Dr Ronny Jackson said Der Shitler is in excellent health. Will give details Tuesday

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/white-house-doctor-president-trump-is-in-excellent-health/ar-AAuAgQG?OCID=ansmsnnews11Swinger

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump's White House physician declared him in "excellent health" after the president received his first medical checkup at Walter Reed military hospital on Friday, undergoing a physical examination amid suggestions in a recent book and by his detractors that he's mentally unfit.

Dr. Ronny Jackson, in a statement released by the White House, said the examination "went exceptionally well. The President is in excellent health and I look forward to briefing some of the details on Tuesday." Trump spent about three hours at the medical facility in Bethesda, Maryland, outside Washington, for the Friday afternoon checkup, his first as president, before departing for Florida for the weekend.

There is no way a 71 year old man who has a steady diet of KFC and McDonalds all his life and who doesn't exercise is in "excellent health". It isn't humanly possible. Add the stress of his job and a bad Diet Coke habit and there is no way he can possibly be healthy. Just LOOK at him!! If it wasn't for the make-up he would look like death warmed over.

I am not buying this at all. I hope the motherfucker strokes out on the golf course.

You are so right. tRump is fat and out of shape. With that diet and no cardiovascular exercise, at 71, the human body is a ticking time bomb.

I think tRump should worry about a stroke or heart attack more than SC Mueller.

A man why was very overweight, drank hard liquor from morning to night for his adult life and smoked a dozen or more cigars every day. In addition he had the most stressful job on the planet trying to defend Great Britain against Germany when every other European country had fallen. He lived to 90.

And yes, let the fucker have a stroke. And I hope he dies screaming.

So all he could address is BP, heart rate, some quickie blood work, his BMI (we know that’s not good) and a lot f self reporting.

Meanwhile he needs to learn to spell his own name.

While you’re making all those assumptions about what I’m assuming you might consider what’s going on there.

I believe the statement was crafted by the WH and put out under the doctor’s name, which in their typical manner they managed to screw up. I asked “What?” because I actually did not understand your reply. I trust that’s clear.

His cholesterol HDL is he off the charts. His LDL is so low we can't even measure it. His EKG was like an athlete who is going to the Olympics. There is no indication of any mental decline and he is as sharp as any patient I have ever had. There is no indication of any social disease. Patient has no need for sleep which apparently does not give him any impairments.
-Dr. Spin, official Dr. of the White House.

Yeah right, excellent health.

The obesity alone is a major risk factor. He gets no serious, sustained cardio exercise or core-and-resistance training (imperative as one ages, to avoid muscle loss). His diet would make anyone sick, as it’s mostly carbs and straight sugars. All the anger and paranoid rantings have to take a toll — they pump cortisol (the body’s stress hormone, a natural steroid) into the bloodstream, which will add to belly fat and obesity. Sleeplessness and/or patchy sleep does not refresh the brain (no chance for REM sleep, a key to mental health and stability); it will also elevate blood pressure, which is likely elevated already by the obesity.

There is no way in HELL anyone who fits the above profile is in “excellent health.” In fact, such a person, in genuine reality (not Trumpworld) would be a sitting duck for hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, stroke, cognitive decline, depression and dementia. Any decent physician would recommend such a patient do ALL of the following:
-See a dietician, get a plan going to eat healthy and LOSE WEIGHT
-Start cardio exercise (walking, swimming, etc.) and strength training 3X/week
-Monitor blood pressure daily, take meds
-Reduce cholesterol and triglycerides.
-Quit being a world-class asshole

No no no. I want tRump to add more burgers, more soda-pop, and never see the inside of a gym.

Big difference. The WH released a statement saying that is what Dr Jackson said. Dr Jackson has not released a statement. Or if he did, he spelled his first name wrong.

The WH statement almost echoes the statement released by rumps “doctor” from the campaign who also said he was in excellent health.

Because that’s the name signed to the statement.

So either Dr. Jackson forgot how to spell his own name, or he didn’t write that statement.

excellent health. He at least has some blood pressure and cholesterol issues. Bone density and weight is also a factor. So that snake oil salesman doctor can sell that bull*$#@ somewhere else. However, we all knew this would be the announced results.
