It’s entirely possible that no one in the media is more disappointed by Donald Trump’s clean bill of health than CNN’s Brian Stelter. So he’s doing his damnedest to keep his precious narrative alive:

Heh.
Here's how the next few hours will go. Media will say, "How can we really be certain this doctor is telling the truth?" The obvious response: "Shut the fuck up." https://t.co/AdIiPpYXRF
