WASHINGTON (AP) — A fuller readout of President Donald Trump’s health following his first medical check-up is expected later Tuesday.
Trump’s White House physician – Navy doctor Ronny Jackson – declared Trump to be in “excellent health” following last Friday’s exam at the Walter Reed military hospital in Maryland.
White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Jackson will attend her briefing Tuesday to provide a more complete readout on Trump’s physical health.
Not expected are any conclusions about Trump’s mental acuity. Questions about Trump’s mental fitness have been raised following comments attributed to some of his close advisers in a new book, and his recent slurring of words on national TV.
Presidents aren’t required to get a checkup, but modern presidents do so regularly and release a doctor’s report on the findings.
Who will have the cajones to ask if Trump’s blood was screened for syphilis?
Neurosyphilis is on my short list.
The report will be about as useful and informative as this event:
President Dumpster has a different definition of “empowerment” than the rest of us do.
(Bleugh…)
Wonder if it’s actually “excellent health for an elderly overweight dude who eats way too much junk food, drinks too much diet coke, gets no exercise and is mad as a hatter”…
Oh, my bad, the last part won’t be there because there was no mental health check.
I think we should look for out-of-place gestures, facial expressions, or anything else that might be a coded message.
