Current Events > Donald Trump to undergo medical check amid swirl of allegations over his health.

(+) Yeah! (+)

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/01/07/donald-trump-undergo-medical-check-amid-swirl-allegations-health/

Donald Trump will attempt to end speculation about his mental and physical suitability for the presidency next week by undergoing a formal health check.

The US president is to be examined by the same doctor as his predecessor Barack Obama and a summary of the results will be made public.

The physical test will last around two hours and include blood and urine tests, heart checks and even questions about his sleeping habits and sex life, according to medical experts.

It will be carried out at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on the edge of Washington DC, the countrys largest military hospital, on Friday.

By undergoing his first formal medical check since entering the White House, Mr Trump hopes to put to bed allegations about his mental state that emerged this week.

Important thing to note is that this is the same doctor that checked Obama, so at least we know Trump isn't getting one of his fake doctors to write up a statement for him.

I'm quite curious to see the report.

Oh boy.

That was my 1st thought when I read the topic title, so I'm glad.

I wonder how this is gonna go.

He'll likely just block it when he doesn't like the results anyway.
---

We won't get to see the results.
---

His doctor will say he is the healthiest man in the world. Trump isn't insane, he is sane in a crazy world.
---

Except none of those tests will tell us anything about his mental state. He needs a psych eval.

However those hoping for a tell-all medical reveal may end up disappointed, according to Arthur Caplan, founding head of the Division of Medical Ethics at NYU School of Medicine.

The president has the same right as any citizen in the United States to keep his medical information private, he told The Sunday Telegraph. Theres never been legislation requiring that he does otherwise.

This is a concern. Though it won't look good for him if he hides the results.
---

It might get a little crazy when it comes out he has failed both the physical and mental examinations.
---

Very stable genius!

Read the article. Obama's was very detailed.

Not a chance in hell.

By caving in to random rumors and getting this done publicly, he's already proven to be unfit mentally.

Can you imagine the storm if it actually comes out that everything is ok? People will probably dismiss it by saying he paid off the doctor or something

Yep. HIPAA is a thing.

Any chance he has cronies working there that can flub the numbers in his favor?

You don't need the founding head of the medical ethics division at NYU med school to tell you that.

I'm going to say very unlikely, because of where it's taking place.

It will be carried out at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on the edge of Washington DC, the countrys largest military hospital, on Friday.

Whether they declare him healthy or not either way he loses. He's either mentally impaired and that explains his crazy behavior or he's actually just fine and has done everything of his own accord

Military hospital. Hmm. Good thing we know he has zero actual relation with any soldiers, so I guess you're right.
---

no matter the results they won't be made public and he'll just claim he got the best test results of any president in history of the world so what's the point...

Let me put it this way. Cao Cao from romance of the three kingdoms betrayed everyone who ever worked with him in time. And even with that reputation he was more stable than Trump.

If he does it, it won't look good for him. A lot of people will jump to the conclusion he's hiding something.

It certainly won't improve his 30% approval rating, since his supporters are a minority. And we know deep down he's hurt by it.

"My check up results are being audited by liberal doctors, don't believe their lies. I have the best health and doctors around that can only be found in America and not some backwater European socialist scheme. MAGA."

The only storm that would occur is if it turns out he isn't fit. But sure dude, lol.

Why couldn't he do the same thing with his tax returns?
---

Trump on his tax return;

I don't mind releasing -- I'm under a routine audit. And it'll be released. And -- as soon as the audit's finished, it will be released.

I guess that audit is still going.

Trump might just be delusional enough to think he's perfectly fine. Whereas Trump already knows the kind of dirty stuff people who find out if he released his tax returns. Though it still remains seen if he will release the medical report.

Audits take a long time. Sometimes over four years!

Well with that tax overhaul of course it'll take more time to audit him.

He'll use this as an excuse to resign. We all know he doesn't want the job.

As much as I think Trump doesn't want to the job. His ego won't let him resign.

It amazes me that libs are really pushing this "Trump is a mentally ill moron" narrative. Imagine how stupid it makes them that Trump has still managed to outsmart and outmaneuver them at every turn with those limitations. Literally can't be any more embarrassing than that.
---

I can't wait. Either Trump is fine and he will release the results or he won't release the results for some reason. Either way the left is going to be pissed off and I'm going to enjoy it.

Remember at the 9/11 ceremony in 2016 when Hillary locked up, couldn't stand on her own and had to be quickly carried into a van and taken away? The official statement was that she was just a bit overheated and liberals gobbled it right up. Oh, and any discussion of Hillary having health problems was just treated as a wild conspiracy theory. LMAO.

I mean, Hillary was never a good choice to begin with. Each day just makes it worse for her that she lost to Trump

The doctors ties to Obama invalidate any results of this

The only tie the doctor has to Obama is that he also gave Obama a medical examination. This isn't some personal doctor for Obama.

You think they didn't keep in touch? Obama is one of those smooth talking manipulators, I'm sure they kept in touch.

Why do you think Obama would keep in touch with a military doctor?
---

Just a thought. Obama had that "I have to impress everyone I meet" kinda vibe.
---

So basically you are pulling something out of your ass to try to discredit a medical examination that has yet to happen.
---

I just don't think we can trust it so easily with the doctors ties.
