I'm not going to dignify your idiocy by giving you facts that you'll likely ignore anyway. Just know that this very first statement you're making is categorically false, and shamefully uninformed.
and so has a vested career interest in saying things that put him in the best possible light.
False again. He is a medical professional bound by ethical standards and oaths. he has a vested career interest in being honest and truthful. the guy has been WH doctor for three different presidents from two different parties. There's no reason to think he won't be the Dr for the next president, who may or may not align with Trump. If the next POTUS doesn't align with Trump, what happens to the Dr's career if there is any suspicion that the Dr is partisan??
Right from that, we can assume anything he says is best taken with a huge grain of salt.
This cynicism can't be real. You absolutely must be trolling.
Second, he calls a man who eats fast food, doesn't exercise, has high cholesterol and is one pound short of obese "in excellent health."
Yup. Do you know alot of 71 year olds in better health than Trump? He's clearly in a high percentile.
Third, he claims that had Trump eaten properly and exercised he could have lived to 200 years. When you say something this absurd you raise doubts about your credibility as a serious doctor.
He said "might have", and was clearly speaking hyperbolicly as a means to emphasize his findings of "overall excellent health". That's what hyperbole is. It's an exaggerated statement used to make a point. It's a perfectly valid literary device, which I'm sure is lost on a math nerd like yourself. If you're taking "200 years" literally, and using it to impugn the doctor's integrity, you're just being childish.
Fourth, he claims to know that Trump is not only fit to be president, but will remain so for 'years to come'. So, apparently he got his degree from Nostradamus U.
Physicians screen for signs of oncoming disease. In the absence of those signs, it's reasonable to assume that no disease is oncoming.
Fifth, he claims on the basis of a single two-minute cognitive test that Trump did 'exceedingly well' in that category
.
yet another factual inaccuracy used to color an opinion you prefer to hold. The test takes a full ten minutes. I'll let you go back and look up the details to correct the record here. It's called the Montreal Cognitive Test
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2018...test-would-do/
The cognitive test on which Donald Trump received a perfect score is considered a good screening tool for mental decline in an otherwise healthy person, medical experts said.
Sixth, he basically brushed off all questions about Trump's mental problems
He talked for an hour and answered every single question.
rambling nonsense interviews and other clear mental fails (such as losing his way to the limo parked right in front of him or wandering off at meetings) with some anecdotes about how sharp Trump appears to him.
you've never forgotten where you parked? you've never brain-farted and done something uncharacteristically dumb?? I'll bet if you spent your entire life in the public eye, I could string together a pretty good highlight reel of your mental fails that makes you look like a fucking retard. But if I did that while simultaneously ignoring a lifetime of work that reflects an incredible acumen....I'd be a fucking retard.
So his so-called "professional" opinion based on one short test and his own eyes is that Trump is sharp as a tack.
The entire medical community agrees that the test is sound. What qualifies you to challenge its findings?
