    The US president's PRIMARY focus should be on the American people - not that of whatever x country. What did Trump expect with 2 of the 3 Republicans working on this deal being Graham and Flake - I probably couldn't think of any senators more RINO than they are. He was popping mad that they included these people from the TEMPORARY Protected Status when they were not part of the 4 areas discussed in their meeting.

    It is a win, because an answer advances the conversation. Human being dig in their heels when presented with things that contradict their worldview. I think acknowledging things that might make one think is a worthwhile cause.

    Dodge, dodge, dodge, smh. As long as the current occupant has the magic "R", that is all you seem to care about, and people like you will make any excuse for him. You are the rot at the center of our country, party over country in all things, right?

    Fine. Wait until the next president, if that will allow you the slim moment of honesty and integrity it takes to answer such a simple question. As I stated before, I don't care what party the president is.

    Should the person capable of launching nuclear strikes be required to be mentally evaluated periodically?
    The are you babbling about? I’ve told you before that I’m not a republican. I am definitely a fiscal conservative though. Your question doesn’t even make sense as there is no chance in it will happen any time soon.

    I agree the presidents primary focus should be on the American people. You and I both know it isn't. It is himself. Period.

    He cares about immigration only so far as he is a racist sack of , and knows that messaging to other racists gives him "wins".

    … [L]ook, all I see of these Democrats, like Adam Schiff —- it’s all he does, he’ll have a meeting, and then he’ll leave, and he’ll call up the meeting, and then I’ll have a meeting and then he’ll leave. He left meetings where people are being interviewed, and then all of a sudden they say a story about what’s going on inside the meetings.

    It’s probably illegal, what he’s doing.

    Trump: Let me, let me tell you something about the wall. So I’ve always said we have to have a wall. I’ve also said Mexico’s got to pay for it — sometimes you know on occasion, I’d add who’s going to pay for it? Mexico. Well they will pay for it, OK? There are many forms of payment. I could name 10 right now. There are many forms of payment, I didn’t say how.

    WSJ: Could you give us an example?

    Trump: They can pay for it through, as an example, they can pay for it indirectly through NAFTA. OK? You know, we make a good deal on NAFTA, say I’m going to take a small percentage of that money and it’s going to go toward the wall. Guess what? Mexico’s paying. Now Mexico may not want to make the NAFTA deal and which is OK, then I’ll terminate NAFTA … which I think would be frankly a positive for our country. I don’t think it’s a positive for Mexico, I don’t think it’s a positive for the world. But it’s a positive for our country because I’d make a much better deal. There is no deal that I can make on NAFTA that’s as good as if I terminate NAFTA and make a new deal.

    Lawrence O’Donnell Says What The Media Won’t By Calling Out Trump Hate Filled And Failing Brain



    O’Donnell discussed in detail Trump’s hate-filled and failing brain.

    “Donald Trump knows nothing about where we all came from.

    And he is a man consumed by hatreds and we can see him consumed by hatreds every day, individual hatreds like his newfound hatred of Steve Bannon as well as group hatreds from mention conditions to muslims and hating countries is second nature to Donald Trump.

    Hating is what he does.

    There are 54 African countries Donald Trump surely cannot name more than 2 of them.

    But he knows what he thinks about all of them.

    Every country in Africa and he said that today.

    It’s not the first time we got a look into this poisoned section of the president’s brain.

    The president’s failing brain.

    I say failing brain because it’s a brain that fails public intelligence tests every single day.

    It may also be failing for medical or other reasons but it fails right before our eyes.

    Every day which is why the lead editorial The New York Times today is, is Mr. Trump nuts?

    The New York Times has never considered such a question about the president of the united States before and

    tonight “The New York Times” has even more reason to raise that issue.

    But none of us, none of us can claim to be surprised by what Donald Trump said today because he said it all before in various ways.”

    Is Mr. Trash Nuts?

    By THE NYTimes EDITORIAL BOARDJAN. 10, 2018

    Is Donald Trump mentally fit to be president of the United States?

    It’s an understandable question, and it’s also beside the point.


    Understandable because Mr. Trump’s behavior in office — impulsive, erratic, dishonest, childish, crude — is so alarming, and so far from what Americans expect in their chief executive, that it cries out for a deeper explanation.


    It’s beside the point not because a president’s mental capacity doesn’t matter, nor because we should blindly accept our leaders’ declarations of their own stability, let alone genius.

    Rather,
    we don’t need a medical degree or a psychiatric diagnosis to tell us what is wrong with Mr. Trump.

    It’s obvious to anyone who listens to him speak, reads his tweets and sees the effects of his behavior — on the presidency, on the nation and its most important ins utions, and on the integrity of the global order.


    Presidents should not, for instance, taunt the leaders of hostile nations with demeaning nicknames and boasts about the size of their “nuclear button.”

    They should not tweet out videos depicting them violently assaulting their political opponents.

    They should not fire the F.B.I. director to derail an investigation into their own campaign’s possible collusion with a foreign government to swing the election.

    And, of course, they shouldn’t have to find themselves talking to reporters to insist that they’re mentally stable.


    This behavior may be evidence of some underlying disorder, or it may not. Who knows?

    Mr. Trump hasn’t undergone a mental-health evaluation, at least not one made public.

    But even if his behavior were diagnosed as an illness, what would that tell us that we don’t already know?

    Plenty of people with mental disorders or disabilities function at high levels of society.

    Conversely, if Mr. Trump were found to have no diagnosable illness, he would be no more fit for the office he holds than he is today.



    The problem lies in trying to locate the essence of Mr. Trump’s unfitness in the unknowable reaches of his mind, as opposed to where we can all openly see it and address it in political terms.

    As the psychiatrist Allen Frances told The Times:

    “You can’t say enough about how incompetent and unqualified he is to be leader of the free world. But that does not make him mentally ill.”
    Unfortunately, a number of psychiatrists, politicians and others who should know betterhave increasingly taken up the Trump-is-crazy line.

    In “The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump,” released last October, more than two dozen contributors, most mental-health professionals, concluded that Mr. Trump presents a grave and immediate danger to the safety of America and the world.

    No argument there, but why do we need to hear it from psychiatrists relying on their professional credentials?

    Dr. Bandy Lee, one of the book’s editors, said the authors are “assessing dangerousness, not making a diagnosis.”

    Anyone with access to newspapers or Mr. Trump’s Twitter feed can do the same.


    The psychiatrists say they have a duty to warn the public about what they see as a serious threat to the nation.

    That’s commendable, but they should consider how their comments will be taken by the vast majority of Americans, particularly in a highly politically polarized time.

    The language of mental health and illness is widely used yet poorly understood, and it comes loaded with unwarranted assumptions and harmful stereotypes.

    There’s a good reason the profession established an ethical guideline in 1973, known as the Goldwater Rule, that prohibits psychiatrists from offering professional judgment on public figures they have not personally examined.


    In the future, it would be a good idea if presidential candidates voluntarily submitted to a mental-health evaluation, just as they often do a physical one — and in that case, psychiatrists would have a critical role to play.

    But you don’t need to put Mr. Trump on a couch now to discover who he is.
    So what’s the right way to deal with Mr. Trump’s evident unfitness?


    Not the 25th Amendment, despite the sudden fashion for it. Ratified in the wake of President John Kennedy’s assassination, the amendment authorizes the temporary removal of a president who is unable to do the job. Its final section, which has never been invoked, was meant to clarify what should happen if the president becomes clearly incapacitated.

    One of the amendment’s drafters, Jay Berman, a former congressional staff member who has said Mr. Trump “appears unhinged,” still doesn’t believe that the amendment applies to his case.


    Even if invoking the amendment were the best approach, consider what would need to happen.

    First, the vice president, plus a majority of Mr. Trump’s cabinet, must declare to Congress that the president cannot do his job.

    If Mr. Trump disagreed, they would have to restate their case. Only then would both houses of Congress get involved, and each would have to agree by a two-thirds vote.

    The chances of any of these steps being taken in today’s political environment are less than zero.


    Impeachment would be a more direct and fitting approach, if Mr. Trump’s actions rise to the level of high crimes or misdemeanors.

    But this path is similarly obstructed by Republicans in Congress, who are behaving less like members of a coequal branch with oversight power than like co-conspirators of a man they know is unfit to govern.


    The best solution is the simplest:

    Vote, and organize others to register and to vote.

    If you believe Donald Trump represents a danger to the country and the world, you can take action to rein in his power.

    In November, you can help elect members of Congress who will fight Mr. Trump’s most dangerous behaviors.

    If that fails, there’s always 2020.

    iow, USA and the world is stuck with y'all's holing asshole for 3 more years

    But Trash isn't the real destroyer. He a horrible distraction.

    It's the Repugs in Congress and in his cabinet of kakistocrats who are proving to be the real destroyers, destruction that will be hard and long to correct, if ever

    The plutocratic, kleptocratic oligarchy, through its Repug s, continues to America into un ability.

    Donald Trump's interview with the Wall Street Journal is absolutely, thoroughly, unbelievably NUTS

    Mr. Trump: I have relationships with people, I think you people are surprised.

    WSJ: Just to be clear, you haven’t spoken to the North Korean leader, I mean when you say a relationship with Korea—

    Mr. Trump: I don’t want to comment on it—I don’t want to comment, I’m not saying I have or I haven’t. But I just don’t—

    WSJ: Some people would see your tweets, which are sometimes combative towards Kim Jong Un...

    Mr. Trump: Sure, you see that a lot with me and then all of a sudden somebody’s my best friend. I could give you 20 examples. You give me 30. I’m a very flexible person.


    Donald Trump and the very bad immigrant

    Mr. Trump: This person on the west side that killed eight people and badly, you heard me say yesterday, badly, badly wounded about 12. I mean people losing arms and legs—nobody even talks about that. But they say killed eight and that’s it. I mean you have people—ones walking around without—missing two legs. And the person was running to stay in shape and now he’s missing two legs. Think of it.

    But this person, who should’ve never been allowed into this country, came in through the lottery. When they interviewed his neighborhood, they say he was horrible. You’d say good morning to him and he’d start cursing at you. They didn’t want him so they sent him through the lottery, you know, congratulations United States.

    Donald Trump and the 10 ways to pay

    Mr. Trump: Let me, let me tell you something about the wall. So I’ve always said we have to have a wall. I’ve also said Mexico’s got to pay for it—sometimes you know on occasion, I’d add who’s going to pay for it? Mexico. Well they will pay for it, OK? There are many forms of payment. I could name 10 right now. There are many forms of payment, I didn’t say how.


    Donald Trump and the “Sarah, will you make that clear, please”

    Mr. Trump: The other thing … so the wall. The wall’s never meant to be 2100 miles long. We have mountains that are far better than a wall, we have violent rivers that nobody goes near, we have areas …. But, you don’t need a wall where you have a natural barrier that’s far greater than any wall you could build, OK? Because somebody said oh, he’s going to make the wall smaller. I’m not going to make it smaller the wall was always going to be a wall where we needed it. And there are some areas that are far greater than any wall we could build. So, maybe some day somebody could make that clear …
    Sarah, will you make that clear please?

    Donald Trump and how you need to see through the wall

    Mr. Trump: If you have a wall this thick and it’s solid concrete from ground to 32 feet high which is a high wall, much higher than people planned. You go 32 feet up and you don’t know who’s over here. You’re here, you’ve got the wall and there’s some other people here.

    WSJ: Yes.

    Mr. Trump: If you don’t know who’s there, you’ve got a problem.

    WSJ: Well, the other day after your meeting when you talked about wanting to see a deal from Congress. In particular, I’m thinking of the tweets from Ann Coulter. You know, a straight – I mean, they want a wall. Do you feel that you have some room to negotiate here with your own base, when it comes to the wall?

    Mr. Trump: I don’t have to because the wall is the same wall I’ve always talked about. I can understand why I have to have see-through.

    WSJ: OK.


    Donald Trump and … no, you really, really need to see through the damn wall

    Mr. Trump: If I’m standing here, I want to be able to see 200 yards out. I want to be able to see, I don’t want to have a piece of concrete that I can’t see.

    WSJ: Yes.

    Mr. Trump: Now on the wall we have cameras and we have highly sophisticated equipment, but the wall – the Border Patrol tells me the other way’s more expensive. It’s not less expensive. We have to have vision through the wall.

    WSJ: But…

    Mr. Trump: This is going to be state of the art wall; this will be state of the art. But, I can fully understand why you’d have to have vision. I’d like to be able to see three or four hundred yards instead of we’re at a wall we have no idea who’s on the other side. Does this make sense or am I just wasting my time?

    Hope Hicks: It’s what you’ve always talked; it’s consistent with what you’ve always said.

    Mr. Trump: No, this is the same. I hope I don’t read tomorrow, Trump is going to make the wall, I always said, we need a wall.


    Donald Trump and the very big deal

    Mr. Trump: And I’m getting a lot of questions like we want to move to Wisconsin, we wanted – like Wisconsin, I have Foxconn coming to Wisconsin; that’s my deal. You know the head of Foxconn, you know he’s a friend of mine. He’s still only moving there because of me. And the governor has been fantastic.

    The governor of Wisconsin has been fantastic in their presentations and everything else. But I’m the one who got them to look at it.

    Donald Trump and the man whose name we never say (but it’s Michael Wolff)

    Mr. Trump: The man with the three hour interview, he spent three hours – the man who said he spent three hours in the Oval Office who I never met once in the White House. OK, you know – despite all these characters that are – that’s something you can talk about, is the libel laws, because we’ve got to increase our libel laws so when people make misstatements, like yourselves, but when people make misstatements somebody has some, you know, recourse.


    Donald Trump and why NBC hates me

    Mr. Trump: Look, nobody gets more false press than I do. Nobody – nobody gets – nobody comes close. In history – in the history of this country nobody’s gotten more false press and you guys all know it.

    WSJ: Why – why do you think that is?

    Mr. Trump: They dislike me, the liberal media dislikes me. I mean I watch people – I was always the best at what I did, I was the – I was, you know, I went to the – I went to the Wharton School of Finance, did well. I went out, I -- I started in Brooklyn, in a Brooklyn office with my father, I became one of the most successful real estate developers, one of the most successful business people. I created maybe the greatest brand.

    I then go into, in addition to that, part time, like five percent a week, I open up a television show. As you know, the Apprentice on many evenings was the number one show on all of television, a tremendous success. It went on for 12 years, a tremendous success. They wanted to sign me for another three years and I said, no, I can’t do that.

    That’s one of the reasons NBC hates me so much. NBC hates me so much they wanted – they were desperate to sign me for – for three more years.


    Donald Trump and the Greatest Statement Ever By Anyone

    Mr. Trump: Just – and so – so I was successful, successful, successful. I was always the best athlete, people don’t know that. But I was successful at everything I ever did and then I run for president, first time -- first time, not three times, not six times. I ran for president first time and lo and behold, I win. And then people say oh, is he a smart person? I’m smarter than all of them put together, but they can’t admit it. They had a bad year.


    Donald Trump says “Steve” many times

    Mr. Trump: I mean I could take you around to the back and I could show you many people, If you don’t – and some of them you wouldn’t know their names so ... Steve was – I always liked Steve, but Steve became very ineffective because he was such a lightning rod. And
    Steve, in the end I fired Steve.

    WSJ: Is that relationship permanently broken between you and Steve?

    Mr. Trump: You never know, you know again, the word – I don’t know what the word permanent means, OK? I never know what the word permanent means. We’ll see what happens, but Steve had nothing to do with my win. Well, certainly very little.

    Donald Trump and the winning of every single poll ever

    Mr. Trump: Don’t forget, I had vanquished 17 governors, senators plus a couple of very smart people, like Ben and Carly and others. I had vanquished them easily – easily. I won every debate based on the polls. You know, they do polls – seven or eight polls. Time Magazine – Time Magazine’s not a fan of mine. Drudge, Time Magazine they have seven polls. I don’t think, I may be wrong – I don’t think you’ll find one poll that I ever lost in any of the 14, 15 debates. Including the presidential debate, you know with her, the three. Steve Bannon, I just wish him well…


    Donald Trump and Adam Schiff’s illegal fare-the well

    Mr. Trump: No, I think -- I just want them to -- look, all I see of these Democrats, like Adam Schiff -- it’s all he does, he’ll have a meeting, and then he’ll leave, and he’ll call up the meeting, and then I’ll have a meeting and then he’ll leave. He left meetings where people are being interviewed, and then all of a sudden they say a story about what’s going on inside the meetings.

    It’s probably illegal, what he’s doing. But the Democrats know it’s a hoax. It’s an excuse for them having lost the election. They know it’s a hoax. And yet, they are milking it to a fare-thee-well and I think the Republicans-- although I will say that over the last month the Republicans have started to get very tough. Because they realize there’s no collusion whatsoever. There’s no collusion.


    Donald Trump and the horrible treason

    Mr. Trump: What went on with the FBI, where a man is tweeting to his lover that if she loses, we’ll essentially go back to the -- we’ll go to the insurance policy, which is -- if they lose, we’ll go to phase 2, and we’ll get this guy out of office.

    I mean, this is the FBI we’re talking about. I think that is -- that is treason. See, that’s treason right there.

    WSJ: Does any of that make you less...

    Mr. Trump: By the way, that’s a treasonous act. What he tweeted to his lover is a treasonous act.


    Donald Trump and lying leaker James Comey

    Mr. Trump: How could there be obstruction on firing Comey? When the man who’s in charge of it wrote a letter that was far stronger than anything I would have written. He was in charge -- Deputy Rosenstein. He wrote a letter that’s far stronger than even what I say.

    And here’s another thing. A friend of mine brought this up the other day. Comey. Comey has proven to be a liar and a leaker. Proven. He tries to act like a choir boy. What he did with Hillary Clinton is outrageous. He saved her life, because all of those charges -- I call it “Comey one, two, and three,” all of those charges and Comey won, she was guilty of. She should have been taken out of the campaign and been on trial.


    Donald Trump and the we’re not done talking about James Comey

    Mr. Trump: When he announced the Hillary Clinton fiasco where she was guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty and then where they did the interview with no tape recorder, with no swearing in, with no this, with no that – you know the story.

    But take a look at all of these people that became critics of my firing, they all wanted him fired. And they wanted him fired until I said, “he’s fired.” But the deputy, Rosenstein, who is in charge, he wrote a letter that was possibly or probably stronger than anything I would have written or did write.


    Donald Trump and hey, did I say we could stop talking about Comey?

    Mr. Trump: The other thing is, everybody wanted Comey fired. And, another thing, and this is just a few, Comey has proven to be a leaker and a liar and, if anything, I should get credit for firing him because it turned out I was right because many things have been found out about Comey that – I mean, I should be given credit for having great insight because many things have been found out about Comey that would never have been found out if I didn’t fire him.


    Donald Trump and the vicious rivers

    Mr. Trump: So – I – I think we have a very good chance of making a deal on DACA, I would like to be able to do it; I think that the people that are Trump supporters agree with me on it. I would never do it without a wall, the wall is the wall and it’s the same wall that we’re always talking about. It’s – you know, wherever we need, we don’t need it where you have mountains; you don’t need it where you have rivers and – you know, vicious rivers.

    Trump's Insane Wall Street Journal Interview Got Lost in Thursday's hole

    “What he tweeted to his lover is a treasonous act

    If the recent performance of our dominant political party, and its ular head, have not given you the deep-down dismals yet, you should get a load of the (three-hour!) interview given by the president*to The Wall Street Journal. Holy buggered Baal, this is like something you hear when you’re trapped in a subway car at midnight. Let us start with the braggadocious part:


    "I created maybe the greatest brand."


    "I was always the best athlete, people don't know that."


    "And then people say oh, is he a smart person? I'm smarter than all of them put together, but they can't admit it."

    1) Coca-Cola? GE? Swedish Fish?


    2) Except for those pesky bone-spurs that kept cropping up at the draft board. Another great career lost to injury.


    3) “I have a great brain. You want to see it? Let me just loosen these lugnuts here.”


    Then, there’s the part where he accuses an FBI agent of treason. I am not kidding.

    And what went on with the FBI, where a man is tweeting to his lover that if [Hillary Clinton] loses, we’ll essentially go back to the — we’ll go to the insurance policy, which is — if they lose, we’ll go to phase 2, and we’ll get this guy out of office. I mean, this is the FBI we’re talking about. I think that is — that is treason. See, that’s treason right there ... By the way, that’s a treasonous act. What he tweeted to his lover is a treasonous act.

    “What he tweeted to his lover is a treasonous act” is the first line of a novel when Allen Drury comes back from the grave.


    Then, there’s the mystery solved of why NBC hates him so much.

    I then go into, in addition to that, part-time, like five percent a week, I open up a television show. As you know, "The Apprentice" on many evenings was the number one show on all of television, a tremendous success. It went on for 12 years, a tremendous success. They wanted to sign me for another three years and I said, no, I can’t do that. That’s one of the reasons NBC hates me so much. NBC hates me so much they wanted — they were desperate to sign me for — for three more years.

    Somebody at NBC is going to for this.


    "AND THEN PEOPLE SAY OH, IS HE A SMART PERSON?
    I'M SMARTER THAN ALL OF THEM PUT TOGETHER,
    BUT THEY CAN'T ADMIT IT."


    Then, he took us through, again, the long, hard and miraculous path he took to get where he is.

    Pro Tip: Buckle up, because he corners at top speed on two wheels here.

    Don’t forget, I had vanquished 17 governors, senators plus a couple of very smart people, like Ben [Carson] and Carly [Fiorina] and others. I had vanquished them easily — easily. I won every debate based on the polls. You know, they do polls — seven or eight polls. Time Magazine — Time Magazine’s not a fan of mine. Drudge, Time Magazine they have seven polls.

    I don’t think, I may be wrong — I don’t think you’ll find one poll that I ever lost in any of the 14, 15 debates. Including the presidential debate, you know with her, the three . . . You’ve been doing it longer, OK? That’s the other thing. I’ve only been doing this for two years, two and a half years, OK? You know, it’s pretty good. When they said Jeb Bush was off his game; Trump killed him in the debate. Jeb was off his game because he hasn’t been governor now. He’s been out of politics for eight years. Oh, really? I’ve been out of politics for — I was never in politics.

    So, sort of interesting, but when I won against the 17 people, you can’t then say that oh, gee, somebody comes in two months after I won, and he gives me new policy, new idea. I can’t change those ideas, those ideas are wedded.

    Dude, you were wedded. Twice. New ideas never stopped you there.

    He also shared some thoughts about James Comey—if, by thoughts, you mean the products of the dying sparks of sputtering synapses.

    Comey. Comey has proven to be a liar and a leaker. Proven. He tries to act like a choir boy. What he did with Hillary Clinton is outrageous. He saved her life, because all of those charges—I call it “Comey one, two, and three,” all of those charges and Comey won, she was guilty of. She should have been taken out of the campaign and been on trial. He didn’t do that. He saved her life.

    But here’s the way you look at Comey. Everybody hated Comey, and Comey—by the way, the FBI, say what you want, go back to look at the day around Hillary—the FBI was in turmoil. Everybody hated Comey. The Democrats wanted him fired. Everybody wanted him out. You look at what Schumer said about him, you look at what everybody said. As soon as I fired him they said, “oh, he’s wonderful—he’s wonderful, how could you do that.”

    It’s true. I was there. HRC fell into the Manchester River and Comey leaped in and pulled her out, revealing his true iden y as Superman.


    Luckily, though, he’s clear on most of the vital issues.

    There’s a lot of—there’s a lot of—there’s a big difference—first of all, there’s a big difference between DACA and Dreamers, OK? Dreamers are different. And I want American kids to be Dreamers also, by the way.

    I want American kids to be Dreamers also. But there’s a big difference between DACA and Dreamers. And a lot of times when I was with certain Democrats they kept using the word dreamer. I said, “Please, use the word DACA.”

    You know it’s a totally different word.

    Yes, and “dolt” and “dumbass” are totally different words, too. Work on it.


    And, finally, I’ll let him write his own ending.

    White House official: Excuse me, I just—we have about two or three minutes left and you’ve got to go to a meeting.
    Mr. Trump: Oh I do?

    …and a great voice cried out from heaven and said, “It is done.”

    Doctors want President Trump's head examined

    President Donald Trump is "in excellent health," White House physician, Dr. Ronny Jackson, said following his physical Friday.

    Jackson received an urgent letter from dozens of doctors and health professionals Thursday urging him to perform basic mental health tests on the President.

    While
    reviews of the past five presidents' physical exams show only a brief mention of mental health and none of the records includes a readout of the mental health tests, this letter points out that mental evaluations are routine during physicals, particularly for patients who are 66 or older. Trump is 71.


    Medicare guidelines suggest patients in this age range should be evaluated for cognitive and neural health function.

    Grassley is a piece of gutless , as chair of Senate judiciary, stood by silently as McC stole a SCOTUS judge from Obama. We get extreme right wing oligarchy stooge Gorsuch for 40+ years.

    Trump's cognitive ability is normal, says White House doctor

    US President Donald Trump has shown no abnormal signs following a cognitive exam and is in excellent health, his White House doctor says.

    "I have no concerns about his cognitive ability or neurological functions," Ronny Jackson said on Tuesday.

    Last week, Mr Trump underwent a three-hour examination in his first medical check-up since becoming US president.

    It comes after the release of a controversial book fuelled speculation about the president's mental health.

    Speaking to reporters during a White House briefing on Tuesday, Dr Jackson said that the president's overall health was "excellent".

    "All data indicates the president is healthy and will remain so for the duration of his presidency," he said.

    "He continues to enjoy the significant long-term cardiac and overall health benefits that come from a lifetime of abstinence from tobacco and alcohol," he added.

    However, Dr Jackson said that Mr Trump, 71, could benefit from a lower-fat diet and more exercise.

    On Friday, the president was examined by military doctors at the Walter Reed Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, in tests that were said to have gone "exceptionally well".

    Among them was Dr Jackson, whose official le is Physician to the President.

    A rear admiral in the US Navy, he also tended to Mr Trump's predecessor, Barack Obama.

    To check for possible cognitive dysfunction, the US Department of Veterans Affairs uses the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) neuropsychological test.

    The MoCA test assesses an individual's attention and concentration, memory, language, conceptual thinking, calculations, and orientation - among other functions.

    According to Michael Wolff, author of Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House, all of the president's White House aides see him as a "child" who needs "immediate gratification".

    Mr Trump responded by saying Wolff's book was "full of lies", while Secretary of State Rex Tillerson dismissed suggestions the president's mental health was failing.

    In December 2015, Mr Trump's own long-time doctor, Harold Bornstein, declared in a pre-election assessment that his client would be the "healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency".

    At 6' 2", 195 lbs. is overweight. That sounds very low to me. Parker is 6' 2" and 185 lbs. and he's a professional basketball player - not a sedentary 71 year old.
