His hair may be shorter, but his language, attitude and demeanor are in the same category as the bozo who gave us that "most fit president in history" report during the campaign. I don't believe him at all and I thought he presented as a nervous fast-talking liar.
This was embarrassing to see and hear.

And they see each other three times a day, and chat about a lot of things.
Geesh.

(61,695 posts)3. There is no way he can objectively look at
or detect whether his patient has declining faculties if he sees him every day. That's just my opinion.

(47,058 posts)6. A psych exam must be administered by a neutral professional.
And not someone who seems him every day and is his friend.
I agree with you.
