12. I was suspicious of the blood pressure reading.

At his age and no medications except a statin drug for his cholesterol, I find it highly unlikely that his blood pressure at age 70 would be completely normal....given his weight and lifestyle. Likewise his blood sugar seemed off....for the same reasons the B/P reading seemed unbelievable. In recent years the standards for that have changed and at 99 he would be right at the cutoff to have further investigation of his blood sugar. At 100 or above, his doctor should suggest a glucose tolerance test. So if they report it at 99, he seems healthier and wouldn't need further tests. I am not buying any of these test results and particularly since they are three years old....if they are accurate.

As for the testosterone being....high......isn't that fitting for a man who thinks he is god's gift to women?? Gotta keep up the illusion that The Donald is still a stud! Anyone who thinks they didn't fudge these numbers is in La La Land.

Dr. Hippy-dippy could have indeed done a physical of Trump last week. Looked him over, declared him fit as a fiddle and used the 2013 data to give his assessment. Nothing in the report indicates he did anything different. He just played around with the numbers and facts to please Trump. It wouldn't surprise me to learn that Trump (or one of his surrogates) stood over his shoulder and dictated the report they wanted.
