(12,207 posts)17. Tony need to understand that this is the most medically informed president the country has ever seen
His uncle was an M.D. and because of that he learned enough to be a dr. himself. Fact is, given that Tony's experience was confined to labs and clinics, Tony should appreciate the medical knowledge that can be gained from running casinos (into the ground) and being a tv host.
What's Tony ever done besides push a couple of pills here and there.
Our president would'a been a great M.D. but he sacrificed his medical career to lead us. He knows so much about doctoring that he probably didn't even have to spend time in med. school. He could'a just taken the boards and hung out his shingle.
