It isn’t Donald….
A LOT of us do NOT believe you are telling us the truth…..
But then?
You DO have a habit of lying, eh?
President Trump said he is in “perfect health” and “aced” a cognitive exam for the third consecutive time in a Truth Social post Friday.
“The White House Doctors have just reported that I am in ‘PERFECT HEALTH,’ and that I ‘ACED’ (Meaning, was correct on 100% of the questions asked!), for the third straight time, my Cognitive Examination, something which no other President, or previous Vice President, was willing to take,” Trump wrote.
The president added that he believes anyone running for president or vice president should be forced to take a cognitive exam.
Trump, who is the oldest person to be elected president, has faced questions about his health in recent months after he told reporters he underwent an MRI in October.

But Reiner told host Phil Mattingly on CNN’s “The Lead” that it, in fact, “makes no sense.”
“That actually makes nonsense,” he continued. “First of all, when we use any kind of anticoagulant, medications to prevent clotting, those don’t thin the blood. It’s not like changing something from gumbo to chicken soup. It doesn’t make it thinner. It makes you less likely to clot.”
When used, aspirin thins the blood and prevents clots from forming, according to the American Heart Association(AHA). The AHA notes, though, that people older than 70 taking aspirin to prevent a first heart attack or stroke can do more harm than good due to the risk of bleeding….
