斯蒂芬妮·格里森称这是例行体检，是他年度体检的一部分。
尽管特朗普的日记中没有安排任何医疗预约，而且距离特朗普2月份最后一次年度体检还不到一年，但她还是发表了声明。
格里沙姆在一份声明中说:“预计2020年会非常繁忙，总统将利用华盛顿特区的一个自由周末，开始在沃尔特里德医院进行部分例行年度体检。”。
白宫新闻秘书斯蒂芬妮·格里森(左)在登上海军陆战队一号并于2019年11月8日在DC华盛顿离开白宫之前，聆听美国总统唐纳德·特朗普对记者的讲话。
该声明与希尔的观点专栏作家安德鲁·弗农的报告相矛盾，他在白宫的消息来源告诉他特朗普因“胸部不适”被送往医院
下午2点后不久，可以看到73岁的特朗普离开白宫前往沃尔特·里德。他进入一辆黑色越野车，一辆特勤局车队护送他到大约30分钟车程外的地方。
《独立报》记者安德鲁·范伯格在推特上写道:“车队前往沃尔特·里德的活动被取消了，这表明今天的行程没有提前计划。”。
全副武装的反袭击小组也被拍到在医院外建立基地，这让人们进一步认为这次访问没有安排。
格里森在福克斯新闻采访主持人珍宁·皮罗时说，除了她所说的例行检查之外，一切都不过是谣言。
“哦，谣言总是满天飞，”她说。“他[特朗普]尽可能健康。我对此发表了声明。他比白宫里的任何人都精力充沛。那个人从早上6点一直工作到深夜。他做得很好。”
后来，格里沙姆转发了一段她在福克斯新闻上露面的片段，引用她的话说这次访问是例行公事。
她在推特上写道:“没错！谢谢你帮我得到正确的信息。除了我提供的广泛而诚实的信息之外，进一步的猜测对这个国家来说是完全不负责任和危险的。”
特朗普还在推特上谈到了他对沃尔特·里德的访问。
特朗普说:“在令人惊叹的沃尔特·里德医疗中心，我拜访了一个接受大手术的年轻人的大家庭。”。“他们确实是世界上最好的医生之一。也开始了我年度体检的第一阶段。一切都很好(太好了！)。将于明年完成。”
TRUMP'S PRESS SECRETARY SAYS QUESTIONING HER 'EXTENSIVE AND HONEST INFO' ON PRESIDENT'S HEALTH IS 'WHOLLY IRRESPONSIBLE AND DANGEROUS'
Donald Trump's press secretary has suggested that anyone questioning information she relayed about the president's Saturday visit to hospital is "wholly irresponsible and dangerous."
Trump spent more than two hours at Walter Reed National Medical Center on Saturday for what press Secretary Stephanie Grisham said were routine medical tests as part of his annual checkup.
Her statement came in spite of the fact that no medical appointments were scheduled in Trump's diary and that it had been less than a year since Trump's last annual checkup in February.
"Anticipating a very busy 2020, the President is taking advantage of a free weekend here in Washington, D.C., to begin portions of his routine annual physical exam at Walter Reed," Grisham had said in a statement.
White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham (L) listens to U.S. President Donald Trump talk to reporters before he boards Marine One and departing the White House November 08, 2019 in Washington, DC.
The statement was contradicted by a report from Andrew Vernon, an opinion columnist at The Hill, with his sources in the White House telling him that Trump was sent to hospital with "chest discomfort."
Trump, 73, could be seen leaving the White House to go to Walter Reed shortly after 2 p.m. He entered a black SUV and a Secret Service motorcade escorted him to the location roughly thirty minutes drive away.
"The fact that the movement to Walter Reed by motorcade was off the record is a sign that today's trip was not planned in advance," Andrew Feinberg, a reporter at The Independent, wrote on Twitter.
Heavily armed counter-assault teams were also pictured setting up base outside the hospital, giving rise to further thought that the visit was not scheduled.
Addressing Trump's visit on Fox News with host Jeanine Pirro, Grisham said that anything outside her statement saying that the visit was a routine checkup was nothing more than rumors.
"Oh the rumors are always flying," she said. "He [Trump] is as healthy as can be. I put a statement out about that. He's got more energy than anybody in the White House. That man works from 6 a.m. until, you know, very, very late at night. He's doing just fine."
Later, Grisham retweeted a clip of her appearance on Fox News that quoted her as saying the visit was routine.
Tweeting alongside the words, she said: "EXACTLY! Thank you for helping me get the correct information out. Further speculation beyond the extensive and honest info I put out is wholly irresponsible and dangerous for the country."
Trump also tweeted about his visit to Walter Reed.
"Visited a great family of a young man under major surgery at the amazing Walter Reed Medical Center," Trump said. "Those are truly some of the best doctors anywhere in the world. Also began phase one of my yearly physical. Everything very good (great!). Will complete next year."
