"Put the president on experimental drugs" is completely bonkers. Never would have been contemplated in other administrations in my lifetime. Obviously, the simplest explanation is that the patient is someone else.

But it's so much fun to speculate: Maybe someone in the king's court is hoping to fill him up with so many drugs that he collapses.
