Is It Possible That Trump Is On Medications From Another MD....

that the MD that gave us the report today doesn't know about?

I just can't believe Trump's 'blood pressure' number of 122/77.

Given his weight, diet and stress levels I really expected his BP would be much higher. Then I thought he might already be on BP meds and a diuretic.

But none reported. No BP meds. No diuretic.

Which leads me to think he might be getting treated by another MD that this guy doesn't know about.

Agree. The BP seemed pretty suspicious given his size and lifestyle. Vinca Jan 2018 #9

Caffeine (from all of those Diet Cokes) is a strong diuretic.

Ha! It's all I could do to not say self-basting.

I'm short, so I'm not thin.

My BP tended to be very low, but has risen in recent years.

Based on his looks and personality, I predict his BP to be above average and probably someone who takes BP meds.

Just my 2 cents.

122/77 seems awfully low for him.

I'm not one of those DU'ers who thinks that Trump is morbidly obese. As a matter fact, I think he is in better health than the average American male of his age. I do feel he is less healthy than other presidents, including Reagan in his first term. But that is another issue. I have no reason to believe that Trump is going to "kick the bucket" before his 75th birthday.

I never expected any sort of honest assessment from any aspect of any thing produced by this administration and Congress and I wasn't disappointed.

he certainly doesn't give a crap about most americans.

but he does care immensely about his own image among the rich people whose opinion he values.

he also cares quite a bit about his bank balance and putin's assessment of him.

and foxnews' assessment of him, of course.

We all know that the doctor's report is a lie. My question is, was Donald told this same lie? Does he believe he's in good health? Does he think he's been given a green light to continue his diet?

Sometimes a lie isn't a sin.
