This report is entirely unbelievable

But most Americans won't think about this critically.

Our populace has been dumbed-down so critical analysis no longer applies to their views of our so-called leaders.

The entire style of his clothing is to hide his girth.

Once again, I am not fat-shaming. I merely want the truth.

that Trump is at least a few inches shy of 6'3"

I'm guessing closer to 5'11" to 6'0" at best. See the picture at the link below.

Loosen the tinfoil.

I remember when this place blew up over non-doctors pretending to give medical diagnoses. Now some people here do it all the time.

Like I said, sad.

I'm happy because we can still express our views. Thank you, Bill of Rights. I'm confident that if Trump could, he'd shut us down.

There are very few statements that come from the Trump White House that can withstand scrutiny. Given your posting history and longevity on DU illustrates that you know what I write is true.

In fact, I am not making a diagnosis as I am not a doctor. But I do have critical thinking abilities and when I assess the comments from this administration, they lie with impunity.

Can you really dispute Trump's weight? Or his BP/HR given his acknowledged diet?

Regardless, we are on the same side in this morass.

Lastly, I use aluminum foil. (wink)

Do you not find that a bit ... UNLIKELY?

And if he's not being honest about that ... it's logical to wonder if he's being honest about ... anything, really.

The mental decline and dementia-like behavior is pretty undeniable at this point, though there may be no measurable 'signs' in terms of things showing up in blood work or the like.

I'm not going to 'diagnose' from afar, but I will say I'm beginning to wonder if he might not have some 'lewy bodies' going on myself.

And it would seem to be correct to say that he is Commander-In-Chief and hence holds de-facto executive power over his physician.

... guises of national security or some shit.

the admiral was had a couple of tells that he wasn't telling the truth including saying "you know" too many times when speaking about something factual.

But I have no evidence to believe Dr. Jackson is lying. The statement from the Whitehouse with his name spelled incorrectly stinks, but still not enough info to believe the Dr. lied.

trump is a sociopath. Medical diagnoses of that condition cannot be done with a rudimentary test. The mental abnormalities of trump are obvious are beyond question. But claiming he is insane or infirmed is speculation. To me, he looks like a walking corpse, but I may be biased.

it might have been a way for him to follow orders, but still be able to signal to anyone who knew him that it wasn't truly his name. Kind of like someone trying to signal they have been kidnapped and needed help.

Hey, that may sound strange, but how many strange things have we seen during this administration.

It would be interesting to see how he signed Obama and Bush's report.

What I found interesting was that he visits with him several times/day? For a reason? Trump has time?

Last week, he didn't sign anything.
Last week the WH "quoted" him and spelled his name incorrectly.

Also, physicians do not sign their name "Dr. Joe Blow". They sign it "Joe Blow, MD".

He was appointed by President Obama. This is from Wikipedia:

Was he lying about them? Did you accept his report about them?

My point still stands, however.

As a military officer, the president's physician is obligated to follow his lawful orders.

Here is my skeptical perspective: What if Trump ordered Dr. Jackson to issue a healthy report? Given the publicly available evidence that Trump has tried to obstruct justice, do you really think Trump wouldn't skew his physical?

We live in weird times.

But I can remember the left questioning Bush's exams. And then the right questioning Obama's exams (self admitted drug use and a 30 year heavy smoking habit). All by the same doctor that examined Trump. Watching Trump on TV I have no reason to believe he is unhealthy for a 71 year old . (BTW I would never vote for anyone 65 or older for President because I think that is too old. Call me ageist or whatever) I am not going to play an internet doctor. If others wish to do that, fine, but I think it is at the level of gossip.

We're on the same side.

Vote for Democratic candidates!

I've watched Trump and he seems to be more of an a**hole than anything else.

I remember people were saying Bush had a low IQ. I don't think he had a low IQ. He graduated from both Yale and Harvard.

"Sir, do you want the president of the most power nation in the world to appear weak, when we've got nukes in south korea under the control of a petulant toddler?" (nevermind our own petulant toddler) "It's your duty to insure that faith in our country is maintained.."

blah blah blah

He was appointed by President Obama. This is from Wikipedia:

against suddenly dropping down dead....been to quite a number of furneals over the past few years that support this..

for a sick pres. jfk, raygun...

i agree he could be ordered to lie, and a good officer might well consider it his duty to do so.

he would have lost at least an inch, I’m not buying what they are selling.

to justify their lies.

The military: "The commander in chief is in excellent health"
