Trump doctor gives glowing health report on president
Last week, Donald Trump had his annual physical, and it went as Trump had predicted.
That, of course, led to Trump taking a few shots at his predecessor.
The Biden physicals
When Joe Biden took his physicals, it was like pulling teeth to get information about it from the administration.
Biden would not undergo a cognitive exam, and it definitely appeared that the administration was hiding something when reports surfaced later about a specialist visiting the White House.
During Biden’s final physical as president, Dr. Kevin O’Connor announced, "He continues to be fit for duty and fully executes all of his responsibilities without any exemptions or accommodations.”
O’Connor now finds himself amid a scandal, with the tell-all books coming out saying that everyone knew Biden was struggling, so it is assumed that O’Connor was helping cover it up. His presence has now been requested before committee to testify on the matter.
In great health
Trump looks much better this time around than he did in 2016, clearly having made an effort to lose a few pounds and being far more active.
It all paid off, with Navy Capt. Sean P. Barbabella, the physician to the president announcing, "President Trump remains in excellent health, exhibiting robust cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, and general physical function.”
The announcement further stated that Trump had a full workup, which included 14 specialists and "diagnostic and laboratory testing.”
Trump reportedly weighs 224 pounds, far less than his first round at the White House, and has a resting heart rate of 62 beats per minute, which is astounding. His blood pressure is also under control, sitting at 128/74.
Taking a Swipe
Now, it would not be Trump unless he took a swipe at Joe Biden after getting his results, and Trump did not disappoint.
Just before departing for Florida for his usual weekend of golf at Mar-a-Lago, Trump stated, “I wanted to be a little different than Biden. I took a cognitive test."
“I don’t know what to tell you other than I got every answer right.”
When questions were asked about Biden taking a cognitive test, the White House defended him not taking it in every way possible, including former White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre stating that Biden “passes a cognitive test every day,” apparently referring to his presidential duties.
