This "medical evaluation" was a sham and insult to the American people.

There are many legitimate, serious concerns about Trump's fitness for office.
And it is not just the American people who are concerned, but many others around
the globe. This patient is not an ordinary guy, he is the president of the United States,
with many serious responsibilities that impact the life, death and welfare of many.

The physician did not take any of it seriously. He appears to have a personal relationship with Trump, sees him three times a day to chat and hang out. He paints a picture of Trump as sharp, with it, affable, intelligent, with no observable behavior problems, etc.

This depiction is at total odds with the picture the world sees every day. Slurring words, confusion, word finding problems, difficulty understanding what people are saying to him, obvious memory problems, acting out in hostile irrational ways, mean, vindictive and petty, poor impulse control, signs he lives in his own reality. There are many more issues of concern but I will leave it at that.

The medical exam finds Trump in perfect health to the point he will live to 200 yrs of age.
Other results also strain credulity.

And in response to the world's legitimate concerns about mental status, this physician gives Trump a ten minute screening tool of cognitive abilities. One that is available online and is said to have been selected by Trump himself. The physician proudly announces Trump has a perfect score.

Any psych test results, based upon a test which a patient can read beforehand and even practice specific test tasks, is 100% invalid, totally worthless and means nothing in terms of results.

I have more to say, but am too pissed off. Best to keep my mouth shut.

so problematic.

There was the malted chug to see how many malts he could swill in one minute.

Then there was the big red barn door find to prove his eyesight was good.

He was handed a very presidential crayon to complete a "connect the dots" test.

All that may have taken half a day to complete, and he may have used his Ivanka life line a few times when he just couldn't remember the names of some countries (like Normay and Nambia), but, damnit, he is in fine presidential shape.

20. Scientists Baffled by Trump's Stunning Improvement in Health Since Vietnam Era
Tue Jan 16, 2018, 10:54 PM
Jan 2018
WASHINGTON --
Leading medical researchers said on Tuesday that they were “baffled” by the stunning improvement in Donald J. Trump’s health since the days of the Vietnam War.

“Somehow, by leading a sedentary lifestyle consisting mainly of watching television and going on Twitter, he has transformed himself from a frail young invalid unable to serve in the military to perhaps the healthiest man in the world,” said Dr. Davis Logsdon of the University of Minnesota.

Trump’s miraculous recovery from what was previously considered an incurable foot ailment also left scientists scratching their heads. "Clearly, there needs to be further study of the ability of a 10,000-calorie-a-day diet from McDonalds to cure bone spurs," Logsdon said.

Secretly, of course, he had been dying since around 1977 - and in fact had a near-death experience in 1980. He ultimately passed away in 1982.

Fit is not a doctor's evaluation. That is the evaluation of not only the people but if I psychiatrist.

Actually seeing men who are the same weight and height described by the doc shows us the report is BS.

61. BP of a 30-year-old?

A guy on Sky News (U.K.) said a doctor told him the blood pressure they gave might be good for a 30-year-old but was not believable for a 71-year-old.

Colbert thought it awfully convenient that his weight is one pound below obese.

The evaluation was simply par for the course and EXPECTED.

I thought the doc would have been a bit more professional, more objective.
I was not prepared for him being such a sycophant.

I was prepared for what happened. I imagine you were like me an had never heard of the doctor. After everything I have seen from people around Trump, I fully expected the Dr. to be a sycophant. What else was going to happen?

The word sycophant, which you use in reference to the Dr., is meant to highlight someones obedience toward someone on an important topic. This is not an important topic and it's commonplace for many people to be obedient to Trump when it comes to important issues.

This isn't Trumps first stellar Dr.'s report.

I don't know how so many were caught off guard. It just shouldn't happen at this point. Specially on something so trivial.
