You guys sure seem pretty trusting of a 71 year old man you don't know very well...

Maybe, when the voters go to the polls next time, the expression that "Elections have consequences", will be remembered and heeded by more of them. We're suffering those consequences now. If there are serious physical or mental conditions behind Trump's behavior and could risk our survival, how could anyone claim that it's none of our business?

The president is still a citizen and is afforded rights and privileges, just like anyone else. Among them is privacy. Doctor-patient confidentiality should not be tossed aside because of your job.

Presumably, we would not elect a president who would remain in office if his doctor told him he is unfit to serve. We also have a system that even if the president isn't, he can only do so much damage.

I trust his judgement more than I trust yours. You sound very young with little experience.

1) No, he really doesn't have his hands on the button.

2) So, are you giving up on impeachment and shifting to this now?

LOL. This same schtick was aimed at Hillary claiming she was a drunk or loopy etc.

But don't you worry. No one is going to judge your for using the same tactics as nutjob rightwingers just cuddle right on up to your mental equals.

Yes, mental capacity is the latest Obama and other Democrats are trying on President Trump (plus Hillary "creeping out" thing), and before these two it was "Russian Collusion," and before he won the elections it was "locker room talk."

Anyway, you don't have to believe me if you don't like to, but the rich always have the best medical care in the nation. I am certain that he has had medical physical exams for years and years already. And no, you don't have any right to know the status of his mental or any other health issues, nor do I.

The crazy things some posters come up with!

Believe it's traditional for POTUS to see a military doctor annually and for the WH to release a statement. I remember hearing about it with former presidents - didn't it become a story when Clinton's cholesterol was high and he changed his diet?

Feel sorry who whoever has to examine trump's flabby body - gross.
