Why do we care how tall or wide he is?

I want to know the measurements indicating how crazy he is, and how much I have to worry about the exact inches between his temperament, his index finger and his telephone, his tweets, and a button that would cause death and destruction to many souls on our planet.

Dear Doctor Ronnie... Please give us THAT information, and not just something based on what he is telling you to say.

about things big and small, no matter what. Most people fudge a little on height and weight

supporting lies to protect the president is repulsive to me.

He said he was, 'encouraged" by Trump's cardio calcium level, (I think that was the word he said but it could have been different) and then we find out that Trump's number were well above the level that indicated heart disease!

“His cardiac health is excellent,” Dr. Jackson said.

And from Dr. Sanjay Gupta, "about test results that showed Mr. Trump’s coronary calcium score had increased to 133, from 34 in 2009. On CNN, Dr. Gupta repeatedly showed a chart suggesting that levels above 100 indicate someone with heart disease.

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/17/us/politics/trump-physical-heart-health-cholesterol.html


So the guy's LDL cholesterol levels and coronary calcium score suggest that Trump has heart problems and that doctor went on and on about how great his health was and, at one point, suggested that he would have a higher life expectancy but when pressed about it said that his life expectancy would be similar to most men his age.

The entire party, the entire government is complicit to help Dumpster's fantasy world because it allows them to continue to rape and pillage. I don't remember press conferences for Obama's health or even Shrub, because it wasn't important. Here, we have a fat-assed old bastard who eats nothing but shit and suddenly Bright Eyes is chirping away about how healthy he is.

Bullshit.

Reveal the whole thing is a load of crap. Nothing the doctor says can be taken seriously, so a report on his 'temperament' would be utterly useless.

We know it’s all bullshit, but they are deflecting from what really matters. He could be seven feet tall, 500 pounds and sane. But he’s not.

The world is laughing at us. So long as trump's obvious lies continues, he retains the label of liar in chief. He does himself and his credibility harm.

Jackson to lie as well. Even if Jackson came out with the truth, it doesn't change anything. There are too many important topics to waste time on this.

Certainly lies, but stop looking at what color of socks the Wicked Witch wore, or Hitler’s little mustache! The point is that we know them to be liars and that they are distracting us with all of this nonsense!

Come on guys, focus on the big picture! His weight and height isn’t it!!!
