Regarding Trump's physical next month.

[Arkansas Granny]

Trump is scheduled for a physical in January at Walter Reed. In discussing this with a friend of mine, she wonders what if they find signs of dementia, or some other disease, will they report it? Do HIPPA laws apply to the President?

1. HIPAA applies to everyone

So if they find something, but he asks them not to release it, they won't. But they won't lie for him. If they release a report missing some key information, like blood pressure, then he probably has high blood pressure.

3. His BMI (Brain Mass Index) registers as Stay-Puft. nt

4. Just leave a copy on the copy machine...

5. The results of the medical examination (even the neuro and psyche) mean nothing.

Trump will only message what he wants others to know. And he lies. Why should this situation be any different?

6. I am skeptical Trump will submit to a physical. I just can't see him doing it.

[lisby]

7. Yup.

He'll go to some unqualified idiot like he did before the election, who will pen a note saying Trump is a god, a superman, a man with fortitude unlike that ever in any the human, let alone president, and probably something about the vast richness of his sperm count.

8. "The vast richness of his sperm count"?

He hasn't had the physical and I already need eye bleach for that one!
