Trump in 'excellent health,' White House doctor says.

Post Reply New Topic

Bad news for some I'm sure. Despite wolfing down cheeseburgers, taco bowls and guzzling soda pop. It looks like President Trump passed his first annual physical examination.

Here's to seven more vigorous years at least!

For those here who are dismayed at the prospect of him being the President until 2024, just spare a thought for the poor Russians who are stuck with President Putrid until the day he decides he's had enough of the job, whilst so many of his cretinous supporters in the West (like at the "Russia Insider" website) think he's the greatest thing to happen to Russia since it first became a nation.

I read a headline that said Trump lied about his health so that his BMI didn't calculate into the Obese range.

Personally, I don't believe he's in "excellent health." I do believe that this press release is positive spin PR, as can be expected. Physically, he may be in OK health, his blood pressure/cholesterol etc may be within healthy ranges - but there's no way that his body composition can be considered as in "excellent health." He's mildly obese & that comes with health consequences.

They refused to do any sort of psychiatric evaluation. I understand why. MASSIVE pressure from Trump not to. It would be career ending for the doctor. However, given Trump's erratic nature I feel the doctor has done a disservice to the American people and the world at large by not requiring some sort of mental assessment to ensure he's fit to carry out his duties w/o endangering the lives of everyone on Earth via provoking nuclear war. I understand why doctors would opt not to do the assessment if they're not obligated to, but I feel their reasons are self serving & not in the best interest of the USA or the world.

Yes, I am biased. I don't believe he is mentally fit to run the Trump organization, never mind the USA. No, I'm not a psychiatrist. I'm simply a human on this planet who doesn't want to see some mentally unstable man provoke a nuclear war, whether Trump or Kim or some other unstable imbalanced person.

Also, doctors reports can spew all the BS they want. They can say he's in "excellent health," because that's what he wants them to say for obvious reasons, but in the end IF he's not in excellent health there is no escaping the consequences. He could fall ill or have a heart attack etc if he's in rough medical shape regardless of what's on paper. So, in the physical sense, what's on paper doesn't really matter. Only what actually happens to his body does. I do not WANT him to be sick, I just don't believe that a fat old man who eats McDonald's frequently & barely exercises is in "excellent health." I'd believe "mediocre," at best. And I certainly do not believe he's mentally fit & do believe the mental competency test was avoided because the doctor(s) likely believe the same and were pressured by Trump, or themselves and their rational self interest, not to go there. I HOPE that the worst thing that happens because of Trump's failing mental health is that he gets removed from office under the 25th amendment and that the world does not incur loss of human life/nuclear holocaust because of it.

No for supporting trump. Because doing so is deplorable.

It is quite difficult legally to force someone to have a psych exam. Autistics especially should not want that to change. Nothing that shocks everybody during his presidency is anything different from what he said as candidate. While I would not hire him for anything he was elected in spite of and because of who he is. A forced psych exam or his removal for psych reasons are reminiscent of communist ways of nullifying political opponents and will be seen as a coup by a large minority of the American population leading who knows what short and long term consequences and could set a very bad precedent.

While it would not surprise me in the least if the doctors report is a cover up it might very well be correct as he ran a very vigorous campaign without obvious physical collapse unlike Hillary which might have tipped the election.

Until at least 2021 we got to rely on the generals to talk him out a tantrum nuke launch or be willing to be executed or spend the rest of their lives in prison for refusing an order. The worst part is everytime the “resistance” blocks him it increases the chance of him totally losing it. Horrific situation but it is what it is.

It's the standard yearly phsyical presidents take. The findings will be published Tuesday. No set up. Nor is Putin involved. Just standard operating procedure.

I don't think there's anything in the constitution saying the president is supposed to be an Adonis or whatever. Especially one who's 71 years old.

Anyways I thought liberals were supposed to be against body shaming.

Liberals are the most hateful group I ever met...

If we ever have a plus size woman as president, the liberals would be outraged by anyone saying anything about her body mass or what she eats etc. Absolutely furious going on about body-shaming and fatophobia etc.

But since it's a man and a republican, he's fair game and it's encouraged.

He doesn't look very healthy, perhaps he need a napkin made of fried chicken to wipe is face, but then even that may not get rid of the orange.
