The official who was previously tapped by former President Obama to lead the U.S. response to the Ebola crisis, slammed the White House physician's recent memo summarizing President Trump's second physical health exam in office.
"No doctor can predict someone's future health," Ronald Klain, who also served as chief of staff to former Vice President Joe Biden, said in a tweet on Saturday morning.

I wondered about it myself for a while, because hitching one's wagon to Trump has not, historically, ended well. I think the folks who are doing so are motivated by two things. One, the power and perks. These won't last forever, but they're nice while they do last. Two, they're all setting themselves up for a book deal. They all know the inevitable crash is coming, and by God, they're gonna capitalize on it when it does.

That's legit the only halfway rational reason I can think of for someone to cozy up to Trump.

And I'm sure trump tells them all "We're going to make a lot of money together" - but he never tells them he's keeping their share.

I just don't get it. trump has been a joke, a known clown around the Northeast for decades. How does this ridiculous caricature of a human being suddenly become the most powerful person in the USA? Who is behind this criminal? He MUST have some muscle behind him. Maybe pootin and trump and the rest of the world oligarchy really are close to winding up their biggest deal ever - the hostile takeover of humanity.

...the doctor was handed a pre-written overview of what he should report.
The doctor probably lives in fear that Trump will soon suffer a massive failure and blow the lid off the bogus examination.

‘Conley also said in the brief memo that he anticipates the president would remain in good health "for the duration of his presidency, and beyond."’

....well that’s good. He’ll enjoy good health in jail.
