So, unfortunately, he's not likely to "stroke out" anytime soon.
I posted this on TMF, but I'll repeat it here with some updates that aren't appropriate there.
I weigh about 225, and am about 3 inches shorter than the liar-in-chief. His gut is as big or bigger than mine. There's no freaking way he weighs 224. The entire report is just a bunch of lies. I doubt that any of the tests were actually performed.
I fully expect lies from Trump, but I'm disappointed that a professional with a code of ethics to follow would sign his name to those lies. I wonder how many military physicians they had to run through to find one that would agree to lie for Trump. The fact that it's an Emergency physician tells a lot. An exam like this would normally be conducted by a general practitioner or a family physician.
It's even more distressing that a member of the military would agree to such lies. These actions reflect poorly on the entire military, not just this one doctor and his superior officers. And that's not really fair to the vast majority of military members who take their oath to the constitution seriously.
So two conclusions.
1. This report - correction - pile of lies doesn't say anything about the odds of him stroking out. We simply don't know.
2. The number of people willing to lie on behalf of Trump is simply astonishing. That in itself would be an interesting thing to study in the future.
