Trump's former doctor gets raided by Trump's former bodyguard. Feels "raped."

Courtesy of NBC News:  

In February 2017, a top White House aide who was Trump's longtime personal bodyguard, along with the top lawyer at the Trump Organization and a third man, showed up at the office of Trump's New York doctor without notice and took all the president's medical records. 

The incident, which Dr. Harold Bornstein described as a "raid," took place two days after Bornstein told a newspaper that he had prescribed a hair growth medicine for the president for years. 

In an exclusive interview in his Park Avenue office, Bornstein told NBC News that he felt "raped, frightened and sad" when Keith Schiller and another "large man" came to his office to collect the president's records on the morning of Feb. 3, 2017. At the time, Schiller, who had long worked as Trump's bodyguard, was serving as director of Oval Office operations at the White House. 

"They must have been here for 25 or 30 minutes. It created a lot of chaos," Bornstein said, who described the incident as frightening.

According to Bornstein Trump cut ties with him after he blabbed to the press about Trump taking Propecia, which is a drug to prevent hair loss.

Too bad he wasn't on a medication to prevent asshole-itis.

According to Dr. Feelgood, the thugs made off with all of Trump's records, lab results, and charts.

Even the ones under his many aliases.

That's right, Trump even uses aliases when he visits his own doctor.

Apparently Bornstein also told the papers that he wanted to be the White House physician, but when Trump heard about it he had his long time assistant call to deliver the bad news:

"So you wanted to be the White House doctor? Forget it, you're out.' " 

Oh these people are ice cold.

Radiologist explains the difference between an AR-15 and a handgun.

Courtesy of The Atlantic:  

As I opened the CT scan last week to read the next case, I was baffled. The history simply read “gunshot wound.” I have been a radiologist in one of the busiest trauma centers in the nation for 13 years, and have diagnosed thousands of handgun injuries to the brain, lung, liver, spleen, bowel, and other vital organs. I thought that I knew all that I needed to know about gunshot wounds, but the specific pattern of injury on my computer screen was one that I had seen only once before. 

In a typical handgun injury that I diagnose almost daily, a bullet leaves a laceration through an organ like the liver. To a radiologist, it appears as a linear, thin, grey bullet track through the organ. There may be bleeding and some bullet fragments. 

I was looking at a CT scan of one of the victims of the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, who had been brought to the trauma center during my call shift. The organ looked like an overripe melon smashed by a sledgehammer, with extensive bleeding. How could a gunshot wound have caused this much damage? 

The reaction in the emergency room was the same. One of the trauma surgeons opened a young victim in the operating room, and found only shreds of the organ that had been hit by a bullet from an AR-15, a semi-automatic rifle which delivers a devastatingly lethal, high-velocity bullet to the victim. There was nothing left to repair, and utterly, devastatingly, nothing that could be done to fix the problem. The injury was fatal.

The doctor goes on to explain that the higher velocity of the Ar-15 bullets allows them to essentially rip through the human body and obliterate internal organs, and even cause enough damage that a victim can bleed out quickly even if no major arteries are damaged. 

In short though both a handgun and an assault rifle are designed to kill human beings, however an AR-15 is designed to ensure the death of its victims even if they receive prompts medical care.

So why in the hell would that weapon be available to individuals NOT entering a war zone?

Last night SNL spent much of the show mocking the Trump presidency.

You know that absolutely NOBODY takes you seriously when even your doctor gets ridiculed on late night TV shows.

During my favorite part of he show, Weekend Update, the mocking continued.

Is there ANYBODY that Kate McKinnon cannot play on television?

This was almost as good as her Jeff Sessions.

Next up, Stormy Daniels.

Yep, we all "got a Stormy" alright. Lucky us.

Trump recently made the comment that he will win reelection because cable news shows, and reporters, will not want to see him leave office, because they make money writing about him.

That of course is bullshit.

However I have to imagine that late night comedy will certainly shed a tear or two when he is dragged kicking and screaming from the Oval Office.

Nah, just kidding. They will probably be applauding right along with the rest of us.

"Guardians of the Galaxy" director offers $100,000 dollars to Trump's favorite charity if he will prove he only weighs 239 pounds.

Courtesy of EW: 

Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn isn’t buying Donald Trump’s annual medical exam. And he’s willing to bet $100,000 that the report wasn’t accurate. 

Gunn tweeted that he would give six figures to Trump’s favorite charity if the president would step on a scale under more transparent circumstances.

Gunn is simply saying what I think the majority of the people recognize.
And that is that the man on the right is definitely NOT six foot three and DEFINITELY does not weigh only 239 pounds.

Which means by the way that we really cannot believe a single thing that the White House doctor, Ronny Johnson, told us yesterday.

We have a story right below this one which insinuates, rather strongly, that Trump paid Marla Maples to claim he was the best lover she had ever had.

So of COURSE he also must be the healthiest president, no matter how much that costs to prove.

Personally I think that if Donald Trump wants to put this all to rest he should take James Gunn up on his offer.

 Besides it could prove lucrative, because let's face it Donald Trump's favorite charity is Donald Trump.

White House physician says that Donald Trump is physically and mentally fit to serve. No seriously, that's what he said. Update!

Courtesy of Politico:  

A White House physician declared on Tuesday that President Donald Trump is in “excellent” overall health and that he performed “well” on a cognitive screening exam, while noting the commander-in-chief could benefit from a low-fat diet and additional exercise. 

“All clinical data indicates that the president is currently very health and that he will remain so for the duration of his presidency,” Dr. Ronny Jackson said at the daily White House press briefing. 

Jackson added that during the physical exam on Friday at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, he performed some cognitive testing and that Trump “did well on it.” He noted the exam was limited to a screening for cognitive impairment and was not part of a larger psychological examination. 

Trump, according to Jackson, is 6-foot-3 and weighs 239 pounds. The doctor said that he and Trump discussed losing weight and exercising, which he recommended, and that the president expressed “he would like to lose 10 to 15 pounds.” 

Currently, Jackson added, Trump “doesn’t have a dedicated, defined exercise program.”

It should be pointed out that 239 pounds at 6-foot-3 is only one pound away from obesity.

That, plus his diet and almost complete lack of exercise. makes it essentially impossible to legitimately claim that Trump is in "excellent overall health."

I watched the report, and Dr. Jackson seemed honest and forthcoming.

And I was with him right up until he claimed that Trump got a perfect score on his cognitive test.
I'm sorry, but I have watched this guy for two years now, and there is DEFINITELY something going on with his attention span, and his ability to reason.

Update: According to this doctor Trump is 6 foot 3. However the listed height for Barack Obama is 6 foot one.

Does Trump look two inches taller than Obama to you?

So do we really believe that Trump's doctor's note about his physical is real?

Courtesy of Share Blue:  

Following Donald Trump’s much awaited medical exam on Friday, the White House released a statement purportedly written by the doctor who administered the exam. The note said the exam went “exceptionally well” and pronounced Trump to be “in excellent health.”

There’s just one problem: As Rachel Maddow pointed out Friday night, it appears that the note was not, in fact, written by White House physician Ronny Jackson.

The statement was signed “Dr. Ronnie Jackson,” so unless the White House doctor suddenly forgot how to spell his own name, it would appear that someone else in the White House released the note and put the doctor’s name on it. 

It should also be noted that most medical doctors sign their name, followed by their degree (for example, “Ronny Jackson, MD, FAAEM“), rather than using their title (“Dr.”).

And then there's this.
You know you would think that a White House that lies as often, and as casually as this one does would be better at this sort of thing.

I would think that there must be a ton of reporters working to get an interview with this doctor right now.

And if they are not they are really falling behind on the job.

"Excellent health" my ass.

So when Trump gets his physical on Friday there will be NO mental health evaluation. Let's file this under "not surprised."

Courtesy of The Daily Mail:  

A White House spokesman said Monday that when President Donald Trump has his annual physical on Friday, a mental health evaluation won't be part of the routine. 

Spokesman Hogan Gidley swatted away the question with a curt 'no' as he briefed reporters aboard Air Force One. 

Trump, 71, will undergo a routine checkup at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center near Washington, D.C. 

Gidley also defended Trump's description of himself as a 'stable genius,' saying the choice of words was a direct response to how reporters misunderstand him. 

'Most of the press calls him unstable and stupid,' deputy press secretary Hogan Gidley said. 

'But the record shows quite a difference, than what the media is trying to portray. He comes back with exactly what he is. He's brilliant, not just in the business world, but as a political tactician, as a president. The accomplishments speak for themselves." 

Yeah, I knew there was no way that Trump would agree to a psych eval. 

And if he did have one they would just lie about the findings.

In fact I am quite convinced that we will not get an accurate report on Trump's health from this physical either. Especially since he himself has to sign off on the release of that information.

You can tell my looking at Trump that he is not healthy, so there is no way that information is going to be accurately revealed to the press.

The culprit behind Hillary Clinton's heat exhaustion is revealed, it was PNEUMONIA.

Courtesy of The Guardian: 

Hillary Clinton has pneumonia and has been advised to rest, the Democratic presidential nominee’s doctor said on Sunday, after Clinton abruptly left the 9/11 memorial ceremony in downtown Manhattan because, her campaign initially said, she “felt overheated”.

“Secretary Clinton has been experiencing a cough related to allergies,” Dr Lisa R Bardack said in a statement. “On Friday, during follow up evaluation of her prolonged cough, she was diagnosed with pneumonia. She was put on antibiotics, and advised to rest and modify her schedule. “While at this morning’s event, she became overheated and dehydrated. I have just examined her and she is now re-hydrated and recovering nicely.

There we go.

Why her campaign let her go out in that heat knowing this about her health, I have no idea. 

After all it would have been MUCH easier to deal with the optics of her not showing up to the 9-11 event then to explain away her damn near passing out from the heat.

Of course this news will do nothing to convince Donald Trump's "basket of deplorables" that she is not dealing with some candidacy ending terminal condition, but let's face it if she were to suddenly start doing back handsprings across the White House lawn they would criticize her technique and claim that she was hopped up on Amphetamines.

And we might as well be prepared to see that video of Hillary stumbling into that SUV over and over again during the next two months, and likely long after that.

So from this point forward Hillary needs to demonstrate health, strength, and endurance during every single appearance she makes until the day she takes the oath of office.

Because we simply cannot allow that racist orange asshole to win this election.
