I agree. Unfortunately Toadstool can't do that, either.
Our grotesquely fat president at high risk of heart attack

As a dementia nurse, you robably know that it is unethical to diagnose someone without clinical testing.
A half-century of leadership experience says otherwise.
And then the author proceeds to attempt to convince us that Trump's declining ability to speak coherently is not symptom of a disease process, but a deliberate and intentional mannerism. It didn't work.
Of course. And no one is doing that here, are we? We are merely discussing observable characteristics of a very public figure, including a measurable difference in speaking abilities, obesity, and admitted lack of exercise while consuming an admitted unhealthy diet.

Well how much energy are you claiming he has, more or less than the average person?
trump campaigned like a rich man with a hobby. He flew home every night during the campaign to sleep in his own bed. He wasn't sitting in a bus criss-crossing the country, with all the rigors that entailed. So Hillary had him beat in that sense.
NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. presidential candidates are spending long days on the campaign trail and their nights in a succession of budget hotels, often in small towns. Not Donald Trump.
After nearly every rally, the billionaire real estate developer hops into one of his planes or helicopters and returns to New York so that he can sleep in his own bed in his marble-and-gold-furnished Trump Tower apartment in Manhattan.
In November and December, Trump held six rallies in Iowa, visited a local production plant and held one town hall, flying home each night. His nearest rival for the Republican nomination, Ted Cruz, has zigzagged around the state, holding around a dozen town halls and twice as many "meet-and-greet" sessions, and bedding down between stops in hotels.
Trump’s determination to sleep at home every night raises eyebrows among election campaign veterans, who say it could cost him. Voters in Iowa and New Hampshire often want more personal attention; they feel they play a special role in choosing presidential nominees because their contests are held first.

He really fooled the flyover country rubes, for decades people in NYC has known don as a conman who had ties to the mob and who went bankrupt many times
leadership?
Yes. It’s called the Goldwater Rule.
“The Goldwater rule is the informal name given to section 7 in the American Psychiatric Association's (APA) Principles of Medical Ethics,[1] which states that it is unethical for psychiatrists to give a professional opinion about public figures whom they have not examined in person, and from whom they have not obtained consent to discuss their mental health in public statements.”

Heff must have forgotten all the cyber-diagnoses of Hillary without clinical testing.
What is your point? Are you trying to equate a group of anonymous posters on an obscure message board, discussing observable problems with the POTUS, with one of us being a licensed physician diagnosing that same individual with a specific condition?
This is distraction. You cannot rebut the fact that Trump's mental acuity is in decline, so you've gone off on a tangent.
I know. I thought of bringing that up, but the Hillary Card has been overplayed.
No, I didn’t mean to deflect. I just assumed a former professional might still hold some ethical standards.
But still, without a clinical evaluation all you have is speculation. I have no problem with speculation, but often it leads to conspiracy theories.
If trump start falling fainting at public events, you might have a point, but you don’t.
Why are you so fucking stupid?
Trump wrote the report himself last time, retard.
obese doesn't get you a clean bill of health but again you have to be educated to understand this

One faint, while she was battling pneumonia.
I don't do conspiracy theories. Not sure how Trump's easily-shown decline in speaking ability could translate into one. Taking an educated guess at possible causes has nothing to do with professional ethics, but thanks for your concern.
I'm curious -- did you or anyone you know speculate about Hillary's mental and/or physical health during the 2016 campaign? I recall hearing that she was afflicted with everything from stroke to alcoholism to dementia, according to your RW pundits.
Battling pneumonia while still campaigning... and NOT flying home every night to sleep in her own bed.
