Well, we’re back to this again. Like many in the liberal news media, The Washington Post had their doubters about President Donald Trump’s medical report. The president is in excellent health: good heart rate, blood pressure, and cognitive function. There was a sigh among the press corps, who so desperately seemed to want to hear that the president was a cheeseburger away from a heart attack, had memory issues, or something else was wrong with him to paint a narrative that he was an unstable mess. Were they hoping for AIDS, Hepatitis C, necrotizing fasciitis, or anything to further denigrate this presidency? If you watched the presser, where questions like, is Trump addicted to drugs, were brought up—I’d say that’s a red flag that this press crew wanted him to have at least one terrible ailment. One op-ed writer from the Post decided to go there again, asking if the president’s doctor, Rear Admiral Ronny Jackson, was okay?
The White House Press Corps Goes Crazy on Trump's Health
So, there you have it; medical professionals are elite and unquestionable until they say something you don’t like. This is how bad the press is to get Trump; even physicians are cast aside, questioned as quacks if they say something positive about the president. The closing portion of this column is just too good [emphasis mine]:
I put the question to Bandy X. Lee, the Yale Medical School psychiatrist who compiled the controversial book “The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump,” raising doubts about Trump’s mental fitness.
Lee said the screening test Jackson gave Trump “gives the public a false sense of reassurance.” Indeed, Donald Trump Jr. used the results of the test in a tweet: “More #winning. 30 out of 30.”
She said the test, though useful for detecting Alzheimer’s and the like, indicates little about “his high functioning, his frontal-lobe functioning, that we’re questioning.” To figure out what causes the worrisome traits President Trump exhibits — disordered decision-making, an insatiable need for affirmation, little impulse control, confusion about facts, difficulty foreseeing consequences — you’d need more extensive tests, a psychological exam and an MRI.
But, in a sense, you don’t need a doctor’s diagnosis to see that there’s a lot of chaos and volatility in the presidential brain.
That, Lee speculates, could explain powerful sycophancy that overcomes those who get close to Trump. “Those close to him are sensing this level of appeasement is necessary,” Lee speculated. They “feel they need to step in as a way to diminish his volatility and rage.”
The danger, Lee said, is that Trump’s courtiers do this for too long and succumb to “shared psychosis,” in which they come to “share his view of the world and lose touch with reality.”
They might even come to believe that a sedentary 71-year-old with significant plaque in his coronary arteries, high cholesterol and borderline obesity is the very picture of health.
Ah! So, Trump now has magical powers. Also, yes, he didn’t take a psychiatric exam, that doesn’t mean he’s crazy. Also, Dr. Jackson was Obama’s doctor—funny how that is omitted from the column. So, I’m sorry, media—but you won’t be covering the president’s death or loss of motor skills any time soon. My question is are y’all okay? Another one of your narrative just blew up in your faces.
Oh, but you know, for Hillary Clinton, questions about her health were off limits.
Media Has A Very Different Attitude Toward Trump's Health Than Clinton's
What did WaPo do to get to the truth of Hillary’s malady?
Now they want to investigate the doctor since his results didn’t coincide with what they diagnosed Trump’s health to be.
Brandy X an insular thinking bubble brain from Yale where they kiss each others liberal butts.
When the camera pans across the WH press corps during the briefings, I see, with a very few exceptions, a bunch of over-degreed, under-educated, entitled, spoiled elitists who have no life experience outside of their fragile little bubble. They make me want to vomit. I take some comfort in the belief that they’re probably massively unhappy.
Hillary was walking like Pinocchio with no strings, and they did nothing to out her health condition.
Did anyone do in an depth interview of either of those two doctors that followed her everywhere she went?
Who of us can afford two full time physicians at our side?
Who of us even needs two doctors at their side?
The woman was passing out in public, falling at least three times that we know of.
Presidential?
Is the Washing Post okay? Do they need help? Perhaps a bevy of physicians should descend on them. What the heck is wrong with them?
Uh, Dana, “Trump’s” doctor, Ronny Jackson, has been the primary physician for three Presidents, and I don’t recall that any of the leftist fake stream media like WaPo ever questioned his competency until now. With propaganda like this article, it’s no wonder WaPo “won” one of the highly coveted “Fakie” awards, and clearly WaPo is on track to win at least one “Fakie” in 2019.
Trump Dr is a Russian bot.
Can't recall hearing of him again until this incident.
For the General's sake, I hope to God this meathead isn't even microscopically related.
The good doctor wears jump wings. Methinks the doctor is the real deal.

He was okay when he was obungler’s doctor though, wasn’t he?
If trump sat in a bathtub one day in ancient Greece and discovered the concept of displacement and density the democrats would be burning down the tub merchant’s shop....
“”She said the test, though useful for detecting Alzheimer’s and the like, indicates little about “his high functioning, his frontal-lobe functioning, that we’re questioning””
Yale medical school psychiatrist - notice “THAT WE’RE QUESTIONING.” No bias there, lady! I realize she would have an MD degree but I think tests she’s thinking of would be ordered by a neurologist or other specialist and not a psychiatrist. We know from her words alone where she stands on the subject. It’s always amazing/amusing to me that people who are supposedly so bright have so little introspection..
Assumedly he would be replaced by a panel of shrinks and TV Network Talking Head Doctors appointed by the DNC, who will remotely diagnose Trump's mental AND physical health, based only on TV clips specially selected for them to watch.
Libtards: if you dont agree with their narrative they shriek that you are ill.
