Dr. Ronny Jackson, the physician who examined President Trump last week, said Tuesday that the president personally requested a cognitive exam and that the results were “normal.” Jackson said he did not feel that such a test was necessary. Additionally, the doctor revealed, Trump is 75 inches tall and weighs 239 pounds. After the publication of Michael Wolff’s Fire and Fury book and Trump’s subsequent tweets calling himself a “very stable genius,” questions have swirled about Trump’s mental capacity and his fitness for the office he holds. “I have absolutely no concerns about his cognitive ability,” Jackson said. “I think he will remain fit for duty for the remainder of this term and for the remainder of the next term if he’s re-elected.”
