Trump certified healthy

President Trump

White House doctor Ronny Jackson has declared that apart from being slightly overweight President Trump was in excellent health 

At 6ft 2in tall and weighing 17st, the president is regarded as being slightly obese.

Overall, however, Mr Trump was said to be reaping the health benefits of a lifetime’s abstinence from alcohol and tobacco.

Dr Jackson dismissed fears over Mr Trump's cognitive ability.  He stated that his frequent interactions with Mr Trump had left him with “absolutely no concerns about his cognitive ability”. Questions had been asked concerning Mr Trump’s mental acuity after a recent book claimed that aides had been uncomfortable about his habit of making the same remarks within minutes.

The White House doctor continued: “He’s very sharp . . . I’ve never known him to repeat himself.” The president had slurred his words last month while announcing that he was recognising Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. 

Dr Jackson said last night that he had given Mr Trump Sudafed, a medicine that is used to treat nasal congestion, and this could have contributed to his dry mouth.
