Obama health official blasts Trump's physical exam: 'No doctor can predict someone's future health'

The official who was previously tapped by former President Obama to lead the U.S. response to the Ebola crisis, slammed the White House physician’s recent memo summarizing President Trump’s second physical health exam in office.

“No doctor can predict someone’s future health,” Ronald Klain, who also served as chief of staff to former Vice President Joe Biden, said in a tweet on Saturday morning.

“This is a disgrace to an office with a great tradition of professionalism. Just another institution turned into a joke by a President determined to make anyone willing to submit an instrument of his lies,” he continued.




His tweet came a day after Sean Conley, the physician to the president, declared in a memo summarizing Trump’s recent exam that he was in “very good health.”

The lengths that some of these folks will go to please "the president". Unless Dr Conley just happens to write official memos that read conspicuously like Trump-speak, the out his name on a memo that was pre-prepared by the White House. A joke indeed

It just takes a small cadre of people who will do anything for their guy to fuck everything up.

Don't be fooled by this majority rules stuff.

The 30% who could care less if somebody shot someone on 5th Avenue can control the other 70%...

Its at our own peril if we think otherwise.
