Ever since Dr. Ronny Jackson got up to give the results of President Trump’s physical at a pretty open press conference, the media has been busy trying to tear it into teeny little pieces to find some big gotcha in there.
There has been note that the president does have cholesterol issues and that his diet is less than ideal. So, he’s over 70 and has cholesterol issues. Are we supposed to be shocked? The media have tried to spin this into “heart disease,” but even Dr. Jackson was not calling it the way the media wanted.
Dr. Jackson on how the president can eat McDonalds and drink Diet Cokes and still be healthy: "It's called genetics. I don't know. Some people have great genetics. I told the president if he had a healthier diet over the last 20 years he might live to be 200." pic.twitter.com/KjWZZTTMIR

And the continued “cognitive issues” narrative was smashed as well.

So, what’s left. “Girtherism,” that’s what. Welcome to all the conspiracy theories that Trump is heavier than the reported 239 pounds.
6'3" and 239 pounds
These athletes are the same size as Donald Trump https://t.co/PesLGhSfIn pic.twitter.com/88jn8LBN6V

All of them have about the same height and weight, per the White House health report.
Let me know when you've stopped laughing.

Oh, boy. Someone slept through human anatomy class.
This guy and everyone replying to his thread have no idea that muscle and fat do not have the same mass-to-weight ratio.
I don't know what the president weighs, but this is incredibly stupid. https://t.co/nF143DldDD

I don't see what a comparison to professional athletes who have 40-50 pounds more muscle mass than Trump is supposed to prove. https://t.co/mDKakmYqDu

And did you know that Dr. Jackson is apparently complicit in concealing Trump’s weight? So says…. Morning Joe and his crack team!

Here’s the video:
So, the doctor is a “political hack.” Except…

And the above tweet was from two days ago! You know who else says Dr. Jackson is great? Former Obama staffers.
I knew Dr. Ronny Jackson in the White House. In my experience, he was very good guy and straight shooter.

Agree 100%. Ronny Jackson is rock solid. And decent to his core. https://t.co/d4gDKhXvsL

Dr. Jackson is a phenomenal doctor and a really great guy. He and his team took great care of all of us for many years

And former Bush 43 press secretary Dana Perino.
My fave Dr Ronny Jackson story was he took pity on a former staffer & wrote a note to get him out of ranchwork in Crawford. 43 didn’t buy it

Dr. Jackson has an apparently sterling reputation on both sides of the political aisle, but the second he didn’t condemn Trump as senile and obese, the media decided he was actively involved in a conspiracy to conceal Trump’s true medical condition from the public.
New diet plan: Get weighed by Dr. Ronny Jackson.

A reminder: Dr. Ronny Jackson is under an oath not to lie to his patient and to keep all medical information confidential unless released. He's not under any oath to refrain from lying to the entire country about Donald's actual health or mental acuity. https://t.co/aEfMxIDBrV

Today we learned that Dr. Ronny Jackson is willing (or forced) to lie about @realDonaldTrump being healthy and the Homeland Security Sec can’t remember her own name and is perfectly fine with lying under oath. Bannon has to be subpoenaed. This is what we’re stuck with folks.

Hey, Girthers, when you lose Shaun King….
Again, if you're questioning the medical integrity of Dr. Ronny Jackson, you are delusional.
I implore you to not allow your disdain for Trump cloud your ability to think clearly. Jackson is a reputable doctor. Well-respected.
You can be physically healthy AND morally bankrupt.
— Shaun King (@ShaunKing) January 16, 2018
… never mind. It doesn’t matter to them.
the Doctor was obviously bought off He sold that integrity, it's very clear in the delivery of his responses Time for his apologists to adjust instead of using Whataboutisms
— Quentin Cruz (@SportsSpecialEd) January 17, 2018
There's no way Trump weighs 239. Jackson is military, he will do as he is ordered. Ignoring that is what's delusional.
— RacingStableGenius (@Ominabeshi) January 16, 2018
Dr. Ronny said Trump is 6'3" and 239 lbs. Anyone just looking at Trump can tell that is patently untrue. If the M.D. is willing to lie about something that is so obvious then I discount everything else he says.

Everyone is a doctor on Twitter, don’t you know.
When the masses and the media are so heavily invested in keeping this a conspiracy, even in light of people they supposedly believe on multiple other issues (especially regarding Obama) coming to the doctor’s defense as a medical professional, the only diagnosis left is Trump Derangement Syndrome.
do not have the same mass-to-weight ratio
*SMDH*
Noooooo. Fat and weight have EXACTLY the same mass-to-weight ratio. Where they differ is in their density, which is a ratio of their volume to their mass or weight.
(“mass” and “weight” are essentially the same thing, except one – weight – is relative to gravity, while the other is a measure independent of gravity. Your mass is identical on the moon or on the earth. Your weight on the moon would be 1/6th what it is on earth. Some confusion arises because we commonly use mass terms for weight – like kilograms.)
It’s terribly dangerous to angrily hit the TRANSMIT button when yelling at someone “You don’t know science!”
Having said all that, the questions … no the downright insistence that the man who is much smarter than anyone else in that room must just be wrong, because of their preconceived ideas is, well, hyshersterical.
