I know the Ronny Jackson story was different but can we revive this thread based on two things that have happened recently? Jackson being recommended for a job he was totally unqualified for, probably as a quid pro quo for lying his ass off about Trump’s health? Trumps doctor claiming Trump dictated the infamous ‘healthiest president ever’ letter that his doctor supposedly wrote. Also his doctor saying Trump sent his bodyguard into the doctors office to take Trump’s medical records. > **[Read the full letter Trump's doctor says the president dictated saying he was...](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/trump-doctor-letter-healthiest-harold-bornstein-us-president-ever-full-text-fake-dictated-a8332066.html)** > > Physician now claims notorious note was dictated to him by then-presidential candidate > **[Trump's doctor says Trump bodyguard 'raided' his office, took files](https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-doc-says-trump-bodyguard-lawyer-raided-his-office-took-n870351)** > > Bornstein said he felt "raped" after White House aide Keith Schiller and lawyer Alan Garten showed up unannounced and took Trump's files. ---

> [@Wesley\_Clark](#): > > Trumps doctor claiming Trump dictated the infamous ‘healthiest president ever’ letter that his doctor supposedly wrote. Also his doctor saying Trump sent his bodyguard into the doctors office to take Trump’s medical records. To clarify, this is the “guy who looks like the Brent Spiner character from _Independence Day_” doctor, not Ronny Jackson. Presumably, he would have medical records dating from back before the Orange Oaf had any real motivation to fudge the numbers, which suggests a motive for him to make sure they were kept under wraps. ---

This news is certainly going to shake the faith of Trump supporters! Whatever are they to believe? Yeah Trump looks overweight, and regularly exercises riding a golf cart, but…this? Say it ain’t so! ---

Yup its a different guy but it shows a precedent of Trump forcing doctors to lie about his health to protect his fragile ego.
