Gavin Newsom Trolls Trump's MRI Memo With His Own Merciless Mock Medical Report

Gavin Newsom Trolls Trump’s MRI Memo With His Own Merciless Mock Medical Report

California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s (D) ongoing campaign of trolling Donald Trump took a mockingly clinical turn after the White House released what it claimed were the results of the president’s mysterious October MRI.
According to a memo from presidential physician Sean Barbabella, the “preventative” checkup showed Trump in “excellent overall health” with “perfectly normal” cardiovascular and abdominal imaging.
Newsom’s press office responded with a spoof medical note written in Trumpian language. “I’m pleased to report that nothing about the Governor’s health is merely ‘normal,’” the mock letter read. “Governor Newsom remains the healthiest human currently alive or recorded in medical history.”
See it here:
The note claimed Newsom’s arteries were “shimmering” and his bone density “exceptional.”
It also took a jab at Trump’s energy, which was questioned last week in a report by The New York Times. It said: “While we do not typically comment on the health of other elected officials, we’ll simply note that Governor Newsom completes full workdays without falling asleep in meetings, does not require ‘executive time’ to lie down and watch TV during work hours, and is able to stand upright without looking like the Leaning Tower of Pisa.”
