You can’t trust the White House on Trump’s health

President Donald Trump, according to the White House, made an unscheduled trip to Walter Reed hospital on Saturday for a "quick exam and labs" as the first stage of his annual physical. But you shouldn't just believe them. Chris Cillizza breaks down why Trump has been less than truthful about his health before — and what it should tell us about what’s going on now.

Oh yeah and joe Biden’s health is excellent

[GailEm]

Jimmy Carter's healthier and more active than this man

[ebriggs]

Trump is worried he may go to jail. Worrying can stress you out and have a heart attack.

[vegaslady]

Twitter at 6 a.m. does not count as working as president.

[mattmopar]

243 lbs my ass he is 260-280 easy look at him

[shadda]

Honestly if he had a stroke, how would we even tell?

[rhopag]

Instead of using the safe word “falsehood”, how about we call them what they are... lies.

[erickutepow]

Well he was certainly healthy enough to out campaign Hillary and it paid off.

"He's almost superhuman" - Judge Jeanine must think she is on North Korean State Television.

[digiboiwand]

I hope to God that Trump is ok and healthy as a fiddle so he can be fit for office in jail.

[DarkSoulSama]

All this Mueller and Impeachment talk, and America is gonna end up being "saved" by the McRib....

[drakefire]

We've never been able to trust Trump's white house on anything. This isn't a surprise.

[judithjermark]

He's very healthy....very, very, very healthy. The Secret Service will keep him alive and nothing can hurt him. He's a "stable genius" and the "chosen one". I rest my case.

[mrs.benbarns]

So theres a moderate chance trump will be taken out of office by his heart? i'll take that chance.

[omaroba]

Great Video, Great points. My fellow Americans who love USA. its time to end this night mare show. Vote blue in 2020.

[marshalbaek]

If he dies, he dies. I was never a fan.

[blazing_saddles]

Trump could improve the health of all Americans by signing his

"He works from 6:00 am until very very late at night." Trump is lucky if can focus for more than five minutes on any discussion, meeting, etc. Basically Trump works about 60-90 minutes per day spread over a period of 8-9 hours.

The astounding properties of snorting crushed Aderol!

It must be painful to desperately want to see someone fail only to see them rack up win after win
