it's not a question if Dr. Jackson lied

it's obvious he did.
The question is why?
I think, like other military men, he did his assigned job under Obama, like Gen Kelly.
But now under this fascist asshole, his true colors come out and he trades truth for ideology.
He's a truebeliever who picks Trump over honor or country.

"You know, this is the leader of the most powerful country in the world, who's facing nukes in south korea, with an unstable idiot with his finger on the button. The world's faith in our nation could be seriously undermined if you present anything less than a stellar check up.."

blah blah blah flag blah blah amber waves of grain.

were at one time well regarded and then their true colors came out, so it's possible.

6. Flynn wasn't well regarded for some time which is why they warned others of him

Kelly is just a bigot .

3. Honor is relative

Is he really honoring the people of the United States by suggesting that a guy who probably weighs 300 pounds (and looks it) only weighs 240, when every photo taken of the man tells a different story?

He's saying, "Hey, America, you're so stupid, you'll believe any lie I tell you" and that's acting honorably? I know, I know: "I vas only followink orders...." Heard THAT one before.

It looked like a hostage video. I hope his wife and children were released.

14. My husband didn't know who he was; just saw him on the screen with the sound turned off.

And he said, "Who is that? Boy, does he look stressed!"

You're right, it looked like a hostage video.

...did not see any documentation. The height/weight seem strange - but the doctor was not under oath. Trump would fire the doctor if he did not get his pre-planned health report.

The dude was breathless, talked like he was on a coke-jag, and gave these yeah-yeah-yeah overly simple speedy “explanations.”

When he got to the part about Trump’s great genetics, and “that’s how God made him,” (or something close to that), that, to me, was a huge “tell” — Doc Ronny did NOT tell the whole story about the Obese Dotard who’s probably on more meds than a hophead.

19. Maybe Fatso Don refused to be weighed and measured. That wouldn't surprise me.

Doesn't look like ANY President would get a bad bill of health.
Think about it.
