I read an article earlier this morning, I think it was Newsweek? And they basically stated outright he was a walking heart attack. I read crap yesterday from places that ignored the doctor and/or thinks he lied. I didn't watch the TV really at all, no need to, I know and could have predicted how those nitwits would respond.

Media Again Betray Public Trust with Wild Conspiracy Theories About Trump’s Mental Health

Trump’s perfect score on a mental acuity test once again exposes the media as wild conspiracy theorists and flat-out liars.

New York Times: (https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/10/opinion/is-mr-trump-nuts.html?rref=collection%2Ftimestopic%2FMental%20 Health%20and%20Disorders&action=click&contentCollection=health&region=stream&module=stream_unit&version=latest&contentPlacement=8&pgtype=collection) ‘Is Mr. Trump Nuts?’

USA Today: (https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2018/01/07/battles-over-trumps-mental-health-and-fitness-office-sidetrack-his-policy-agenda/1010991001/) “Battles over Trump’s mental health and ‘fitness’ for office sidetrack his policy agenda”

Washington Post: (https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/the-white-house-struggles-to-silence-talk-of-trumps-mental-fitness/2018/01/08/2a7d4092-f493-11e7-a9e3-ab18ce41436a_story.html?utm_term=.7a7800ed7db1) “Wolff’s book has thrust the topic [of Trump’s mental stability] to the forefront of public debate[.]”

CNN’s Jake Tapper: (http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/1801/12/cg.02.html) “[T]he president’s mental fitness has come under discussion quite a bit the last two weeks. Do you think a president’s mental health should be tested?”

NBC’s Chuck Todd: (https://www.nbcnews.com/meet-the-press/meet-press-january-7-2018-n835386) “[A] president … with a staff that questioned his ‘fitness for office’ and his mental stability.”

MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough: (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5247565/Scarborough-censored-Trump-dementia-claims.html) “I’ve written twice in my column a quote about one of the people closest to Donald Trump during the campaign saying he’s got early stage of dementia.”

NYT/CNN’s Maggie Haberman: (http://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-seems-expert-says-726421) “Unmoored.”

CBS News: (https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-defends-mental-fitness-in-wake-of-questions-raised-by-book/) “Author Michael Wolff, whose bestselling book portrays Mr. Trump as lacking the mental capacity for the presidency, maintains that even among those in the White House, there are questions.”

Obviously, this is just the tip of the 24/7 cable news/Sunday show/.com iceberg. The left-wing CNN has been trolling Trump over this issue for months, and turned it up to 11 this last week.

But what was the rationale for all this irresponsible, norm-defying, anti-science speculation? A book written by author Michael Wolff that even venomous Trump-haters like NBC’s Katy Tur has had to admit is “fake but true.” Hell, the author himself cannot even claim he told the truth.
