White House breaks from precedent by not releasing Trump's medical report

[demmiblue]

The White House has yet to release any results from President Donald Trump’s most recent physical exam, a break from its own past practice that’s likely to fuel further questions about his health and fitness.

Trump, who is the oldest president to be inaugurated, declared on social media that he was in perfect health following an hourslong visit on Tuesday to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.

But despite promising to provide a summary of the checkup in “the next day or so,” the White House has since offered no additional information — nor has it confirmed that Trump’s physician plans at any point to offer a public readout.

The three-day silence marks a departure from the White House’s handling of Trump’s prior physical exams. After a visit to Walter Reed last April, personal physician Dr. Sean Barbabella summarized the results in a memo released two days later. When Trump returned for another exam in October, Barbabella’s declaration that he remained in “exceptional health” was published later the same day.

he's hiding his failing health. The gates of hell awaits.

2. If there were not issues, the report would have been released.

3. Must be bad.

They can't even figure out a way to lie about it.

4. think about how bad it must be....

if they made the decision to take all the 'heat' for not releasing it, versus public release.

Of course, releasing the report would also beg the question for whether he truly (like at a legal level) is mentally incompetent and, should he be flirting with that line (and I feel he is), then who is participating in the cover up (fraud).

estimate when he will take his dirt nap.

8. Why don't they just announce that

there are problems. If the news were good he’d be blasting it to the world.
