Dr. Ronny Jackson is supposed to brief the press today on details about Trump's annual doctor's visit. Do you trust him to be truthful?

No, but then I don't trust any doctor that a president has examining them to tell the truth even if there is something wrong. That goes for a Dem or Republican president.

In a shot of him making a golf shot, he has an enormous gut. And with his diet, how about his cholesterol & his blood pressure? We won't have to worry about the 25rth aftrer he keels over of a heart attack or stroke.
 
I am going to withhold judgement until I hear. That being said, I take with a grain of salt most things that come from the White House regardless of affiliation. The doctor is an active duty serviceman (0-8, Rear Admiral). Maybe some better versed in law member can share an opinion on what takes precedence, an order from CinC or the HIPAA rules?

As I know absolutely nothing about the doctor, I have no way to judge. Thankfully, I am pretty indifferent to what the doctor has to say. Trump's health is his concern, not mine.

It's just an annual physical, why would I not trust the results?
 
If Jackson concludes that an obese man who eats almost nothing but junk food and believes that exercise is bad for you is in "excellent health," then I'm calling bull****.

He's already said that Trump is in excellent health. He's giving more details today.
 
We have no idea yet what diagnostic tests/procedures Trumps physical consisted of and what medical information/data (if any) will be released.

Dr. Ronny Jackson (Physician to the President) is a salaried White House employee, subservient to Trump, and no doubt must coordinate with the WH Communications Department.

It is in the political (and national security?) interests of Jackson's client (Trump) to minimize/compartmentalize whatever physiological problems are diagnosed/treated.

FWIW, I can't imagine Trump passing a treadmill/chemical stress-test with an immediate cardiac ultrasound coupled with arterial blood-flow measurements.

If the report is as detailed as the ones I saw for Obama, yes. If the report looks like the one that came from Trump's personal doc, no - that was a joke.

Poll needs "Other"...

Well it would be just our luck as a country for Trump to be in excellent physical health.

They now chemically get the heart rate where it is needed to perform the nuclear stress test, when the patient is unable to perform on the treadmill. I doubt we get much detail. If we get accurate height/weight I’ll be surprised. He cannot be healthy....

I included that possibility [treadmill/chemical stress-test] in my post.

A 72 year old man who apparently lives on well done steaks with buckets of ketchup, KFC chicken, Big Macs, double size desserts and up to a dozen diet Cokes a day; a man who does not exercise and apparently does even walk anywhere if a golf cart will traverse the path; and sleeps between 4 and 5 hours a day while becoming reportedly enraged and/or livid several days a week, who apparently is addicted to sex to the point that he's had more ass than a toilet seat is, according to the recent statement from Dr. Ronny Jackson, in excellent health. Do I believe Dr. Ronny Johnson? No, not if he actually stated that Trump is in excellent health.

No, I got the joke. Ronnie was the spelling in the White House email. Ronny gave an official statement on Friday.

Your statement could be read several different ways. Clarify?

I was being facetious. I think that Trump is such a despicable human being, so ignorant of his job, and so intellectually, mentally, and morally unfit for the presidency, that the country would be far better off if his health declined to the point that he had to resign and thus Pence was president.
