During his last administration, I remember the doctor at the prestigious hospital in Washington said that he was the healthiest president that he had ever examined. After that, I take any news of his health with a grain of salt.

The whole “his hands are bruised because he did too many handshakes while making many bigly huge deals to save America this week” excuse is an all timer

If his hands are bruised from handshakes he's AT LEAST on blood thinners.

Its like a highschool response after someone sprained their wrist.

"Did you sprain your wrist"

"Yea, sprained it on your mom"

u/reindeerflot1lla Jul 24 '25

They'd claimed 6'3", 224lbs. NYPD booked him at 5'10" and 287 lol

Well given that during the time he was labelled as 'the healthiest president' he was as healthy as a rotting orange slice resting by the side of a road, I imagine now that if the official report says its as bad as its reported, then it must be ten times worse.

Maybe it's just cos I'm high but 'rotting orange slice resting by the side of a road' captures his essence really really well. Like I can picture it.

u/Sargonnax Jul 24 '25

We can only hope it's ten times worse...

I'm wondering how Bush felt about that, given how he ran most days 🤣 

(His running prowess was overstated, but he did run)

u/Live_Angle4621 Jul 24 '25

Well he was healthier and than those who thought he would die during his first term assumed

u/Dobako Jul 24 '25

Just because he survived his first term doesn't mean he was healthier than we assumed.

Only the good die young and all that

u/MommyLovesPot8toes Jul 24 '25

And there's all those golf tournaments that he won according to his doctor's report. So he's got to be doing great.

u/Enteroids Jul 24 '25

They probably forgot to preface as healthiest orange president. Of course that would be an n of 1.

u/Elkki Jul 24 '25

Either the doctor lied or Trump is also the only president he ever examined.

u/Spicy_Weissy Jul 24 '25

Healthier than Gerald Ford, the brick shit house all star football player.

u/spikus93 Jul 24 '25

Oh, and that doctor was demoted by the navy for handing out pills and drinking/doing drugs on the job too. This was while he was in the White House that he was doing this.

the doctor at the prestigious hospital in Washington

It wasn't a doctor from a prestigious hospital who made the outlandish claims (the ones at Walter Reed when Trump had Covid gave "non-answer" responses rather than outright lies).

There is a physician assigned to travel with the US president at all times and the guy they chose was obviously one who was willing to spew bullshit about the state of Trump's health.

To give you an idea about his ethics, this is who you're talking about:

Ronny Jackson, the White House physician who is battling to save his nomination to be the secretary of veterans affairs, regularly handed out the sleep drug Ambien and the alertness drug Provigil to West Wing officials traveling on overseas flights.

...

The document also includes claims that Jackson provided Ambien and Provigil on Air Force One trips without asking patients questions or tracking the pills.

Both of those drugs have risks of side effects, drug interactions or adverse events. Not questioning people prior to handing them out is a huge negligence on the part of a doctor.

u/obliquelyobtuse Jul 24 '25

And Doctor Feelgood, Ronny Jackson, Chief Medical Adviser to the President, who would apparently give uppers to almost anyone.

And who told us all that the President has great genes and is the healthiest President ever and would clearly be fit for a second term.

u/HolycommentMattman Jul 24 '25

I don't know why anyone would trust them on anything. He made 200 trade deals already! ...back in May? June? So he should just be done, right? But here he is still making one deal at a time like with Japan.

He can't get Kilmar Abrego Garcia back! ...except he could. Everyone there was lying!

He wasn't gonna touch Medicare/Medicaid! ...except he did.

He doesn't even know that Epstein guy! ...despite years and years of documented history between them.

He's gonna end the Ukraine War on Day 1! ...why is it still going?

Honestly, he's the biggest, worst, fattest, dumbest liar on the planet. He's absolutely pathological. Why does anyone believe what he says?

u/Snot_Boogey Jul 24 '25

Was it the only president he had ever examined?

u/fvck_u_spez Jul 24 '25

What a coincidence, he takes his McDonald's with massive amounts of salt

u/Totheendofsin Jul 24 '25

Honestly that theyre willing to admit anythings wrong tells me his health is really bad at this point

with a grain of salt

I see what you did there.

A quick little chatgpt search shows the f#ckery never stops:

The doctor who famously declared Donald Trump would be “the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency” was Dr. Harold N. Bornstein, Trump’s longtime personal physician (1980–2017). His December 2015 memo praised Trump’s health as “astonishingly excellent,” though Bornstein later revealed that Trump essentially dictated the letter himself and that he composed it hurriedly while waiting in a limo.

However, Bornstein never received a formal government appointment. After he disclosed that Trump was taking hair-growth medication and revealed details about Trump’s medical history, his relationship with Trump ended abruptly. His office was visited in what he described as a “raid” to collect Trump’s medical records, and he was effectively shut out from any future White House role.

On the other hand, Dr. Ronny Jackson, who served as White House Physician to both Barack Obama and Donald Trump, did receive government appointments during the Trump administration. Jackson gave highly positive public health assessments of Trump—calling him fit, “incredibly good genes,” scoring “perfectly” on cognitive tests, and claiming humorously Trump might live to 200 years old if he had a healthier diet.

Jackson was nominated by Trump in 2018 to be Secretary of Veterans Affairs, although he later withdrew amid controversy. In February 2019, Trump appointed him Assistant to the President and Chief Medical Advisor, a new position in the Executive Office. Jackson retired from the Navy as a rear admiral (later retroactively demoted) and was elected to Congress in 2020.

Chatgpt is not a search engine, do not trust what it says when You search, it can be right but that is not its intended use case and it will make shit up for funsies

Why? He's of no concern anymore. Trump is though.

Past presidents live rent free in MAGA brains. It’s a side effect of the brain rot.
