What did you expect?

He's a fat slob who needs to lose weight and take anti-psychotics? Sorry.
The White House physician pronounced Donald Trump to be in “excellent health” after Trump had his first medical exam as US president on Friday, capping off a week in which his mental fitness for the job has come under intense scrutiny.

Trump spent about three hours with military doctors at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, an exam which White House doctor Ronny Jackson said went “exceptionally well”.

But why the superlatives? Excellent? Exceptionally well? Not possible. We can tell just by looking and knowing what his diet is. This is fake news.
The White House determines what data will be released from the exam. Trump is not compelled to release any information, and there is no template for the presidential exam. Jackson is expected to take questions about the results from reporters on Tuesday.
I bet his weight won't be one of them he answers. Do you suppose doctors can now start recommending a diet of cheeseburgers and 12 diet Cokes per day for seniors?

We might as well have had another five-minute report from Dr. Whoozit.



...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.

UPDATE: Turns out, the doctor's name was misspelled on the statement that the White House offered with the words "exceptional" and "excellent".  So maybe the good doctor didn't "pronounce" any such thing.

Jesus, these people.
