CNN: Clinton's health is fine, but what about Trump? (MSM desperation LOL alert)

As Donald Trump and his allies attempt to raise dubious questions over Hillary Clinton's health, the Republican nominee has invited new scrutiny into his own medical history.

Like Clinton, Trump has released minimal information, most notably in the form of a December 2015 letter of a few paragraphs from his personal physician, a gastroenterologist, that described his blood pressure and lab results as "astonishingly excellent" while suggesting a President Trump would be the "healthiest individual ever elected."

Dr. Sanjay Gupta, CNN's chief medical correspondent, found much of that language surprising and, in some cases, almost comically lacking in objective data.

"I don't even know what to make of this letter," he told CNN's Ashleigh Banfield on Tuesday. "Whether you are a doctor or not, that degree of hyperbole and these words being used is very unusual. People don't write like that. ... 'Strength and stamina are extraordinary' -- what does that mean, exactly?"

Her choices are limited, “should I stay on the less obese side and have seizures OR go with massive steroid doses and be fat”.

[Heart of Georgia]

“Dr. Sanjay Gupta, The Clinton News Network’s chief medical correspondent, found much of that language surprising and, in some cases, almost comically lacking in objective data.”

Sanjay, you know good and well that the letter sums up the data and the boring details of the data are typed into the medical report.

A pickle jar?????????????? Unreal, how long did the massive teamclinton have to think to do this. How did it go?....board room, 20 or so people around the table....video conf too. Then someone yells out..........hey let her open a pre-opened jar of pickles on TV. Pffft. The mere fact they put this out shows me how much trouble we are in if they know Liv’s will buy it. Pffffft

My thoughts exactly

[uncbob]

Something seems odd about her right pant leg in the image below.

Sure does

[azishot]

?

OMG!! My husband has a pair of lounging pants just like those. And I haven't seen a housecoat/duster like that since my grandma died in 1989!! Even Cher can't bear to look at her.

[Bon mots]

Sick Hillary

She is confused and exhausted after struggling to walk a mere block. You can see her stagger, wobble and shuffle - when she raises her hand to her face, her doctor swats it away and tries to get her to hide from the camera.

You then see her start to cough while trying to get away from the camera and she begins mumbling to herself. Others get in the act and steer her away from the cameras and towards a waiting limo before she could collapse on camera.

You can see in the top pic that her handlers are alarmed and are trying to surreptitiously get her to 'safety' - a waiting limo or someplace where she can collapse away from the cameras. A place with pillows and cold drinks and where her doctor can examine her privately.

Another finger points off to the right, the guy behind her prepares to catch her right arm as she mumbles to herself and limps away from the camera.

A lot going on in that brief clip. The faces around her look concerned.

Trump is Fit

Let's see Hillary carry boxes of supplies to people.
Let's see Hillary unload a truck - of supplies her foundation paid for!

[Toespi]

I know it is speculated that she is wearing a catheter. But how about an IV bag into a chest port? That would certainly explain the long coats and long sleeves in summer.

[Jaded]

Ewww. What is it with Hillary and the tents she wears? Ghastly. Raisa Gorbachev dressed better.

Cher looks like an extra from Madame Tussaud’s.

[YogicCowboy]

Sanjay Gupta is a flaming leftist.

[WMarshal]

That pantsuit makes her look like an Oompa Loonpa.

[Jaded]

Definitely. Could be a loaf of bread. It’s HUGE

[jetson]

Hey! Is that SmellBag the Clown?

[Chode]

btwn his marital fulfillment and jumping fences(not a chair in sight), i'd say he's in great shape

[AustinBill]

Exactly. The contrast is so dramatic a blind man could see it. CNN isn't going to fool anyone with that sort of line. They're just shredding whatever credibility they have left with the average viewer.

I can only assume this is part of some sort of pre-debate damage control efforts on the part of the media.

[knarf]

Honestly ...

WTF is THAT ?

No politician on the stump dresses like that ... even on casual Saturday ... NO ONE !

[LucyT]

Have you ever seen anything so dreadful!

Apparently she stumbled into a Goodwill donation bin and crawled out with whatever stuck to her.

Someone should be fired for allowing her out in public wearing that rag.

[mupcat]

No, it isn’t Photoshopped. She was actually wearing that pj outfit.

In that case her taste must be all in her mouth cause it's certainly not shown in her wardrobe selections. .

[DoughtyOne]

Yes I agree.  Clinton has perfect health.

In fact she has such perfect health that someone went to all the trouble to provide this video of the interview from the shoulders up, and in many places zoomed in to show only part of her face.

I've never seen that in 50 years of watching interviews.  So what were they trying to hide?

Thank heaven it wasn't a body that betrays her with every move.  /s

I'd bet a jar of pickles on this...

Clinton / Kimmel interview video

Clinton is only shown shoulder up, and at times the presentation is cropped so close that only about two-thirds of her face shows in the clip.

Healthy? LOL

If they gave Trump a pickle jar to open, they’d glue the lid on first.
