Cheney's cardiologist says WH is "hiding something" re: Trump physical exam

https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-physical-exam-white-house-health-1328852?utm_source=newsweek&utm_medium=push_notification&utm_campaign=onesignal

"Four days on from President Donald Trump completing a four-hour physical exam, the White House has yet to release details about the results of the tests. The absence of information beyond an initial short memo has prompted the longtime cardiologist of former Vice President Dick Cheney to suggest that the White House is “hiding” something.

“It’s been 4 days since the president underwent his annual physical exam and still no data has been released. What are they hiding?” Dr. Jonathan Reiner wrote on Twitter Tuesday.

.....
Reiner is the director of the cardiac catheterization laboratory at the George Washington University Hospital and professor of medicine at the George Washington University in Washington, D.C. In 2013, he penned a book with Cheney, titled Heart: An American Medical Odyssey, detailing the Republican’s battle with heart disease. Cheney served as vice president to George W. Bush for two terms, between 2001 and 2009.

Immediately after Trump’s annual exam at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, the physician to the president, Sean Conley, wrote a memo hailing Trump’s health." (more)

he's not in the best of health.

Hell, listen to him wheeze and snort during his speeches. I'm a layman, but I suspect he has at least some congestive heart disease.

We can't even get tax returns out of this guy, much less the details of his personal state of health. Public servant, indeed!

Mourning with firecrackers, whiskey, orgies in the street, parades, wine, tickertape, beer. It would be awful.

Personally, I think the conspiracy theories would be much worse. I am living for the day when I can wake up in the morning and finally read his obituary.

doesn't do anything but exercise his pie hole. He has health and mental issues. We know better.


All I can remember is how President Obama flew down the stairs of Airforce 1. He was fit.

I think his veins run brown with the luscious fat of Kentucky Fried Chicken gravy. I suppose all that cholesterol is what is clogging up his brain.
