rooster59 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Trump in 'excellent health,' White House doctor says after exam U.S. President Donald Trump waves from the steps of Marine One helicopter upon his departure after his annual physical exam at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, U.S., January 12, 2018. REUTERS/Yuri Gripas WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The White House physician pronounced Donald Trump to be in "excellent health" after Trump had his first medical exam as U.S. 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 that White House doctor Ronny Jackson said went "exceptionally well." "The president is in excellent health and I look forward to briefing some of the details on Tuesday," Jackson said in a brief statement distributed by the White House. The exam came after a new best-selling book portrayed Trump, 71, as unfocused and childlike. The White House has faced a barrage of questions over his contradictory messages on key policies and an incident last month where he slurred some words while giving a speech. 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. Past presidents are not known to have been tested for mental acuity while in office - including Ronald Reagan, who five years after leaving the White House was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. The White House had made clear that Trump's examination would not include a psychiatric exam. Results of past presidential physicals have included basic data like weight, blood pressure and cholesterol levels. There is a long history of the White House picking and choosing what to reveal about the commander in chief's health, said Barbara Perry, director of presidential studies at the University of Virginia’s Miller Center. For example, John F. Kennedy disclosed war injuries but not the fact he suffered from Addison's disease, a degenerative condition. Perry said she believed presidents should be subject to a raft of tests to establish they are fit to serve. When he was running for office, Trump released a glowing report from his personal physician in New York, who said Trump would be "the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency." The public report from Trump's upcoming exam was also likely to be short and sweet, said George Annas, head of the Center for Health Law, Ethics and Human Rights at Boston University School of Public Health. "I don’t think you could expect to see anything else, unless it’s something that makes him look good," Annas said. -- © Copyright Reuters 2018-01-13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jingthing Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 If he wasn't in excellent health, do you think they would say anything different? That's an objective fact. They are under no obligation to be truthful in such reports. That applies to any president. If something becomes critical like a long hospital stay, then of course, the information would get out.

Jingthing Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Very poor diet and no exercise. If he is really in excellent health, it's a matter of luck and lucky genetics. We all hear of 100 year old chain smokers. Same kind of thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buick Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 i think this goes to show that alot of your heath concerns are related to your gene pool. my aunt smoked 5 packs a day, had a cig going nearly every minute she was awake. she did this for 50 years, from age 15 to 65. she is now 80. she did begin to suffer lung issues after 60 but once she finally stopped, she has been fine. would not recommend the trump diet and exercise regimen to anyone !!

Do you really believe all that or as I suspect, do trumpists only post garbage like that to try to trigger anti-trumpists? One term at a time. The question now is whether he makes it through his first term. Second term possibilities can wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silurian Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 (edited) I heard the doctor had a hard time performing the colonoscopy as he wasn't sure what orifice to put the camera into as Donny John spews crap out of both ends.

dunroaming Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 While I very much doubt his mental health was checked. When I have a medical for insurance they never question my mentally (which is probably a good thing) and just concentrate on my physical wellbeing. However lets just imagine for a moment that it included a check on his mental stability. Let's also imagine that they found him to be sane. That is really, really scary. That means that he actually knows what he is doing and he really is that stupid and more to the point dangerous. A narcissistic, racist, bigoted low life piece of dirt who is not mentally insane? It beggars belief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not hard to see why he is in excellent health Yes, kudos on the smoking/drinking - watching his brother Fred Jr. die young from alcoholism was probably a contributing factor - but his lifestyle/diet would hardly seem to contribute to "excellent health"? Donald Trump’s Typical McDonald’s Dinner Order Is A Calorific Nightmare According to the two, a typical dinner order for Trump consisted of “two Big Macs, two Fillet-O-Fish, and a chocolate malted” shake. Keep in mind the daily recommended calories for a sedentary, 71-year-old man like Trump is around 2,000 calories. Trump’s dinner alone comes out to a minimum of 2,672 calories, and that’s only if he orders a small shake. https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/donald-trumps-typical-mcdonalds-order-snacks_us_5a259dbde4b03350e0b8c2bb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
