White House doctor says `no indication´ Trump has any cognitive issues
(The Star Movies)
 


WASHINGTON—U.S. President Donald Trump’s overall health “is excellent” and he did “exceedingly well” on cognitive screening.That’s according to his White House physician, Navy doctor Ronny Jackson.Jackson was providing a more detailed readout Tuesday following Trump’s first physical last Friday at the Walter Reed military hospital.Jackson reported that the six-foot-three president weighed in at 239 pounds — three pounds heavier than he was in September 2016.Trump’s blood pressure was 122 over 74, and his total cholesterol was 223, which is higher than recommended.Trump was 70 when he took office, making him the oldest person ever elected to the nation’s highest office.Jackson said Trump is healthy and should remain so for the remainder of his presidency.He also said the president achieved a perfect score on the cognitive test, which was included in last Friday’s medical checkup.Jackson says Trump’s 30 out of 30 score means there’s no indication that Trump has any cognitive issues.The doctor speculates that Trump requested the exam in an attempt to beat back the narrative of the past few weeks that he is mentally unfit for office.Jackson described Trump as “very sharp” and “very articulate when he speaks to me.”The doctor said he’s found “no reason whatsoever” to think the president has any issues with his thought process.Questions about Trump’s mental fitness have been raised following comments attributed to some of his close advisers in a new book, and his recent slurring of words on national TV.Presidents aren’t required to get a checkup, but modern presidents do so regularly and release a doctor’s report on the findings.Read more:Donald Trump ‘in excellent health’ doctor says after president’s first physicalHow a man’s first tweet, about Obama’s respect, proved more popular than TrumpR ...
