Trump strikes me as the type of person who would lie to his doctor

to "pass" a medical exam.

He wants to be presented as perfect. But nobody at 78, male or female, is free of medical issues. So he will tell us nothing, but we know something isn't right.

to lie to us, which has already happened several times - first there was Dr. Harold Bornstein, then Dr. Ronnie Jackson. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-doc-says-trump-bodyguard-lawyer-raided-his-office-took-n870351

Doctor: "The scale says you weigh 290 pounds."
Trump: "The scale is wrong. I weigh 220 pounds."
Doctor: "I've measured you as 5'11 tall."
Trump: "That's wrong, too. I'm 6'10," taller even than Barron, and also Jim Comey."
Doctor: "You have a hemorrhoid and your prostate is enlarged."
Trump: "Fake news. My asshole is perfect and everything is just fine down there."

Scales don't lie, blood tests don't lie, a thorough physical exam, which includes a cognitive test doesn't lie.

But, the doctor will either be forced to lie or will gladly lie for Trump!

I'm sure that somewhere the BS line of "NATIONAL SECURITY", play a major part with the lies that Trump and that lying slag of a press secretary, are going to tell!!!

The Dr will lie for him, or else

The one private Doc did, but he had a tell

Trump told him to say all he test results were
‘positive’, so he said that

Normal test results are negative

I would love to see a doctor testify about this report under oath. This report was done by trump and not by a doctor.

There is no way that trump is 6 foot three and only weights 224 pound





According to one prior physical trump was 244
https://apnews.com/doctors-kept-close-eye-on-trumps-use-of-malaria-drug-0d70f7339bd492556d5b15adc7a001d4
Trump’s weight came in a 244 pounds. That gives him a Body Mass Index of 30.5, based on his 6-foot, 3-inch frame. An index rating of 30 is the level at which doctors consider someone to be obese. About 40 percent of Americans are obese.

There are other reports of trump weighing more



No medical report would discuss trump's golf game





The claimed damage to trump's ear due to the stunt a while back seems not to hold up. A real doctor would know how to spell "scarring" correctly


Can we please talk about the "scaring" on Donald Trump's ear according to his doctor's report from his annual physical?

1) It's "scarring," not "scaring." Are we sure a doctor wrote this?

2) I've never seen a picture of a scar. Not one.

No one has seen this scarring and there are reports that that there was no injury



A CT scan in 2018 found he had coronary artery disease. and this report does not mention





This medical "report" was written by trump and is a work of fiction
