Just another joke

The official who was previously tapped by former President Obama to lead the U.S. response to the Ebola crisis, slammed the White House physician’s recent memo summarizing President Trump’s second physical health exam in office.

“No doctor can predict someone’s future health,” Ronald Klain, who also served as chief of staff to former Vice President Joe Biden, said in a tweet on Saturday morning.

“This is a disgrace to an office with a great tradition of professionalism. Just another institution turned into a joke by a President determined to make anyone willing to submit an instrument of his lies,” he continued.

Sadly, there are always people willing to submit.

And while I agree with everything Klain has said, it's probably a bit misleading, if not outright disingenuous, to quote him while attributing his Obama appointment without mentioning his qualifications for that job.
President Barack Obama on Friday named a former longtime top aide to coordinate the government’s efforts to combat Ebola, a veteran insider with experience in navigating the government bureaucracy but also a man with no medical background.

No medical background.  He's a Harvard educated lawyer and columnist for the Washington Post "focused on public policy, legal issues and political affairs."



I doubt Klain is someone whose opinions Trumpanzees are going to respect.  Not that they'd respect anyone saying something negative about their lord and leader.

Also, I'm pretty sure Dr. Conley didn't write that memo any more than Jackson or Bornstein wrote their reports on Trump's physical condition.  But, he did put his name to it.

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

UPDATE:



In a nutshell.
