President Trump needs to lose 10 to 15 pounds but is generally in excellent health and has no problems “whatsoever” with his mental ability, his official military doctor said Tuesday. Dr. Ronny Jackson predicted that Trump would stay in good health throughout his time in office, even if it stretches to a second term.

“Absolutely he’s fit for duty,” Jackson told reporters at the White House. “I think he will remain fit for duty for the remainder of this term, and even for the remainder of another term if he’s elected.”

Jackson said that he had not planned to run cognitive tests on the 71-year-old president, but that the patient had insisted. Trump’s perfect 30 out of 30 score on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment rules out issues like Alzheimer’s or early onset dementia, the doctor said.
