The White House released the report on Donald Trump’s physical, which on its surface is an improvement because it wasn’t a vague note issued by some doctor nobody has ever heard of who is practicing medicine in the dark corner of some strip mall.

The report contained actual data; whether or not the data is truthful and accurate is a different story, but it contained data that is believed to show that a rich white man with access to the best healthcare in the world is pretty healthy physically.

However being that this was Donald Trump, the report also had to contain propaganda.

This is the summary of the report, “President Trump remains in excellent health, exhibiting robust cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, and general physical function. His active lifestyle continues to contribute significantly to his well-being. President Trump's days include participation in multiple meetings, public appearances, press availability, and frequent victories in golf events. President Trump exhibits excellent cognitive and physical health and is fully fit to execute the duties ofthe Commander-in-Chief and Head of State.”

I know when I go in for my physical, the first question that is asked isn’t how are you feeling, but how many golf tournaments have you won since your last visit?

Isn’t success at golf one of the key measurements of physical health?

The report summary is absurd because all of the things that the physician listed as proof of Trump’s physical health can be controlled and manipulated by the president and the people around him.

According to the White House, you don’t need a cardiac stress test. Play a round of golf where the outcome is rigged at your own club.

What is even more astounding is that the mainstream media runs the story as handed to them by the White House and doesn’t ask questions or bat an eye.
