False. Even Trump's report contained many areas of concern and recommendations for improvement.

They have to make it sound plausible. They can't just say 'everyting's perfect' because only the stupidest person would believe that when a 71 year old guy is borderline obese, eats fast food and never exercises.

Bill Clinton's health was an ongoing concern throughout his presidency.

I'm sure it was on Fox News. The only thing I remember hearing is that his cholesterol was high. Could be wrong though. Maybe you can find the medical reports that show this ongoing concern.

Reagan was diagnosed with a cancerous polyp while in office.

That was removed and so no threat. I mean if the guy has to have surgery it's kinda hard to hide that. What are they going to say, he's having his tonsils out?

Also, wasn't Reagan declared mentally fit in the exam during his 2nd term? The guy wasn't mentally fit, he needed cue cards to talk to people on the phone.

In terms of "overall health", I just don't see any way that a person who is not in "overall excellent health" could even become President in the first place.

Really.

FDR.

JFK.

Reagan term 2.

Oh, and don't forget Harrison who died a month after taking office.


Anyways the question isn't really about the fact that Trump's got bad lifestyle habits and is overweight - that much is well known.

The question is whether he's got all his faculties. And a single test is not going to tell you that, assuming it would even be reported honestly if the results were indicative of cognitive decline.

Don't forget what prompted Trump to set up this medical in the first place. He wanted to prove he was mentally fit. Now, on the basis of one test that may or may not have been reported honestly, we're meant to believe that he is, despite all the evidence to the contrary.
