Ok, somehow posted to the wrong thread, I meant to cheer about the CA public worker pensions being cut.

My bad. LOL

And YOU are a doctor and have actually examined President Trump...right?

How do YOU know how much he weighs and how much he is "supposed" to weigh?

Many 70 year olds, and older spetuagenarians, even those who are overweight, are perfectly healthy.

Many 25 year olds are in terrible shape and NOT healthy at all!

And President Trump is actually 71 years old and shall be 72 in June.

Your reply to that Lizavetta person was good, but entirely too polite.

I am quite impressed with the single-minded viciousness that the WaPo pursues Trump. In doing so, they make the NYT and Reuters seem fair and balanced.

That’s not Hillary! That’s Disney staff taking their animatronic back to Orlando! That thing was going to do all the pressers when Her Travesty won. Instead they gave it a new blue suit and orange wig and call it DJT in the Hall of Presidents! :-D

Dr. Jackson has been the presidential physician since 2006.

Some of them need to be Baker-ized, I think.

Yep, preferably hanging from them.

>>Of course, he’s in excellent health. He doesn’t hang out in s**t-hole countries.<<

LOL. Very true, but if the anti-American indoctrination of the Democrats isn’t effectively combated, he and all of us soon will be.

The press didn’t give a damn about Hillary’s health problems... guess their handlers didn’t give them that story.

Thanks for the information on Dr Jackson. It seems safe to assume that he would be discrete yet professionally bound to report any causes for concern including mental health issues.

How dare the doctor leave him in excellent health. Why didn’t he surreptitiously poison him. Didn’t he get the SMS from Strzok?

Trump is entitled to the same HIPAA privacy rules as a private citizen is. Dr. Jackson won't give out any information that his patient doesn't want released. And I highly doubt that mental health was part of the physical, nor should it be.

It has been part of every physical I ever had with a flight surgeon and with my private physician.

The evaluation is made by observation and rudimentary questioning something as simple as "How do you feel?", "What do you do with your spare time like hobbies?" and "How are you sleeping and eating?"

The Dr also observes your mannerisms like fidgeting, twitches and tics. They may ask you to do simple tasks that you don't even think about from a psychological point of view. Something like "Stand and turn to your right and look straight ahead" while they shine a light across your pupil. They are testing cognition, reflexes as well as look for signs of psycho-neurological abnormalities.

These may not seem like probing questions or actions but the answers/reactions may indicate underlying problems that would indicate a referral to a psychiatric specialist.

Can anyone here on FR remind us about the ‘medical exams’ that Obama had?

I do NOT remember any.

Same for Bill Clinton.
