Ronny Jackson out as WH physician




White House physician Ronny Jackson will not return to his role as the president’s personal physician, according to two senior administration officials, after a string of allegations caused the Navy rear admiral to withdraw his nomination last week to lead the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Sean Conley, a Navy officer who took over Jackson’s role as the president’s personal doctor last month, will continue in the role, the officials said.

"Street Doctor" Ronny was telling the truth about tRumputin weighing 239

Yeah, he just forgot to mention that tRumputin would weigh that on the MOON.

He does NOT need speed. He did get a doctor to write an Rx for diet pills (speed) in the 80s and early 90s but as we can see, he isn't exactly svelte these days. He does seem that he has Borderline Personality Disorder and the Xanax could help with that.

As someone who's observed speed freaks (in recovery) for decades, Trump has all the signs. So does Dr Ronny btw. There are plenty of fat people addicted to uppers. Trump claims to have stopped after years and years of taking "diet pills" (that were prescribed for a few months), but his speech, personality & actions indicate to me that he never stopped or had relapsed bigtime by the Escalator Entrance.
Yes he's a sociopath, borderline, self centered, paranoid,lying, hating, grudge driven,grandiose, delusional, insecure, personality. That's pretty much the textbook personality of a practicing speed freak. It takes years of self work for them to not only get off & stay off the junk but also to change their core personality that requires that junk. Trump does not appear to have ever began that process.
So agree to disagree, sorry.
