Trump jokes Ronny Jackson knew 'every inch of my body' and 'he thinks it's beautiful'
Donald Trump certainly knows how to work the crowd. At his speech at CPAC on Saturday night, February 26, the former US president had the crowd laughing and clapping as declared that he had a better body than former presidents Barack Obama and George W Bush. Taking his claim further, he even gave the audience an intimate picture of what his relations with the White House doctor were like. He started with introducing former presidential doctor Ronny Jackson, now a US congressman from Texas as "a man who knows me almost better than any human being" while jokingly adding "he knows every inch of me – and he thinks it's a very beautiful sight."
Rep. Jackson served as White House physician during both of Trump's predecessors' administrations, according to the former president. Trump joked during his speech at CPAC, "I'd like to ask him who's in the best shape."

Dr Harold Bornstein, who examined Trump for the first time as a presidential candidate in December 2015, was not afraid to state at the time. "If elected, Mr. Trump, I can state unequivocally, will be the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency."
Dr Jackson offered Trump another, more realistic health evaluation in January 2020. Jackson praised Trump's intelligence, heart strength, and overall health, and advised him to lower his cholesterol, improve his nutrition, and begin a fitness routine in order to shed 10 to 15 pounds. However, when it comes to President Joe Biden, Dr Jackson is not a fan. In 2021 amid the Afghan crisis, he claimed that the POTUS is not "cognitively prepared" to be the president of United States.
Thanks to an experimental drugs coctail by Trump's Dr Feelgood, he is feeling even more upbeat and energetic than at the debate

Despite the fact that Trump practices healthy behaviors such as avoiding smoking or drinking, he is not a fan of exercise. In 2015, Trump told The New York Times, "All my friends who work out all the time, they're going for knee replacements, hip replacements - they're a disaster."
During his stint as director of the White House medical unit, Rep. Jackson, a retired Navy rear admiral, showered praises on Trump, suggesting he "might live to be 200 years old." Trump weighed 110kg (244 pounds) during a health checkup in early 2020, which, given his height of 1.9m (6ft3), put him slightly above the obese threshold in the Body Mass Index.
Trump's mental state was called into doubt during disturbances organized by pro-Trump protesters at the US Capitol. Following the disturbances caused by pro-Trump protestors at the US Capitol, many were doubting Trump's mental competence. A group of professional psychiatrists has apparently submitted documentation demanding for the president's psychological evaluation in response to his poor response to violence in Washington.
Lee, a forensic psychiatrist, has taught at Yale Law School and Yale School of Medicine. She is the co-author of 'The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump,' a New York Times bestseller that supposedly contains evidence of Trump's mental state. She's also said that facts about Trump's mental health made his administration's response to the coronavirus epidemic and reluctance to stand down "predictable." Despite the president's short tenure, Lee believes he "poses an unacceptable level of medical risk that requires intervention," according to the publication.
