Oh Yeah, About Trump's "Excellent" Health
How can a 71-year old who sustains himself on junk food and elaborate cakes and pastries be in excellent health?
Simple answer - he isn't.
Trump's doctor says he's fighting fit. Other doctors say Trump's doctor is full of sh*t.
Dr. Ronny L. Jackson, a rear admiral and the White House physician, said Tuesday in his report on the president’s medical condition that Mr. Trump was in “excellent” cardiac health despite having an LDL cholesterol level of 143, well above the desired level of 100 or less.
Dr. Eric Topol, a cardiologist at the Scripps Research Institute, disputed that rosy assessment. He said on Wednesday that the most alarming fact is that the president’s LDL levels remain above 140 even though he is taking 10 milligrams of Crestor, a powerful drug that is used to lower cholesterol levels to well below 100.
“That’s a really high LDL,” Dr. Topol said, echoing the concerns of other heart experts who reviewed Dr. Jackson’s report. “We’re talking about a 70-plus-year-old man who is obese and doesn’t exercise. Just looking at the lab value, you would raise a big red flag.”
He added: “I would never use the word excellent health. How you could take these indices and say excellent health? That is completely contradicted.”

I really didn't believe any of the report, Mound; especially suspect are the accolades about Trump's cognitive health.
That report is fake news.
A gaffe that pronounced really does impugn the credibility of Dr. Jackson and the reliability of his report. Cholesterol strippers, statins, are only prescribed for patients with heart issues. Trump is not known to have any heart history so the medication must have been given him as a prophylactic, a failed attempt to counteract the effects of his atrocious diet. Even with statins he hit 143. Without them he might have keeled over long ago. More's the pity.
.. what slayed me was the good decorated Rear Admiral doctor himself.. aside from the fruit salad on his dress blues.. he talked like he'd snorted coke 2 minutes earlier. I know media will speed up clips.. that's SOP network habit, but gimme a breathless break Batman ! And one might also wonder why he sees Trump every day.. and thus has a fine reference or benchmark to claim Trump shows no decline.What? He has a meal with him daily? What other reason would a Rear Admiral have to hang with a compulsive daily liar? Blisters on his fingers? Hemeroids from hell? Oh.. those bone spurs.. ...
Another bit of hocum pokem...
Anyong says......The doctor told Trump he had to lose between 5-10 pounds. Trump asked, "which ones".
