President Trump was given a physical by Dr. Ronny Jackson last week, and today Jackson made some of the results public. In short, he said that Trump is in excellent health, and as far as the much-talked-about cognitive issues go, Jackson has no concerns.
At most, Jackson said Trump could benefit from a diet.

Dr. Ronny Jackson said he had no intention of performing a cognitive exam during Trump’s physical, but “plain and simple, the president asked me to do it.”
"There's no indication that he has any kind of cognitive issues."

We were going to say there’s no way that narrative is dead, but it might appear that way, as this week’s news cycle is dedicated to Trump’s apparent racism and not his mental fitness. We’re sure it’ll come up again, though.
Presidential physician Ronny Jackson says cognitive test of Trump screens for Alzheimer's and other issues, and Trump got "30 out 30" right so "no indication whatsoever that he has any cognitive issues.. … He's very sharp and articulate when he speaks to me."

He scored 30 out of 30? Maybe he really is a “very stable genius.”
WH DOCTOR: "The fact that the president got 30/30 on that exam – there's no indication whatsoever that he has any cognitive issues. I have no reason whatsoever that the president has any issues with his thought process."

Dr. Jackson on POTUS mental health: "I can reliably say … if he had some type of mental, cognitive issues… he would not have gotten 30/30 on the test." In his personal experience, President Trump "has absolutely no cognitive or mental issues whatsoever."

Mainstream media collectively losing it as WH physician tells them Trump is incredibly healthy & no cognitive issues… Absolutely hilarious listening to their questions. https://t.co/BDgEITG6Ev

Remember the concerns raised when it seemed the president was slurring his words?

In other news, the president doesn’t sleep — he really is up all night tweeting.

Rosie O’Donnell and friends might want to sit down for this next clip:

Dr. Jackson on how the president can eat McDonalds and drink Diet Cokes and still be healthy: "It's called genetics. I don't know. Some people have great genetics. I told the president if he had a healthier diet over the last 20 years he might live to be 200." pic.twitter.com/KjWZZTTMIR

You just know they’re all thinking it …
Now that the doctor has been compromised we must turn to the only one who can save us: The Marshal of the Supreme Court.

And yes, this is the same physician who examined Barack Obama.
