Walter Reed doctors asked the president to come in so they and their colleagues could try to understand how he’s in such amazing shape. He’s the most healthy specimen that they’ve seen and many people are saying so. He’s agreed to go because he wants to give the people the benefit of his rigor and strength. In a statement trump said, “They want to know how I do it. Who can blame them. I hear it all the time. ‘Sir, how do you manage to thrive like this? Sir, can we have some of it? And I say, ‘sure I guess’. Who am I to keep it all here? I mean I could, it’s my right as president. Some say I, you know many people are saying- I guess they call it ‘lonn gev itee’. I call it dongevity. Dongevity, can you believe it? Anyway, it’s what the people want.”
The doctors don't want Trump to come in so they can study him; they want him to come so he can TEACH them.
Trump is smarter than all those eggheads, and knows more about sciencey stuff, too.
His uncle did do the nuclear...
Well I'm just glad someone did.
The sad thing is that I can actually imagine KKKaroline Leavitt saying that to the press.
I hear he was born under a double rainbow and shot 11 holes-in-one on a single round of golf.
11 holes-in-one? I heard it was 21 holes-in-one on an 18 hole course.
MacDonald’s and assorted amphetamines.
