Whoever asked this question to the White House physician is my new hero.

1. Do bone spurs dissolve or diminish?

I didn't think so.

Trump is a liar.

[Guilded Lilly]

2. I actually had bone spurs. Horribly painful and they did eventually go away after very painful shots

The Cretin lied then, lies now and he is fooling no one but The Stupid.
He is a bone spur on America’s history.

3. Big Macs can perform miracles, can't they?

All that grease just melted those buggers away.

Watch their stock go sky high tomorrow.

5. Could be the 12 pack of diet Coke that he drinks everyday.

Maybe the Coke dissolved his bone spurs. I've heard Coke can do amazing things like loosen bolts on cars.

8. Yes, it does. In the 60s, we had a dentist who tried to get his clients to bypass pop, particularly

Coke. He had a glass of Coke with rusty nails standing to show the shiny part where the rust had been eaten off and part of the nail that was still rusty. It certainly made an impression on us kids.

Coke found out (probably through their distributor) and their lawyers sent a cease and desist order.

11. I had a mechanic years ago who used it to dissolve acid buildup on battery posts.

I've read that it's also good for cleaning toilets. Why would anybody want that in their stomachs?

4. My ex-husband and his brother both developed bone spurs as children. Very painful...

...and they both have long surgical scars on either side of their knees from having had as much as possible removed. They each developed multiple spurs elsewhere in their bodies, but ensuring the ability to walk was pretty paramount.

Their mother and father each had iirc one bone spur each (or few) that caused them little problem.

Who knows about the Mad King, whose entire life has been constructed of lies. During the Vietnam War a friendly doc could look at someone's x-ray at just the right angle and see ...something.

The part of this story I have the most trouble with is that IRL he grew up to be a chickenhawk in the Oval Office, ready and willing to order others to war.

6. I agree, excellent question!

And since they are so very painful, I'm guessing he's over them since he spends every other day playing golf.

[JBoy]

7. Did Trump have the bone spurs

Before, during, or after the time when he was "always the best athlete"?

[DFW]

9. And if Trump weighs 239 pounds, then Montana is smaller than Delaware.

With his big gut and fat lard ass, both of which he is perfectly willing to display on golf courses, he's at least 40 pounds heavier and might even be 300.

The "physician" might as well have been sent from Fox Noise--that's about how much credibility his "findings" have.

10. Larry Sabato no less

Sabato takes a dog at Trump. I love it.

12. My high blood pressure went away in 1972...

I closed the window, when I found out it was caused by a draft...

[R B Garr]

13. Have the bone spurs ever kept him from playing golf?

Someone needs to ask that in front of the cameras.

[BSdetect]

14. We need stats on the bone spurs excuse for draft evasion.

And do they leave any trace that can be found decades later?

I doubt he ever had any such spurs and that he received any "treatment" for them. He would not know what the treatment was supposed to have been anyway. Bet he would say he forgot.

I'd rather see his tax returns though.
