The White House has stated that the President’s blood work results will be released during the briefing Tuesday. Any guesses what the results of the cholesterol and LDL will be and will they be released?
 
my opinion is that the likelihood of genuine results being reported is fairly low.

Depends if it is his personal doctor or the Presidential physician, who is military. I doubt Admiral Jackson would sign falsified results. More likely they just wouldn’t announce it if the results were bad.

if they are really going to release the health stats, i assume that they will be good.

Agreed. If they were bad they wouldn’t even have announced the possibility.

Based on 2016 campaign numbers made public, Trump is 6'3" and weighs 236 pounds.

Baloney. Jeb Bush is 6'3" and Trump is much shorter .... perhaps 6'.

I'd say Trump is currently ~245# which gives him a 33 BMI and places him in the moderately obese category.

His diet (fast food) is atrocious and riding around in a golf cart and watching TV many hours a day is not exercise.

IMO, the 71 year old Trump is a myocardial infarction or CHF waiting to happen.
 
I’m sure his bloodwork will come back with the result “stable genius”.

I was about to say the same thing. I don't think Trump would ever allow any medical tests to be given out to the public unless it declared he was as healthy as a 20 year old.
 
He's an obese septuagenarian. There's not much suspense as to his physical state.

His medical results aren't what concern people. The thing that really matters likely isn't being assessed here.

In fairness, Trump has bad posture and is pretty damn old. He is probably 6'1 now (don't you shrink when you age?), and I agree he's obese.

I think Jeb has a love for heels on his shoes, because he and his brother have almost the same choice in footwear.
 
Basic measurements like height and weight should be part of even the most basic results released. According to 2016 campaign information, Trump was 236lbs and 6’3”.


Tuesday’s briefing will state:
O/U 255lbs. ?
O/U 6’0”. ?
Third option: these figures will not be released.

Obviously, they will reveal that he's a racist, sexist, homophobe dictator bent on subjecting the world to global thermo nuclear war.

Don’t need no stinkin’ exam to verify them apples!

A mental health exam was not part of this physical, so we will just have to go by his words and actions to decide if he fits those titles or not.

I have a feeling the quacks of the liberal elites who have already made their solemn pronouncements of insanity and incompetence will use whatever the results are to support their positions.

Being that he was not mentally examined then it is left up to the observer to decide is he is sane or not and whether or not he is competent. A reminder that extreme Narcissism is a form of mental illness, and one that one can be sane and still ne incompetent in a job.

He seems to be producing pretty good results.

His communication style needs a little work, but, really, so what?

His communication is less criminally inaccurate than the professional communicators that report on his actions.

At best, you could convict him of being a little too direct and unpolished.

During WW2, Patton was the least diplomatic and most effective General on the Allied side of the war.

I prefer to have folks that do a great job, posting great accomplishments working for me. Those that just tell a good story can tell their story walking.

Which good results?

The economy is doing pretty well. It appears ready to post a 3% growth rate for a year for the first time in about a decade.

All stock market are rising at a rate never achieved previously in a single year to level never before seen.

Manufacturing jobs are growing at the rate of about 1000 per month after falling at a faster rate over the previous decade.

Wages are rising as well as bonuses following the new tax arrangements.

50 Arab, Muslim Majority Nations, under Trump's leadership, have joined together to fight Islamic Terror. NEVER happened before.

The Chinese are actively working with the US to control North Korea. South Korea and the Pacific Rim Countries are complimenting Trump on his efforts in Korea.

NATO Nations have increased their contributions to the alliance.

Consumer confidence is hovering around historic highs.

Business confidence is higher right now than it's been in years.

22 regulations have been stopped for every new one started. This is far in excess of the promised 2 for one.

About $6 trillion of personal wealth has increased since the election.

As a part of that, my 401K is rising like a rocket. The increase March to March through March 2016 is already eclipsed by about $2500 with consistent contributions through January 10, 2017. We haven't quite made it to March yet this year. We still have another 2.5 months to go.

This is already about a 25% increase in real dollars banked over the 2016 results on about 85% of the time to do it.

This is just off the top of my head, but it's a pretty impressive list to me.
