that his doctors are probably either quacks like the former WH physician and current Congressman Ronny Jackson, who once declared that Himself is 6'3" and 230 lbs. and would live to be 200, or are legit doctors who can't manage him. It appears that Jackson is still "consulting" with the current WH physician (a DO who specializes in emergency and tactical medicine, wtf?) even though he no longer has an active medical license (Jackson was also stripped of his rank of Navy rear admiral and has been credibly accused of handing out prescription drugs, being drunk on the job and sexually harassing female staffers). He just had this to say about Trump's health:

“As President Trump’s former personal physician, former Physician to the President, and White House physician for 14 years across three administrations, I can tell you unequivocally: President Donald J. Trump is the healthiest president this nation has ever seen,” Jackson said in a statement sent via the White House. “I continue to consult with his current physician and medical team at the White House and still spend significant time with the President. He is mentally and physically sharper than ever before.”

A Manchurian Medicine Man? "Donald J. Trump is is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful, and healthiest human being I've ever known in my life!"
