Coming to a confirmation hearing near you:

Dem Senator: Dr. Jackson, are you aware that you are under oath?

Jackson: Yes.

Dem Senator: Good. Now, how did Trump really do on his mental health evaluation?




Washington – Ronny Jackson passed his screen test with President Donald Trump before casting even began.

Jackson, the president’s personal physician and surprise choice to lead the massive Department of Veterans Affairs, stood before the White House press corps in January to announce the results of the president’s first physical in a performance that showed he was quick-witted, hard to throw off-kilter and unfailingly complimentary of Trump.

Marveling at the 71-year-old president’s good health, Jackson opined, “It’s just the way God made him.”

WH official says Dr. Ronny Jackson’s performance at the White House briefing where he praised the president’s health played a part in Trump’s decision to hire him for the VA job. Trump liked the way Jackson handled himself with reporters.
