Outside doctors have reviewed Trump’s test results from his physical last week, and some have concluded that he has heart disease and is at risk for heart attack or stroke.  From the horse’s mouth, Dr. Eric Topol, a cardiologist at the Scripps Research Institute on Trumps LDL cholesterol of 143:

“That’s a really high LDL,” Dr. Topol said. “We’re talking about a 70-plus-year-old man who is obese and doesn’t exercise. Just looking at the lab value, you would raise a big red flag. I would never use the words ‘excellent health.’ How you could take these indices and say excellent health? That is completely contraindicated.”

Dr. David Maron, the director of preventive cardiology at Stanford University’s medical school, was asked if Trump was indeed in “excellent  health”.  His answer?  “God, no.”

Trump is well known for eating like a 14 year old and drinking a dozen Diet Cokes a day.  He boasts about not drinking alcohol, but that hasn’t lowered his risk for heart attack in the slightest; in fact, he’s grossly overweight eating crap on a daily basis.  Talking about his obesity, Topol said,

“Here the issue is, does he have abdominal obesity? I don’t care what his height is. All you have to do is look at his abdomen. Abdominal obesity, that’s the machinery for inflammation for the heart.”

Sanja Gupta of CNN went further saying that the calcium in his blood indicates heart disease.  The Twittersphere erupted on that news.  Other doctors, though, dismiss Gupta’s claim as being overstated.  Apparently the cholesterol level is more indicative of the potential heart problem.

The scary part of this whole thing?  No, not his health; we all know he’s a heart attack looking for a place to happen.  It’s that a Navy doctor practicing at Walter Reed Medical Center and the White House physician has misrepresented the health report of the President of the United States, then gone on national television and talked about his “excellent health”, which anyone with functioning eyes in their head knows is false.  He ought to lose his medical license and be drummed out of the Navy.
