Donald Trump to undergo medical check amid swirl of allegations over his health

Donald Trump will attempt to end speculation about his mental and physical suitability for the presidency next week by undergoing a formal health check.

The US president is to be examined by the same doctor as his predecessor Barack Obama, and a summary of the results will be made public.

The physical test will last around two hours and include blood and urine tests, heart checks and even questions about his sleeping habits and sex life, according to medical experts.

It will be carried out at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on the edge of Washington DC, the country’s largest military hospital, on Friday.

By undergoing his first formal medical check since entering the White House, Mr. Trump hopes to put to bed allegations about his mental state that emerged this week.

A controversial new book by journalist Michael Wolff claimed Mr. Trump was failing to recognize old friends and often repeated stories “word-for-word”. The White House called questions about his mental suitability for office “disgraceful”. …

He uses Obama’s doctor the first go around as a test to see if he will lie.

Try this (more believable):

The O-6 that ran the department at Bethesda is still stationed there (probably a four year controlled tour) and is the logical person to be in charge of the annual POTUS physical, regardless of who the POTUS is.

He was on Fox last month saying he had booked his annual checkup in Jan., so this has NOTHING to do with the book or the Democrat media.

That animated gif of the cat shaking his head is just so cute If I could have gotten it large enough for everyone to really see it without it being blurred.

It's better than the 'face palm guy'. Know the one I mean?

The original was about twice this size. I'll try to enlarge, but I'm not very good at this sort of thing.

The original of the cat shaking his head was about the size of the original in your post. Thanks

I was thinking that pretty much all sitting presidents have had a full physical exam followed by a public statement about the results — all except Arkansas Slick whose health status was a national secret.

Did we hear all the details of Obama’s sex life? Why would Obama tell the doctor the truth?

Yeah, I was wondering if my method might not work on other browsers.

Using those codes, < and > would eliminate the necessity of leaving a space so that the code isn't executable and then having to instruct someone to eliminate it.

test using a copy and paste of your non-executable code...

Cool

I'm a little confused...
How did you prevent the < and > codes in your first paragraph from showing as < and > ?
I tried to mimic it in my 2nd paragraph but they showed up as < and > whereas yours didn't.
The only difference I can see is the font.

His press spokeswoman Sanders announced this weeks ago, saying it would take place in early Jan. This is nothing new or uncertain, it was announced in the White House press room.

I’m taking this story with a grain of salt. Every POTUS has a regular annual physical exam at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center (formerly “Bethesda Naval”). The idea that this was scheduled because of the Wolff book is ludicrous. The exam is done by military doctors, and may or may not be the same exact doctors who did Obama or GWB.

Doesn’t the President get care at a Military Hospital? I want to say Walter Reed, but I think that one closed. Guys?

Well . . .
Typing &lt; and &gt; produces < and > respectively, while preventing it from turning into HTML machine code.
Typing &amp;lt; and &amp;gt; makes &lt; and &gt; appear in the text.
&amp; is the code for the ampersand character.
Have a look at the page source code and have some fun with it.

And of course, there’s the matter of how truthful an Obama-appointed doctor will be.

The “trainee reporter” at the Telegraph said it’s the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center; that’s in Bethesda, and used to be called the National Naval Medical Center. The Walter Reed Army Medical Center in DC closed in 2011.
