During a Tuesday White House press briefing, Donald Trump’s doctor Ronny Jackson insisted that the president is under “excellent” health.
Dr. Jackson said he had “absolutely no concerns” over Trump’s “cognitive abilities.” He said that “if we [change] the diet and exercise, I just don’t think that he has much room to do anything else.”
Dr. Jackson: "I had absolutely no concerns about his cognitive ability, or his neurological function. So, I was not going to do a cognitive exam…The reason that we did [it] is, plain & simple, @POTUS asked me to do it." pic.twitter.com/2o7O7XHxBv

Dr. Jackson’s claims go against what over 70 mental health professionals say about Trump who shows obvious signs of mental decline.
Twitter users were quick to respond to the doctor’s remarks.
Per the report from the President’s physician, he is sharp as a tack and has his full cognitive abilities.
So he was fully competent and aware of his surroundings last Thursday when he made racist remarks. Got it. Good to know.

President Trump’s doctor says that he is 75 inches tall and weighs 239 pounds. Just one more pound and, at that height and weight, he would be considered obese, according to the CDC. pic.twitter.com/6IiZ4xSIwV

.@colvinj with the deep pull on whether WH dr found evidence of bone spurs in Trump's feet. Doctor says he didn't check for them.

NEW: Doctor Ronny Jackson reports Trump is 30 feet tall, 1200 pounds. He sleeps in a big barn and uses a hay bale for a pillow. Locals call him “Don the Giant” and pay him to uproot troublesome tree stumps with his mighty hands

Too bad nobody asked Dr. Ronny Jackson if a President thinking it’s hilarious to call Senator Richard Durbin “Dicky”’is a clear sign of mental illness.

FUN FACT: The White House doctor lists Trump at 239 lbs, provided you remove 100 lbs. for his clothes.

Doctor now reporting that Trump is 75 inches in height and, because he is made entirely of meringue, weighs only 36 ounces. "Damnedest thing I ever saw," he said. "The boy's all egg."

Boy I would never EVER go to this Doctor. No Doctor talks like this! Most Dr's know their "shit" are "comfortable" with their findings. Sure he knows his talking points, but WHY SO NERVOUS IF TRUMP CHECKED OUT OK???
SWEAR EVERYBODY GETS DESTROYED BY TRUMP…EVERYONE— Free bird (@TearsInHeaven09) January 16, 2018
Doctor insisting that Trump doesn't need psychological testing despite his erratic behavior is followed by a reporter asking if the Fake News Awards are still scheduled, and his press secretary doesn't now.
I mean …

It would seem, according to the WH doctor, Trump isn't suffering from dementia, just ignorance, unchecked narcissism, and deeply-ingrained sense of bigotry.

Either Dr. Jackson was bought off/threatened or he is not qualified to assess Trump's mental health with no baseline. The "good genes" statement kills his credibility.

Trump's physician says his health is "excellent." He's clearly fat, stupid and mentally unstable. This doctor is a quack. pic.twitter.com/aooWK37k9a
