DONALD TRUMP HAS HAD HIS FIRST MEDICAL EXAM AS PRESIDENT
AND THE RESULTS INDICATE THAT HE IS EXTREMELY HEALTHY.
CHOLESTEROL IS A LITTLE HIGH BUT ACCORDING TO THE DOCTOR
THAT ANALYZED HIS HEALTH, HE IS IN GOOD SHAPE.
DOCTOR RONNIE JACKSON IS THE PERSON WHO CONDUCTED THESE TESTS
IN IT NOT ONLY INCORPORATED A PHYSICAL EXAM BUT ALSO A
COGNITIVE EXAM BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT SOMEBODY PEOPLE HAVE
BEEN QUESTIONING TRUMP'S MENTAL FITNESS FOR OFFICE.
IT INDICATES THAT HE IS OVERWEIGHT, BUT HIS BMI
INDICATES THAT HE IS NOT CONSIDERED OBESE.
HIS DOCTOR WAS QUOTED AS SAYING:
IN FACT, WHY DON'T WE HEAR FROM HIS DOCTOR.
AGAIN, THIS IS THE SAME DOCTOR BY THE WAY WHO PERFORMED A
MEDICAL EXAMS ON OBAMA SO IT DOESN'T APPEAR THAT THERE
IS ANY TYPE OF PARTISAN ISSUE HERE, BUT I WANT YOU TO
HEAR FROM HIM YOURSELF SO TAKE A LOOK.
EXPLAIN TO ME HOW A GUY WHO EATS MCDONALD'S AND KENTUCKY
FRIED CHICKEN, ALL HIS DIET COKE AND NEVER EXERCISES IS
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 PAST 20 YEARS, HE MIGHT LIVE TO BE 200 YEARS OLD.
I DON'T KNOW.
HE HAS INCREDIBLE GENES.
THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS COVERED BY CENK UYGUR
ON YESTERDAY'S
SHOW BUT THERE'S LITTLE TWIST AND THE TWIST TO THE STORY IS
THAT THESE MEDICAL REPORTS HAVE NOW LED TO THE SO-CALLED GIRTHER
MOVEMENT, A PLAY ON THE BIRTHER MOVEMENT OBVIOUSLY WHICH IS
SOMETHING THAT TRUMP PUSHED FOR WHEN HE CLAIMED THAT OBAMA
WASN'T BORN IN THE UNITED STATES AND NEEDED TO SHOW EVERYONE
HIS BIRTH CERTIFICATE TO PROVE IT.
THIS MOVEMENT I BELIEVE WAS COINED BY CHRIS HAYES.
AND THEN THE CONSPIRACY THEORIES BEGAN.
THE COMPARISONS BETWEEN TRUMP AND ATHLETES, TRUMP AND
BARACK OBAMA.
BARACK OBAMA'S HEIGHT WAS SIX BUT ONE IN THIS NEW MEDICAL
REPORT ON TRUMP INDICATES THAT HE IS 6
FOOT THREE BUT IF YOU LOOK AT PICTURES OF THEM STANDING
SIDE-BY-SIDE, THAT DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE THE CASE.
BEN SAYS PICTURES DON'T TELL THE WORDS, THEY
LIE, SO IT COULD DEPEND ON THE ANGLE, ETC.
I AM NOT A GIRTHER.
I DON'T IF YOU KNOW THIS, BUT I'M 160 POUNDS.
REALLY?
NO.
NEVERMIND.
I'M NOT GOING TO INSULT YOU.
GO AHEAD.
TOO LATE.
ANYWAY, I'M LARGELY GOING TO DEFEND DONALD TRUMP ON THIS
BECAUSE IT'S A POINTLESS CONSPIRACY.
SO WHAT?
EVEN IF HE IS LYING AND I DON'T KNOW WHY THE DOCTOR WOULD,
HE'S SUPER LEGIT THAT HE'S BEEN THE WHITE HOUSE DOCTOR SINCE
2013, IT'S NOT IMPORTANT OR RELEVANT.
THAT'S THE THING ABOUT CONSPIRACY THEORIES, THE MINUTE
THEY START, THEY START TO LOOK MORE AND MORE POSSIBLE EVERY MINUTE.
THEN THE PEOPLE FOUND OUT THAT ON HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE
HE'S ACTUALLY LISTED AS 6'2".
I LOOK AT THAT AND GO, WHO CARES?
WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL?
BUT THEN HOLD ON, THEN I READ A LITTLE BIT MORE INTO AND PEOPLE
ARE LIKE, IF HE WAS 6 FOOT TWO AND 239 POUNDS, HE WOULD GO FROM
BEING OVERWEIGHT CATEGORICALLY BASED ON BMI TO OBESE.
IS THERE ANYONE IN THE COUNTRY WHO WOULD CARE ABOUT
WHETHER HE WAS CALLED OBESE OR NOT MORE THAN DONALD TRUMP?
SO I'M LIKE WAIT A MINUTE, THAT IS LITTLE PLAUSIBLE.
AND THEN YESTERDAY WHEN I COVER THE STORY AND I SHOWED THE
SAME CLIP I NOTED, RONNIE JACKSON IS SWEATING UP THERE.
HE'S UNDER THE LIGHTS AND LIKE FRAZZLED AND HE'S LIKE NO, IT'S
TRUE, IS 239 POUNDS.
30 OUT OF 30 ON THE COGNITIVE SCORE.
SO WHAT, THE SLIDES THERE, DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING BUT YOU
START TO PUT IT TOGETHER AND PEOPLE GO A HALF YEAH, IT'S
INTERESTING BECAUSE I THINK THE MOVEMENT IS FUNNY MOSTLY BECAUSE
IT'S A PLAY OFF OF THE BIRTHER MOVEMENT.
ON NAME ALONE IT'S TAKING OFF.
I DON'T LIKE, I DON'T REALLY LIKE NITPICKING ABOUT HIS
WEIGHT.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
IT MAKES ME UNCOMFORTABLE.
ALSO MCMAHON CONTROL WHEN PEOPLE SPECULATE ABOUT HIS MENTAL
HEALTH.
I WILL ADMIT THAT HIS BEHAVIOR SEEMS ERRATIC, HE SEEMS TO
DO THINGS THAT DON'T SEEM NORMAL, SAY THINGS THAT
DON'T SEEM NORMAL BUT BASED ON THIS COGNITIVE TEST HE WAS
GIVEN, HE SHOWS NO SIGNS OF DEMENTIA OR ALZHEIMER'S.
THE EXACT TEST THAT THEY GAVE THEM IS KNOWN AS THE MONTR…AL
COGNITIVE ASSESSMENT AND IS A VERY SIMPLE TEST, BUT APPARENTLY
IT'S VERY EFFECTIVE IN DETERMINING WHETHER OR NOT AN
INDIVIDUAL HAS DEMENTIA OR ALZHEIMER'S NOW IT DETECTS
94% OF PEOPLE DO DEMENTIA AND A SCORE OF 26 OR LOWER
INDICATES THAT YOU PROBABLY ARE DEVELOPING DEMENTIA.
HE RECEIVED A SCORE OF 30
BUT WHAT THEY DO IS THEY HAVE YOU DRAW A Q.
IT'S NOT LIKE THEY GAVE HIM A GENIUS TEST.
PEOPLE ARE TRADING AT SF, SMARTEST MAN IN AMERICA.
NO, HE DOESN'T HAVE SIGNS OF DEMENTIA WHICH IS A GOOD THING.
GOOD, I'M GLAD HE DOESN'T.
THERE IS MORE THAT I WANT TO GET TO BECAUSE SANJAY GUPTA HAS
IMMERSED HIMSELF IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS CONTROVERSY BECAUSE HE
BELIEVES THAT TRUMP DOES IN FACT HAVE HEART DISEASE.
LET'S GO TO GRAPHIC 33.
I AM NOT A MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL, I DON'T KNOW, BUT I FEEL
UNCOMFORTABLE WITH SOMEONE WHO IS NOT TESTING TRUMP
HIMSELF CHIMING IN ON THIS EITHER.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
I AM GOING TO DEFEND TRUMP ON THAT ONE TOO.
DAVID JIM, I AM NOT A DOCTOR, I AM A TALKSHOW HOST.
OF COURSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS CORE 133 MEANS.
I UNDERSTAND WHAT HE'S SAYING, BUT IT SEEMS
SENSATIONALISTIC TO CALL IT HEART DISEASE.
IT MAKES IT SEEMS LIKE HE IS GOING TO HAVE A HEART
ATTACK ANY SECOND AND HIS DOCTOR SAYS NO, THEY DID A
CORONARY TEST ON THEM AND HE IS FINE.
YOU CAN ARGUE OVER THAT POLL PARTICULAR NUMBER BUT SO
WHAT, EVEN IF HE WAS AT RISK FOR HEART DISEASE.
AND?
THAT'S A GOOD POINT.
IT'S IRRELEVANT IN THAT SENSE.
AND THEN ALSO, PEOPLE WHO KEPT POSTING PICTURES
COMPARING TRUMP TO ATHLETES WHO HAPPEN TO WEIGH MORE.
WE HAVE A FEW EXAMPLES OF THAT.
LET'S GO TO GRAPHIC 45.
WHO IS THAT?
GOT DISTRACTED.
I DON'T KNOW.
LET'S JUST KEEP LOOKING AT THESE PICTURES.
MUSCLE WEIGHS MORE THAN FAT.
THESE ARE NOT THE BEST WAYS OF DETERMINING WHETHER OR NOT
HE'S LYING ABOUT HIS WEIGHT AND I DO NOT CARE.
LET'S MOVE ON WITH OUR LIVES.
I'M GOING TO SAY ONE LAST THING.
AGAIN, ONCE THE CONSPIRACIES START, THEY CATCH ON.
YOU SEE THOSE PICTURES, THEY EVEN GOT TO ME.
I WAS LIKE WAIT A MINUTE, THERE IS NO WAY THAT GUY IS 239
AND THAT GUY IS 239.
AND THEN JOHNNY PIKE GOT ME THINKING.
HE IS LIKE THERE'S NO WAY HE'S 239.
AND THEN APPARENTLY ANOTHER PART OF THE THEORY IS THAT HE GOT THE
COGNITIVE TEST AHEAD OF TIME, THAT THEY INSISTED ON TAKING IT
BECAUSE IT'S OUT THERE IN PUBLIC AND THEY HAD HIM STUDY FOR IT.
IF THAT IS TRUE, THAT IS SO WONDERFULLY PATHETIC BUT AGAIN,
THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN.
WE DON'T KNOW.
THERE'S NO STUDYING FOR THAT TEST OUR
IN MY ACTUALLY LITERALLY BE FAKE NEWS.
ANYWAY, MY BOTTOM LINE ON ALL OF THIS IS TRUMP TODAY IS
BRAGGING ABOUT THE 30 OUT OF 30.
THAT DOESN'T TEST HOW INTELLIGENT YOU ARE.
IT'S NOT AN IQ TEST IT TEST WHETHER YOU HAVE DEMENTIA.
THAT IS THE LOWEST BAR EVER.
WE HAVE AN IDIOT PRESIDENT GOING AROUND, I DON'T HAVE DEMENTIA.
AREN'T I SO SMART?
LOOK AT ME.
I'M A STABLE GENIUS.
I AM NOT MENTALLY DEFICIENT.
THAT GOES TO SHOW THAT PERHAPS YOU ARE NOT THAT BRIGHT IF
YOUR BAR IS I DON'T HAVE DEMENTIA AND I AM PROUD.
