Trump's weight?? The doctor didn't give him the weight in my opinion.

Trump gave the doctor orders on what weight he wanted published. Yes, the doctor would do that. If the weight is an obvious lie, as many say it is, then Trump probably told the doctor what to say. Or Trump approved what weight was to be released, perhaps the doctor wanted to release some other number. That is how Trump works. If the doctor is in the military, guess who the Commander in Chief of the military is? That doctor will hear quite a bit from his fellow doctors. But honesty comes 2nd when your boss gives out orders.
That doctor would have to take some great risks not to follow the boss.

that the doc gave such a blatant lie on the weight, casting doubt on all subsequent health statements. Was the doc trying to tell us something?
