“The President’s physical exam today at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center went exceptionally well,” Jackson said in a short statement on Friday. “The President is in excellent health and I look forward to briefing some of the details on Tuesday.”

Trump critics have recently raised questions about his mental stability, with some even suggesting he might be suffering from dementia. However, Trump has dismissed the allegations as an attempt to undermine his authority.
“I went from a VERY successful businessman, to top T.V. Star, to President of the United States (on my first try),” Trump wrote on Twitter. “I think that would qualify as not smart, but genius….and a very stable genius at that!”
….Actually, throughout my life, my two greatest assets have been mental stability and being, like, really smart. Crooked Hillary Clinton also played these cards very hard and, as everyone knows, went down in flames. I went from VERY successful businessman, to top T.V. Star…..
