White House unable to release results of Trump’s latest medical exam because they were too good

It’s been three days since President Donald Trump visited Walter Reed Medical Center for his latest physical examination, and the White House has yet to release the results. As CNN reports, this break from the administration’s own previous practices will likely “fuel further questions about his health and fitness.”

While Trump took to social media to declare his “perfect” health following the hourslong visit, and despite assurances that a report on the checkup would be made available in “the next day or so,” there is no evidence that the White House or the president’s physician plan on offering a public presentation.

According to CNN, “The three-day silence marks a departure from the White House’s handling of Trump’s prior physical exams. After a visit to Walter Reed last April, personal physician Dr. Sean Barbabella summarized the results in a memo released two days later. When Trump returned for another exam in October, Barbabella’s declaration that he remained in “exceptional health” was published later the same day. This time, Trump has so far served as the only source of information about his own health just weeks out from his 80th birthday.”

“Despite the rumors being spread by the Fake News Media, the president’s physical and mental state was so extraordinary that the nation’s top medical scientists are in the process of constructing a new scale to capture it accurately,” said spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt, while explaining the unprecedented failure to release the results of the examination. “President Trump has a physiological profile that would humiliate an Olympic decathlete, and an IQ score that is simply too high to measure.”
