Obama Health Official Slams Trump’s Annual Physical Report: ‘This is a DISGRACE!’
The health official who was previously appointed by President Barack Obama to lead the U.S. response to the Ebola crisis, slammed the White House physician’s recent memo summarizing Donald Trump’s second physical health exam in office.
“No doctor can predict someone’s future health,” Ronald Klain, who also served as Chief of Staff to former Vice President Joe Biden, said in a tweet on Saturday morning.
“This is a disgrace to an office with a great tradition of professionalism. Just another institution turned into a joke by a President determined to make anyone willing to submit an instrument of his lies,” he continued.

Conley also said in the brief memo that he anticipates the president would remain in good health “for the duration of his presidency, and beyond.”
The memo did not provide further details about the president’s assessment.
Conley said reports and recommendations regarding the president’s health are “still being finalized,” indicating more information could be released at a later date.
Twitter seemed to agree:

Why is a physician talking about the White House Squatter's "gratitude?"
And @RonaldKlain is right.
No one can predict future health.This is BULLSHIT! https://t.co/xvDvpEWe1q

Looks like (once again) the Mango Mussolini had his “Doctor” embellish his physical report. https://t.co/L9od94xQjS

My doc just guaranteed me two very healthy years too! He didn't care that I eat KFC and McDonalds all the time and only exercise every other day while playing golf (riding a cart of course because walking is for losers). WINNING!!!
