    Dr. Jackson is a good and honorable person, fine doctor and career military but you do get the sense that this has as much to do with his boffo press conference on the president’s physical as anything else.https://twitter.com/philiprucker/status/979112079671091200 …

    The VA is arguably the federal government’s most chronically mismanaged bureaucracy. Trump has tapped to helm it a uniformed physician who, though well credentialed in medicine, has no apparent management experience.

        Clearly he meets the number one Trump requirement: being willing and able to lie on request.

        Honorable? He is now tarnished. Beginning with the medical report and his so-called 'boffo' press conference and now being part of this Administration.

        And allowing Trump himself to pick the cognitive screening test that was "administered" - which is clinically inappropriate.

        .@DMRDynamics of course no one believes the 239 pounds thing. Since patient records are confidential, would Dr. Jackson be in a position of being forced to lie? Obama liked Jackson but the medical exam summary causes me to worry about Dr. Jackson’s veracity.

        Jackson has an excellent reputation but his “report” re: Trump, IMO, was clinically suspect (to put it diplomatically).
