DONALD TRUMP HAD HIS FITNESS QUESTIONED, BOTH PHYSICAL --
THAT'S MUCH LESS IMPORTANT -- AND MENTAL, SO HE DECIDED HE
WOULD DO A MEDICAL EXAM.
THIS IS NOT HIS OLD DOCTOR, HAROLD
BORNSTEIN, WHO IS A BIT OF A CHARACTER AS YOU HAVE SEEN IN
THE PAST, WHO GAVE TRUMP THE NOTE, OR TRUMP MIGHT HAVE GIVEN
HIM A NOTE TO SIGN, SAYING THAT TRUMP IS IN EXCELLENT PHYSICAL
SHAPE, HE'S THE GREATEST PHYSICAL SPECIMEN THAT WILL
NEVER TAKE THE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENCY.
HE DIDN'T DO A
MEDICAL EXAM ON GEORGE WASHINGTON OR ANDREW JACKSON,
HOW WOULD HE KNOW?
SO THAT GUY IS A GOOFBALL, I DON'T TRUST
WHAT HE SAYS AT ALL.
BUT IN THIS CASE HE WAS ASKING THE WHITE
HOUSE DOCTOR, DR.
RONNY JACKSON.
DR.
JACKSON IS NOT
ATTACHED TO THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN OR HIS TEAM, HE WAS ALSO THE
SAME DOCTOR THAT DID THE PHYSICAL OF BARACK OBAMA, SO
TRUMP COMES UP TO HIM AND SAYS, GO AHEAD AND TEST ME.
AND DOCTOR
JACKSON SAYS, ARE YOU SURE?
THIS HAPPENED LAST WEEKEND.
HE IS
LIKE, I'M SURE, LET'S GO.
WE WILL TEST BOTH MY PHYSICAL AND
MENTAL ACUITY.
HE'S LIKE, ALL RIGHT, BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH
FOR.
SO THEY GO TO TEST HIM, LET'S LOOK AT HIS VITALS.
HE'S
6'3", THAT'S WHAT HE USED TO SAY, WE THOUGHT MAYBE HE WAS
INFLATING IT, BUT OKAY, THAT'S THE LEAST CONTROVERSIAL PART.
239 POUNDS, I'M SURPRISED BY THAT.
HE LOOKS A LOT MORE THAN
239, BUT APPARENTLY 239 IT IS.
OKAY, BLESS HIS HEART.
HOW IS HE
DOING ON OTHER VITALS?
WELL --
>>THAT'S REALLY, REALLY GOOD, ESPECIALLY FOR A GUY HIS AGE AND
FOR WHAT HE EATS.
IT'S, LIKE -- IF THIS WAS NOT AN ACTUAL DOCTOR
THAT WE KNOW FROM THE PAST THAT HAS SERVED AT THE WHITE HOUSE
UNDER OTHER ADMINISTRATIONS, THERE'S NO WAY I WOULD BELIEVE
IT KNOWING TRUMP'S RECORD, BUT APPARENTLY IT'S TRUE.
AND DR.
RONNY JACKSON SAYS HE IS IN, QUOTE, EXCELLENT HEALTH.
COLOR
ME SURPRISED.
IT IS WHAT IT IS, THOUGH, YOU SEE WE DON'T CHANGE
OUR OPINIONS BASED ON WHAT WE WANT TO HAPPEN, IT IS WHAT IT
IS.
AND BY THE WAY, I DON'T BEGRUDGE HIM THAT HE'S IN GOOD
PHYSICAL SHAPE, BLESS HIS HEART, THAT'S NOT AN ISSUE AT ALL.
IN
FACT, DR.
RONNY JACKSON HAD SOMETHING FUNNY TO SAY, BECAUSE
THE REPORTERS WERE AS INCREDULOUS AS I WAS WHEN THEY
HEARD THE STORY.
WE WILL GET TO MENTAL FITNESS IN A SECOND BUT
ONE LAST THING ABOUT PHYSICAL FITNESS.
>>EXPLAINED TO ME HOW A GUY WHO EATS MCDONALD'S AND KENTUCKY
FRIED CHICKEN AND ALMOST DIET COKES AND NEVER EXERCISES
HIS IN AS GOOD A SHAPE AS YOU SAY HE'S IN.
>>IT'S CALLED GENETICS, I DON'T KNOW.
SOME PEOPLE HAVE GREAT
GENES.
I TOLD THE PRESIDENT THAT IF HE HAD A HEALTHIER DIET OVER
THE LAST 20 YEARS HE MIGHT LIVE TO BE 200, I DON'T KNOW.
HE HAS
INCREDIBLE GENES, I JUST ASSUME.
>>BY THE WAY, TRUMP IS PROBABLY BESIDE HIMSELF WITH JOY ON THAT.
FIRST OF ALL, GOOD, HE'S HEALTHY SO HE SHOULD BE HAPPY ABOUT
THAT.
SECOND OF ALL, WHEN HE TALKED ABOUT HIS GOOD GENES, OH
YEAH.
DURING THE CAMPAIGN I READ ALL INTO TRUMP'S HISTORY AND ALL
HIS LIFE HE'S BEEN TALKING ABOUT HOW GREAT HIS GENES ARE BECAUSE
OF WHERE HE COMES FROM.
BUT OKAY, IN THE CASE OF PHYSICAL
FITNESS THAT IS TRUE.
NOW, MENTAL FITNESS?
THIS OUGHTTA BE
INTERESTING.
SO THEY AREN'T GOING TO TEST HIM ON
INTELLIGENCE WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN AWESOME, BUT THERE'S NO
DOCTOR WHO IS GOING TO TEST HIM ON INTELLIGENCE.
THIS IS JUST TO
SEE IS HE LOSING IT, DOES HE HAVE ANY SIGNS OF EARLY
DEMENTIA, ALZHEIMER'S, STUFF LIKE THAT, KIND OF A BOARD
GAMBIT ON TRUMP'S PART TO GO FOR THIS, AND I THINK THIS PART IS
RELEVANT.
SO --
>>SO HE DOESN'T HAVE IT, IN FACT DR.
JACKSON SAID "I HAVE NO
CONCERNS ABOUT HIS COGNITIVE ABILITY."
OKAY.
I TRUST DR.
RONNY JACKSON, HE'S SWEATING UP A STORM UNDER THE LIGHTS, BUT I
HAVE NO REASON NOT TO BELIEVE HIM AT ALL.
SO THAT CONVERSATION
IS OVER.
NOW THAT LEADS TO THE NEXT QUESTION, I'M NOT SURE THIS
WAS A SMART THING FOR DONALD TRUMP TO DO BECAUSE IF YOU
REMEMBER, ONE OF HIS OUTS IS OH, GOLLY GEE, DID YOU CATCH ME WITH
MONEY LAUNDERING FOR THE RUSSIANS?
I GUESS I HAVE EARLY
ONSET DEMENTIA, THAT'S WHY I WAS SAYING THE STUPID THINGS I WAS,
I GOTTA GO, DOCTOR TELLS ME I GOTTA GO.
THAT'S THE OLD VINCENT
"THE CHIN" GIGANTE EXCUSE, WALKING AROUND IN A BATHROBE
SAYING DON'T PUT ME IN PRISON BECAUSE I'VE LOST MY MIND.
HE
TOOK THAT EXCUSE AWAY, I'M NOT SURE THAT WAS A SMART MOVE.
I'M
DEFINITELY WORRIED ABOUT THIS AND I'LL TELL YOU WHY, I DIDN'T
BELIEVE IT, AND IF YOU WATCH THE SHOW I'VE CALLED HIM STUPID A
THOUSAND, TWO THOUSAND, TWELVE THOUSAND TIMES, AND HE IS, HE'S
MONSTROUSLY STUPID.
I NEVER REALLY BELIEVE THE DEMENTIA
STUFF.
ONE THING THAT WAS MENTIONED IN THE BOOK WAS THEY
SAID HE HAD TROUBLE REMEMBERING AN OLD FRIEND'S NAME AT
MAR-A-LAGO, THAT'S KIND OF WEAK.
HIM NOT BEING ABLE TO FIND THE
LIMO, NEVER BELIEVED IT, NEVER COVERED IT ON THE SHOW, PEOPLE
MIGHT BE ANGRY ABOUT THAT BUT IT TURNS OUT HE DOESN'T HAVE
DEMENTIA, HE'S JUST STUPID.
THAT'S A TOTALLY DIFFERENT
THING.
BUT ONCE YOU TAKE THAT EXCUSE, THAT ESCAPE HATCH, AWAY
AND MUELLER CATCHES HIM WITH SOMETHING SIGNIFICANT, THIS IS
NOT GOOD NEWS FOR THE COUNTRY BECAUSE THERE GOES THE RELEASE
VALVE.
SO THAT MEETS TRUMP IS MORE LIKELY TO GET ENTRENCHED
AND FIGHT.
OOF.
THAT COULD BE A MESS.
SO I REALLY WISH HE HADN'T
DONE THIS, I'M HAPPY FOR HIM THAT HE HAS GOOD HEALTH, BUT
WHETHER IT'S FOR PROGRESSIVES OR MORE IMPORTANTLY FOR TRUMP AND
HIS ALLIES, THEY'VE JUST TAKEN THE ALZHEIMER'S EXCUSE OFF THE
TABLE.
NOT SURE THAT WAS A GOOD IDEA.
