Wow, while you have your CNN blinders on the rest of the world is ridiculing your REEL doctor. CNN Chief Medical Correspondent Sanjay Gupta was ridiculed across social media on Wednesday for declaring that President Trump has heart disease. White House physician Ronny Jackson said on Tuesday that Trump was in "excellent health" after conducting the president’s physical exam at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center last week. Jackson answered a variety of questions from skeptical reporters during a press briefing and repeatedly stated that Trump was perfectly fine, with the exception of needing cholesterol medicine and being slightly overweight. But on Wednesday morning Gupta, who did not examine Trump, took Jackson’s data and declared that Trump has heart disease, prompting instant ridicule from people on both sides of the political aisle. “This is math. This is based on the numbers that Dr. Jackson provided,” Gupta said. “The president has heart disease.” White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders reminded everyone during Wednesday’s press briefing that Jackson is the only doctor who has actually examined the president, calling him the “only credible source” when it comes to Trump’s health. Gupta eventually followed up his on-air report by doubling down with an article on CNN’s website. “Like most men of his age, President Donald Trump has a common form of heart disease, relatively easy to address if he increases the dose of his cholesterol-lowering medication and makes necessary lifestyle changes,” he wrote. HuffPost Editor in Chief Lydia Polgreen, whose site refused to cover Trump in the political section for the early stages of his campaign, wrote, “I’m not a doctor but this seems like a stretch?” Townhall political editor Guy Benson said, ”The respected doctor who actually examined Trump says otherwise. This seems reckless and unethical,” while Free Beacon reporter Alex Griswold asked, “What else did former Hillary Clinton advisor Sanjay Gupta say?" Another user wrote, “Sanjay Gupta makes a last minute submission for the Fake News Awards.” Jack Posobiec ✔ @JackPosobiec CNN's Chief Medical Conspiracy Theorist Sanjay Gupta is not a cardiologist, not the White House physician, has never examined the President, and has been spreading these debunked heart rumors since 2016 Educating Liberals @Education4Libs CNN’s Dr. Sanjay Gupta diagnosed Trump with heart disease. What kind of ethical professional would publicly diagnose someone without an examination and the permission to make public? This is EXTREME malpractice. James Hasson @JamesHasson20 Well if Sanjay Gupta says so, it’s probably right. And if Doctor Oz confirms Gupta’s TV diagnosis, then it will really be legit. Josh Hall @realJoshuaHall Apparently CNN's "doctor" Sanjay Gupta forgot the first rule of ethics in the medical field: you never diagnose someone without examining them. As I've said many times, when it comes to Trump, these CNN lapdogs all of a sudden become experts on everything. Feet is next - watch! Joe Concha ✔ @JoeConchaTV Rear Adm. Jackson, the WH doctor who directly examined and tested POTUS, shot down this long-distance prognosis by Sanjay Gupta.
LOL. You like to post form Crackpot sites.. Hilarious... Newsflash: The Magic School Bus did their own exam of The Hutt too!
Sanjay Gupta is a hater like everyone else at CNN. The next time they say anything positive about Trump will be the first time.
Well, maybe he has eyes and can see that Trump is fat and out of shape, drinks diet coke like it's water, and eats fast food?
Several folks have spoken about his insomnia....apparently he's wired on soda pop...can't sleep more than a few hours a night.
Trust me, there's nothing borderline about his obesity. He actually declared to the national news media one time that he gets his exercise from waving his hands about in the air during news interviews and campaign stops. I laughed 'till I cried when I saw and heard that.
Who isn't? The German language spoken can only be described as the most eloquent German I've ever heard and I've had up to the first term of 3rd year college German. Also, you gotta love the carving of the swastika into each prisoner's forehead.
Not sure how accurate this diet is, but I'm curious if anyone has ever seriously ingested a dozen diet Coke's in one day. That sounds pretty effing terrible.
