Following allegations that US President Donald Trump has mental issues, his physician, Dr Ronny Jackson, has shared the results of Trump’s first physical at a press conference on Tuesday, January 16.
According to Jackson, President Trump is in excellent physical and mental health as opposed to the reports that he is mentally unstable, Vox reports.
Against the speculations that the president might be suffering from early-stage dementia or have some other mental health issues, Jackson said that Trump got a perfect 30 out of 30 score on a common dementia screening exam called the Montreal Cognitive Assessment.

He said: “I can reliably say, and I think that the folks in the mental health [field] would back me up on the fact that if he had some kind of mental, cognitive issue, that this test is sensitive enough, it would have picked up on it. He would not have got 30 out of 30 ... ”
“And my personal experience is that he has absolutely no cognitive or mental issues whatsoever,” he added.
Jackson also said that the president is generally fit and might live up to 200 years.
He said: “Some people have just great genes. I told the president that if he had a healthier diet over the last 20 years, he might live to be 200 years old.”
Jackson said President Trump only has one health concern; his weight of 239 pounds.
He said the president wants to lose 10 to 15 pounds over the next year, and plans to exercise more.
When asked if he thought Trump was fit enough to carry out this presidential term, Jackson said yes and added he would be fit enough to carry out a second term if he elected.
Legit.ng previously reported Trump on Saturday, January 6, replied speculations that he is mentally unstable.
He replied by praising and describing himself as “a very mentally stable genius.”
His response followed the release of a bombshell book that calls into doubt his mental health. In a series of extraordinary tweets, Trump said that: “Throughout my life, my two greatest assets have been mental stability and being, like, really smart.”
“I went from VERY successful businessman, to top T.V. Star to president of the United States (on my first try). I think that would qualify as not smart, but genius….and a very stable genius at that!”
