Trump’s Medical/Mental Situation Is…Murky & Confoozled

Tuesday, July 23, 2024

After weeks of intense focus on President Biden's health and age that ended with his withdrawal from the campaign on Sunday, the script has flipped: Former president Donald Trump is now the oldest presidential candidate in history " and one who has been less transparent about his medical condition than his former opponent. Trump, a 78-year-old with a history of heart disease and obesity, according to experts, has not shared any updated bloodwork results or other specific information during this campaign to help experts assess his ongoing medical risks.

Trump has said he twice "aced" cognitive tests, but he has not released them and has not said if he has taken one since 2018. Ziad Nasreddine, the neurologist who created the test, told The Post earlier this year that a six-year-old test would be too outdated to be relevant. He said that a candidate who is Trump's age should take regular cognitive tests and publicly release the results.

Some experts previously told The Post that Trump could face an elevated genetic risk of dementia. Trump has said that his father was "addled with Alzheimer's," which specialists said could increase Trump's chances of inheriting the gene that can cause the disease.

Obfuscation, lying, deception and cover-up iarecthe story when it comes to Trump's myriad physical and mental problems.

Trump has a mixed history of releasing medical information. In 2015, during his first run for the White House, he said he instructed his doctor, Harold Bornstein, to release "a full medical report" and promised "it will show perfection." Bornstein did not release Trump's records, but instead issued a four-paragraph letter that said Trump would be "the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency." Bornstein, who died in 2021, later told CNN that Trump "dictated that whole letter."

Seven years ago a certain North Korean dictator concluded that #45 was a "dotard." How much more cognitive decline has this aspartame-addled chiseller undergone in seven years?

He sends out Dr(?) Ronny Johnson to say he is the best.

I'd trust Dr. Nick before that corrupt pill pusher.

Maybe Kamala should offer to take cognitive tests at a reputable medical establishment with him.

Lets not forget that sh*tler sent his goon thugs to Bornsteins office to steal his medical records after the election.

Don't worry, Fake Dr Ronny Johnson said he gave him the test and he aced it.

Surely Dr Feelgood wouldn't lie for the Tangerine Bag of Dementia.

I mean it's not like he lied about being an Admiral or even being a doctor.

Are you allowed to practice medicine if you let your license lapse? Asking for a fraudulent doctor.

Is Ronny Jackson even licensed to practice medicine anymore?

A smarter party would replace their dementia ridden octogenarian.

Like Democrats have.

That's the problem with a dictator.

You can't do anything until they die.
