Juanita Jean-He Even got His Doctor to Lie

[Gothmog]

Trump and his doctor are lying about his height http://juanitajean.com/he-even-got-his-doctor-to-lie/

Following up on JJ’s earlier post: Trump even has to brag about his height. During the campaign, he boasted that he’s 6? 3?. During the briefing on his health today, the doctor reported that he’s 6? 3?. Oh, and that he weighs 239 lbs. At those stats, Trump’s body mass index (BMI) is 29.9 which classifies him as “overweight”. The BMI that would classify him as obese? 30. Trump’s driver’s license says that he’s 6? 2?. I actually met him about 10 years ago during a pro-am golf tournament, and I can assure you he’s not 6? 3? and would be on his toes to be 6? 2?.



It gets better. It gets a lot better. Jeb Bush actually IS 6? 3?. Here’s a picture of Jeb and Trump side by side at one of the debates:

1. THe dr admitted he didnt weigh or measure him I think.

At least not his height.

If a Navy Admiral acts on behalf of chief traitor at the drop of a hat, we are doomed.

2. I know, a licensed physician, a high ranking military officer, blatantly lies,

conducts a sham medical evaluation which could lead to the death
of people around the globe.

6. Depends on how close to retirement he is and what his superiors will write in his eval.

Military doctors do answer to their respective medical commands, and the head of BUMED might have something to say to him about obvious stupid falsehoods. I doubt they'd bust him, but he might not be able to get any higher, which puts a cramp in a "I want to retire at 40 years" type of career. (Personally, I think he's probably not wanting to work a more lucrative private practice job - since he stayed in long enough after Military Medical training to become an Admiral, he's probably a better administrator than he is a doctor...)

If he's close to retirement, he might not care. Retiring an admiral - an O-7 - means he pretty much doesn't need to worry about getting another job, if he's willing to slum it and just quit everything.
He'll be getting at least $4K a month of taxpayer money in pocket (that's if he's retiring at 20 years - more every two years after that) and Tricare for Life to keep him and his spouse going after he takes off his uniform for as long as he lives. And he's eligible for Social Security after he's 67, so there's probably another $2K - well, if it's there, and Paul Ryan hasn't gotten his Means Testing and Voucher system in place.

If he wanted to continue working, he could still just as easily work in an exclusive private practice as he could getting an administrative position at pretty much any medical field corporation.

He risks very little for lying about someone's health to the public. On edit - so long as he doesn't commit his lies to paper.

8. He figures he is a WH doc, he is golden, no one will give him a hard time.

Those glittery show biz type jobs usually have some leeway to prevent bad PR
for the military. And yes I bet he retires as soon as he can.

And gets another cushy job in the private sector based on his job as an Admiral rank MD in the WH.

3. I believe when the truth comes out

The good doctors credability will be shot... Then again this administration is rife with lies.. So this report on his health is just a cliché or a forgone conclusion.
The WaPo has his lies past 2000 by now... Follow not the words but the actions..

5. I knew it! I keep saying..

it seems surreal that the doctor is lying but here we are!

President Obama is 6'1" and he doesn't look taller than a real President.



Mahalo, Goth!

7. I find it truly sad that Dr.Jacksons' previously good reputation is damaged.

Recall when the correspondent fainted @Pres.Obamas' presser in 2016?
from CNN.com12/16/16
snip
"Do you know guys know where the doctor's office is?" Obama asked as they appeared to exit the room.

"There's Dr. Jackson," Obama said, presumably referring to his own doctor -- Ronny Jackson, the chief White House physician. "Doctor's in the house." End

How can a respected and valued physician give up his name?

Even after all these years of working for & with MDs &DOs&PAs&NPs, I see I still have them on a slight pedestal.
