This morning, the President will travel to Walter Reed Medical Center for a routine physical.

“Routine.”

Prompting some observers to ask:

Charlie Spiering @charliespiering

If it’s routine, why wasn’t it on the schedule?

Jen Psaki @PressSec

This morning, the President will travel to Walter Reed Medical Center for a routine physical.

Yeah, “routine” means it’s something we expected today. Did you expect this today?

We were told about it at 6 in the morning. And Biden is the oldest sitting president in the history of the United States. The day he was sworn in, he was older than Ronald Reagan on his last day in office.

It could be nothing. I sincerely hope it’s nothing. I didn’t vote for him, I don’t like him, and I don’t think he’s a good president, but he’s a human being and I don’t wish him any ill. He’s not a good person, but he’s still a person.

Just don’t piss in my ear and tell me it’s routine.
