6 months on, Trump hasn't completed his physical. The White House won't say why.

WASHINGTON — It’s been more than six months since President Donald Trump claimed to have started his annual physical at Walter Reed hospital but the White House is declining to explain why he has yet to complete the yearly doctor’s examination.

Senior administration officials did not immediately respond to NBC News’ request for comment about the delay — despite Trump announcing this week he was taking an unproven and potentially dangerous drug after being exposed to an aide who tested positive for coronavirus.

Asked in early March about when he would complete his physical, the president told reporters, “I’m going probably over the next 90 days. I’m so busy, I can’t do it.”

A month later, as the coronavirus pandemic hospitalized UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, Trump said he would finish the exam “at the appropriate time” adding, “but I feel very good.”

A president’s annual physical typically occurs at the beginning of a new year. Trump’s 2019 exam was conducted in February, and his 2018 physical was conducted in January. It is uncommon for a president to complete a routine physical exam months apart and in multiple stages.

“As a part of granting a president as much power as we do, he has the obligation to demonstrate that he is well or, if he is not, to let us know exactly what is amiss,” said presidential historian Michael Beschloss.

1. That little emergency visit last year no doubt found something.

It was labeled as part of his annual, they already know what is wrong with him and they can’t find a doctor willing to say he’s in great health. Maybe even his groupies would think twice about re-electing someone on deaths door. We can only hope whatever it is, it’s fatal.

2. This would be a HUGE problem if it was ANY democrat, media would harp on it for weeks.

But it is rump, it is a con...so nothing.

7. They would, wouldn't they?

I have to say I'm really glad NBC has brought this up. Will any other media outlet follow through? Seems that the President's health should be a high priority for the nation, especially in this time of pandemic.

Were the shoe on the other foot, we know for a fact (considering the media frenzy over Hillary Clinton's stumble) the rumors would swirl about some dread disease that was being covered up, that the grim reaper was waiting just off stage, sharpening his scythe, ready for the reaping.

3. He's fine, no testing, therefore fine!

The corruption is deep.

[leftieNanner]

4. Well, we already know

that he's One Sick Ticket!!

And you are probably correct that he can't find any doctor out there to certify to his "perfect health".

[Ilsa]

5. As long as he's not getting treatment for it.

6. He's too busy

watching TV 8 hours a day while pounding Adderall and hydroxycloroquine.

I'm sure he's fine.

8. Anything that hastens his demise is OK with me.

The sooner, the better

9. The doc won't certify he's 239 # ?

10. Until they can remove the head from the rectum, no exam is possible

11. He is wanting the JFK style funeral procession.

[malaise]

12. He had to have a Lysol wash out first - He Lysol the time

Remember when they told us that he had started the tests early - when they rushed him to the hospital

[iscooterliberally]

13. I'm pretty confident that I know the results of his physical.

He's 350 pounds of bat poop stuffed into a 239 pound bag.
