Trump Touts Health Superiority Over Obama, Highlights Cognitive Exam Results at Iowa Rally
Former President Donald Trump took a detour from criticizing President Joe Biden's mental acuity during a rally in Coralville, Iowa, to boast about his own health, asserting that he is "the healthiest guy" and surpasses even former President Barack Obama in healthiness. Trump claimed to have passed a recent physical examination with flying colors and aced a cognitive exam, a point he underscored with an anecdote from his former White House physician, Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Texas).
Trump recounted Jackson's assessment, stating that the doctor declared there was "no contest" when it came to comparing the health of Trump and Obama. Trump, now 74, compared to Obama, who ended his presidency at 55, asserted that he was deemed the healthier individual by Jackson. He shared Jackson's remark that, had Trump maintained a healthier diet over the last two decades, he might live to be 200 years old—a claim the former White House physician did make in a previous assessment.
Despite skepticism and scrutiny, Trump released a recent letter from his doctor affirming his excellent health and exceptional cognitive exam results. Trump has repeatedly emphasized his health status, including highlighting a "very hard" cognitive test he took as president.
The rally comments reflect Trump's ongoing fascination with Obama, from questioning his birthplace to critiquing policies. As Trump positions himself as a potential presidential candidate, he juxtaposes his own health and cognitive abilities against those of Biden, all while maintaining his signature style of making bold assertions and comparisons.
