Donald Trump is 71, refuses to exercise, is borderline obese, has high cholesterol, and regularly consumes an extremely high-fat diet. However, if you rely on the results of the recent Trump medical exam, “The Donald” is perhaps the healthiest specimen alive. HOGWASH!
Yes, according to Rear Adm. Ronny Jackson, who is the White House doctor, Trump was not only blessed with “good genes” and great “cardiac health,” but he is in “excellent health” and on track to remaining healthy straight through to a second term. Or, in other words, Trump got his doctor to write him a note any US citizen could easily convince their own physician to concoct on their behalf. Again, HOGWASH!
After reading the results of the Trump medical exam, CNN’s Dr. Sanjay Gupta says he believes Trump has heart disease. His professional opinion looked beyond the exam’s official listing that Trump claims he is 6’3 and 239 pounds (which just magically happens to fall 1 pound below him being branded as obese for his height). Ironically, Trump was listed as 6’2 just last year (a height that would actually make him obese for his height), which begs the question: Did a 71-year-old man honestly grow an inch while ever other older person alive is shrinking??
In the world of Donald Trump, EVERYTHING is ALWAYS perfect. NOTHING is ever wrong or amiss. Still, the Trump medical exam left the general public doubting the authenticity of his results. Not only does “The Donald” appear minutes away from being in need of a quadruple bypass, but many believe his cognitive health is questionable. Or, in other words, they think the man is bonkers.
Specifically, a team of doctors from across the country questioned Trump’s mental state based on tale-tell signs they noticed in the following areas:
- Declining complexity of thought, rambling speech, difficulty completing a thought;
- Markedly declining vocabulary over recent years, with over-reliance on superlatives;
- Episodes of slurred speech;
- Failure to recognize old friends;
- Perseveration of thought (perpetual repetition of the same concepts);
- Decreased fine motor coordination;
- Difficulties reading, listening and comprehending;
- Suspect judgment, planning, problem-solving, and impulse control.

So as to not be outdone, how did Trump respond to those questioning the results of the Trump medical exam? He requested that he be given the Montreal Cognitive Assessment test (MoCA), so that he could also be deemed to be in perfect mental health as well.
“We picked one of the ones that was a little bit more involved, it was longer,” Admiral Jackson said. “It was the more difficult one of all of them. It took significantly longer to complete, but the president did exceedingly well on it.”
Yeah, right.
In reality, the 10-minute test could only conclude that Trump is able to recognize a camel, read a string of letters, repeat 3 numbers backward, and draw a clock. Any idiot could pass a simple test like that, and, in fact, any idiot DID!
According to journalist Sharon Begley, who followed Trump closely during the ’80’s and ’90’s: “He spoke articulately, used sophisticated vocabulary, inserted dependent clauses into his sentences without losing his train of thought, and strung together sentences into a polished paragraph.” Now, she calls that a stark contrast to today when “Trump’s vocabulary is simpler. He repeats himself over and over, and lurches from one subject to an unrelated one.”
Medical research suggests that such changes may be indicative of neurodegenerative disease.
Is Donald Trump truly the epitome of physical and mental health that we should all strive to achieve? Or, is it possible that the Trump medical exam is a hotbed of HOGWASH?
