Jonathan Reiner, the longtime cardiologist of former Vice President Dick Cheney, was on CNNs Out Front With Erin Burnett Friday evening and the doctor called for an independent group to investigate Trumps health.
I think the time is now to create an independent [group] to assess the fitness of the president and vice-president, he said.
Imagine if the person who examined your pilot worked for your pilot .we depend on people in key positions having independent medical exams, Reiner continued.
He is not moving in the right direction, he said regarding Trumps general health in the wake of a newly released annual Presidential checkup. The presidents weight has gone up. his cholesterol hasnt gone down. we know he has coronary disease. he is on a train going to a destination that he does not want to arrive at. if you dont treat these risk factors like high cholesterol and you dont reduce elevated weight and you dont do exercise, you are really increasing your risk of having a heart attack. I calculated the presidents risk of having a serious cardiovascular event its 17%

He's a big boy and need lots of energy to keep up his grueling pace.

He is mentally unstable and has cognitive decline. He should never have been allowed to serve.
