Do you trust Dr. Ronny Jackson to be truthful in his details about Trump's doctor visit?

It's not how much that lard ass weighs it is his mental health that concerns me.
 
Muscle has more density than fat. When an average weight person without much muscle mass begin lifting weights and building up their muscles, their body becomes smaller and more compact, but they weigh the same or more. Like this chick:

So someone who looks really fit can be exactly the same weight as someone who looks a bit squishy.

Trump is large. Even with no muscle mass whatsoever, he's well over the number claimed. I really don't know why you're so invested in such a meaningless characteristic.
 
I see no reason to distrust him, why would I? It is not like he is the fool of a doctor who wrote Trumps previous health assessment.
 
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.

Did it ever occur to you that the diet you were told about might not have been totally accurate?

Inaccurate news that the media beats into your brain everyday? Nah. :2razz:
 
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?

Question to Obama-lovers: Did Jackson lie about Obama's medical conditions? What did he leave out?

I’ve asked that a few times. Nobody answers. :)
 
Muscle weighs more than fat.

How are there so many people who don't understand this?

Of all of the stupid things I've heard by people who clearly don't work out, that is probably the most embarrassing. What weighs more Josie, a pound of feathers or a pound of rocks?

I clarified this later. Muscle is more dense than fat. When someone starts lifting heavy weights their body gets smaller but they might still be the same weight or more.

Yeah, but the weight difference isn’t dramatic enough for Trump to be 239lbs.

The fact is not new to anyone. If you look at the equivalents, a liter of muscle weighs 2.3 lbs, a liter of fat, 2 lbs.

It’s clearly not true, and his height also is likely false. The rest? I’d guess it’s true, but I’m not going to be surprised if it turns out not to be.

Is he a psychiatrist who interviewed Trump and studied his mental state and personality tendencies far beyond some basic test of cognitive ability demonstrating he knew the difference between a rhino and a camel or he knew how to tell time?

Yeah. I'd like to hear the qualifier. Probably goes like this. Trump is in excellent health, for a 72 year old man who 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.
 
I do think Trump found a doctor with the same kind of needless hyperbole disease as Trump has.

Stuff like if he had lived healthier over the past 20 years he would have lived to 200. That kind of stupid nonsense. Or that he would be in good health for the remainder of this term and the next one (if elected). That is just nonsense. Medical exams are investigations into the current health situation of someone, not the one in three or seven years time. He cannot predict the future. Who knows he could have a heart attack next week (not hoping that at all, I wish him good health even if I do not like the man in any way shape or form) because that is the nature of the human body.

Last year, weeks after a physical a young Ajax player suffered a cardiac arrest during a practice game. There were no indications of that being possible, he was in good health, exercised and lived healthily, an athlete and a mere 20 years of age but still it happened. You cannot predict cancer, heart troubles, strokes, etc. etc. so to make such sweeping baseless claims about his future health by this doctor is ridiculous.
 
I heard 75” and 239lbs.

Read NY Op permit lists 6’2”

Some of the golf pictures look heavier than 239lbs.

I have no medical degree:lamo

I'm 6'2 and 235. He's fatter than me, for sure.
 
All of Trumps blood panel numbers were located practically midway in the Ref. Range. This is rarely seen in someone his age. Those are not Trumps real teeth. Side by side pictures demonstrate that Trump is not 6'3" and no way is Trump 239#. That a basically sedentary 71 year old overweight male with a horrendous diet and high psychological stress registers such benign overall numbers/results defies the statistics.

And that's why all of us should know how ridiculous this is. Let's be fair: all of us have either been a bmi of 30 or known somebody with a bmi of 30, and trump ain't no 30.7. When I was a 30, I would have had to have gained about 40-50 more pounds to be as fat looking as him.
 
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.

Lots of precedent for president's health problems being covered up. So you got that right!
 
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 is your concern. He runs our country and makes decisions that could be effected by his health.

You should work out, a bmi of 30 when you don't work out is very unhealthy, I'd hate for you to have a heart attack or something.

So why do you think this dr is lying?

Haven't you heard? Exercising robs the body of finite resources.

Trump is the same height and weight of Bryce Wolma, University of Arizona defensive end. Wolma is slim and fit while Trump is obese. I don't believe that Trump is in excellent health.
