Dr. Ronny Jackson, the White House physician to the president, presented his findings on Trump’s health status, including his mental acuity, and the Trump resistance will be disappointed to learn according to the doctor’s assessment, President Donald Trump had a normal score on a cognitive exam and is in excellent health, although he could “benefit from a lower-fat diet and more exercise.”

According to the test, Trump, 71, is about 6 feet, 3 inches tall; weighed in at 239 pounds; had a resting heart rate of 68 and blood pressure of 122 over 74. The doctor said that Trump is seeking to lose 10-15 lbs over the next year through diet and exercise. Amusingly, Trump has “healthy teeth and gums”; no dentures according to the doctor.
More importantly, Trump got perfect score on Montreal Cognitive Assessment, a test of mental functions Jackson says wasn’t needed and given after Trump asked for it to put doubts about his mental abilities to rest.
The president has an “above average exercise capacity” for someone of his age and gender.
“In summary, the president’s overall health is excellent,” Ronny Jackson told reporters. “He continues to enjoy the significant long-term cardiac and overall health benefits that come from a lifetime of abstinence from tobacco and alcohol.”
