(157 posts)Why the heck is it going on so long? So hes overweight and needs to lose weight........big deal. If there was anything wrong with his cognitive abilities, we would never know anyway. I cannot remember any former Presidents health problems being discussed in public anyway. The HIPPA laws would prevent anything being disclosed that Trump did not want released. Please correct me if I am wrong. I dont care what that doctor says........all one needs to do is observe Trump and you know immediately somethings off........but thats not new. Everyone knew it all along and still this is where we are now.

(15,719 posts)Dr. Harold Bornstein's summary included Trump's height (6 feet 3 inches) and weight (236 pounds), cholesterol (HDL 63, LDL 94, triglycerides 61), blood pressure (116/70), blood sugar (99) and normal results from liver, thyroid, heart and colon exams.
Jackson said Trump's resting heart rate was 68 and blood pressure was 122/74.
Damn I wish I had those stats and I am 70 and in great shape

(13,424 posts)I think Dr. Jackson fed the public lies concocted by the admin. He was then ordered to spew those lies. Being a military officer, he followed the orders given to him by his superior.

(50,943 posts)Meaning providing extraneous information. Some just useless chatter and other not proper in my opinion. Example saying he could last two terms. That sounded too much political.

(796 posts)is the hyperbolic wording. it's the same bullshit from Dr Vinnie Boombots in the other "examination. all the "greatest, strongest, goodest genes in the history of any president ever" stuff is pure crap. if i had a doctor that spoke like that, about anyone, i would not be going to him. and 2 Scoops "insisted" on the MOCA test? which he then got a 30/30 on?!!?
hahahahahahahahahahaha

(15,286 posts)That surprises me he could remember the test words after 5 minutes. I've seen these tests administered and sometimes the questioner gives hints for the words to help the person being tested remember what they were. It wouldn't surprise me if that was the case here.
But these tests are generally pretty easy to pass even for people who might have some level of cognative decline.

(1,134 posts)... there is no doubt he has taken poetic license regarding The Orange Buffoon's height/weight! I would loved to have seen a lie detector machine going off scale during that part. First of all, Trump may have been close to 6'3" in his youth, but I've seen him standing right beside Mitt Romney in the last year, and the 6'2" Romney is clearly taller. I'd put him at right around 6'1.5" right now--gravity is a bitch! And 239 pounds is so made up as to be ludicrous! I'm 218 and WAY smaller than Trump, who I'd put at 265. So if he'd agree to lie about those out of Trump's vanity, how can we believe anything else, especially a 100% cognitive score! Like I've said many times, I'd take the NFL Wonderlic test against Trump on national TV and bet my net worth on me!

(2,682 posts)If that is the case, we can assume that his prolific lying is, in fact, deliberate. I think the test did not measure his morals or his character, so, I think I'll stick with the idea that he is a lying sack of shit who seeks to manipulate with his lies.
