One thing that’s very apparent about President Donald Trump, even to the casual observer, is that he shows an energy level that’s pretty remarkable for a 78-year-old man. Like him or not, you can’t deny the man is full of get-up-and-go.
Now, the results of his annual presidential physical are in, and those findings are about what we’d expect: A picture of a 78-year-old man in pretty good health. A memorandum released by the White House physician concluded:
SUMMARY: President Trump remains in excellent health, exhibiting robust cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, and general physical function. His active lifestyle continues to contribute significantly to his well-being. President Trump’s days include participation in multiple meetings, public appearances, press availability, and frequent victories in golf events. President Trump exhibits excellent cognitive and physical health and is fully fit to execute the duties of the Commander-in-Chief and Head of State.
The examination includes this tidbit:
Head/Ears/Nose/Throat: Examination of the head, ears, nose and throat revealed no significant abnormalities with the exception of (scarring) on the right ear from a gunshot wound. Hearing was normal.
That gunshot wound contributed to his reelection effort – it was the moment, in fact, when the entire picture changed. That leap to his feet, the raised fist, the shouting of “Fight! Fight! Fight!” As I’ve said ever since, it was the most powerful moment in presidential politics since Ronald Reagan stood in front of the Brandenburg Gate and called on Mikhail Gorbachev to “Tear down this wall!”
Joe couldn’t pass a piss test.
