President Donald Trump seemed to address questions over his health on Sunday as he gave a shoutout to Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Texas), who was his physician during his first term in office.
“He was my doctor in the White House and I got to know him very well. He was also the doctor for Barack Hussein Obama. Have you heard of him? That he was a doctor for a man named Bush,” he said at a rally-style speech to thousands of sailors at a U.S. Navy celebration.
Jackson was part of the White House medical team under then-President George W. Bush, and eventually became physician to the president under both Obama and Trump.
Trump said Jackson ranked him above the others.
“At a press conference, they asked him: ‘Who’s in the best shape? Who’s the healthiest? Who’s the strongest? Who’s the best physical specimen of the three?’” Trump said. “He said, ‘That’s easy. President Donald Trump.’”
