39. To be sure, tRump will be on his best behavior for this exam.

He knows the doctor can make SOME evaluation about his mental status by how he responds to normal questions he could be asked during the exam. Answers regarding how he feels (in general), any new problems or pain, etc. could be clues to his mental acuity, his hearing and ability to focus. Yes, a full mental examination would be ideal, but a good doctor would be able to slip in questions that could be similar to a mini mental.

tRump is a well practiced narcissist who may also have other personality issues (disorders) complicating his mental profile. He can charm the birds out of the trees when it suits his purpose. I find his so-called charming side to be off putting and phony, but it passes for normal in many situations. So you can bet that he will be on his best behavior with the doctor, he will co-operate and do as he is asked. I expect no great revelations from this examination other than to confirm what we already know. He is overweight and pudgy in places that are not healthy. His diet is atrocious and he is not likely to give up his beautiful chocolate cake and two scoops of his favorite ice cream. And no, the doctor won’t tell us that tRump should be removed from office for mental health reasons. tRump is a sneaky bastard and knows he needs to behave for this exam. Expect no surprises or great revelations, that is IF we ever get any of the details regarding Dear Leader’s Health.
