MY SPECULATION....It probably didn’t work....and she is being seen by an international specialist out of country...

The spousal abuse speculation is fake news...

[lapfog_1]

1. if that was true the Trump's, in a bid for sympathy, would have broadcast this to the world. n/t

[Blue_true]

20. I agree. nt

[elleng]

2. This is not speculation?

[MineralMan]

16. I can find nothing similar to this anywhere.

I think it's made up. No link. No success with a google search.

[elleng]

22. Thought so.

[MineralMan]

24. Yup. It's creative speculation.

Since the OP has not answered my question, I am assuming that he/she just made it up to continue to conspiracy theory discussion.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

3. We don't have world class kidney specialists in our country?

I think she just wants to get as far away from her pussy-grabbing porn star fucking pathetic excuse for a husband as she can. Plus, it's a nice European trip on the taxpayer's dime.

[regnaD kciN]

29. Indeed...

Even if she needed to see a foreign specialist, wouldn't they have brought that doctor over here instead? The optics of a FLOTUS having to go overseas for treatment because she couldn't get good enough care here would be really bad.

6. Possibility....

[hlthe2b]

8. those were all administered by nonpractitioners using Gawd knows what...

If she has had fillers (and I'd bet she has) she would have had the best trained dermatologist/cosmetic surgeon using FDA approved products--none which have been linked to renal failure, as far as I can find on at least a cursory search of the medical literature on pubmed.

[NurseJackie]

10. Nothing would surprise me.

Has she always had the ability to procure and afford the "best of everything"?

I think she'll eventually end up looking like Jocelyn Wildenstein.

17. Her eyes already do.

[yonder]

37. gosh, I clicked the link. that's so sad.

Self-inflicted disfigurement and for what?

[malaise]

18. Says who - look at his former loony doctor and tell me they don't do things on the cheap

Seems quite possible

[hlthe2b]

25. Possible, but I do think she is smarter than to have her most "valuable assets" at risk

from a street corner "Joe"...

[malaise]

26. Good point

but I eliminate nothing with these low life scumbags.

[guillaumeb]

38. Are you implying that her looks have been "augmented" in some way?

Whoever would have suspected?

9. Were not able to identify what was injected (unlicensed "practitioners")

[itsrobert]

7. They are treating the symptoms and not the cause of her HBP

Shouldn't they get rid of the cause? hint: Donald J. Trump.

[Iliyah]

11. I looked up HBP and couldn't find anything????

[elleng]

12. This:

13. High blood pressure....

[MineralMan]

14. What is your source for this story? I can't find any news on it.

Please post a link. If this is something you made up, you should self-delete. It's not satire. It's not funny. I searched for any news similar to what you wrote, and could not find any.

[PearliePoo2]

21. I agree. If this is made up then the OP should self-delete.

One of the many things I like about DU is that the information I read is reliable and not fabricated bullshit.

DU is often a reliable source for me that I can pass on or forward without embarrassing myself or appearing ignorant. The moderators here work hard to achieve the quality of this site and I value that.

We all speculate, but if that's what we're doing then we should own up to it and not state something as fact without a reliable source to link to.

[jberryhill]

36. I read it on DU

Donnie offered to donate his kidney for her, but her body rejects all his organs.

[Nay]

42. LOL!!!

[samnsara]

15. i havent heard/read about any spousal abuse...not PHYSICAL anyway....

..im sure theres a lot of emotional abuse. That can cause a hell of a lot of health issues including hbp.

[Blue_true]

19. So, she has access to the best medical care in the world.

And she seeks treatment out of country? How bizarre a claim is that. My guess is that she is sick of Trump and may have given him an ultimatum.

[canetoad]

23. I don't think she had any kidney procedure

She cracked it with Cheeto and refused to be wife or Flotus any more. He made up the kidney story for sympathy, thinking she'll come round in a couple of days which she hasn't. JMHO.

[SayItLoud]

27. Unless he punched her in her kidney...in darkness and lies

by the Oral Office people speculate. Speculation is not fake news it's speculation and discussion. I have seen no reports from credible journalists reporting spousal abuse. If speculation is fake news I would venture to say DU would lose a lot of followers and contributors.

[procon]

28. Nah, Trump is the perfect human being, so he has a perfectly healthy wife.

Think of a Stepford wife who is always perfectly groomed and attired, always picture perfect, that's what Trump wants. He can never admit that she might have any health problems because then the public would expect him to act like any normal man who loves his wife and would be so concerned about her health that he would be at her side rather than golfing and posing for superfluous photo ops.

Since Trump is incapable of compassion and his acting skills are about as believable as his efforts to govern, the woman will be dead and buried before Trump tweets she was ill... so sad.

[monmouth4]

30. It wouldn't surprise me if she were at Betty Ford or some other rehab for pills, an OD, depression,

or whatever and I wouldn't blame her a bit. We can all see how miserably unhappy she is. Who knows? Maybe she is at her Mother's home in Maryland..

[RandySF]

31. Trump is too lazy to beat anyone.

I think she may have had a breakdown.

[Thomas Hurt]

32. Human beings like to be nosy and rumor monger....

when you throw in a pathological liar who has lots of dirty secrets...it just makes it that much more tempting.

[Corvo Bianco]

33. The first lady of the United States leaves country to get decent healthcare

Yep, that adds up. Sadly no sarcasm.

[Lint Head]

34. I heard from Alex Jone's evil-er twin that she was pregnant with

Stephen Miller's baby. And that she didn't show because Stephen Miller is such a tiny little asshole weasel.

[jberryhill]

35. In a heroic act, Donnie offered to donate his

But her body has been rejecting his organs for years.

[spanone]

39. speculation has a high possible factor of fake news too

[jberryhill]

40. Sometimes I think it is just meant more in fun than all seriousness

...but once in a while, a monster gets out of the lab and runs around loose.

Maybe it was something involving lady parts, and it would be better for everyone else just not to know.

As if it matters one way or the other, really. She’s entitled to her privacy n her terms. She didn’t sign up for this, but, hey, she married him.

[EffieBlack]

41. Or maybe she went on vacation to a foreign country, noticed her drink tasted funny and the next

thing she knew, she was waking up covered in ice in her hotel bathtub with a fresh incision on her abdomen and nearby was a note with instructions to go to a hospital immediately because one of her kidneys had been removed and sold on the black market ...

[jberryhill]

43. That's absurd!

Kidneys aren’t removed from the front.

They must have got part of her liver!
