USA: President Trump in pretty good health despite what some are saying

In case you have been wondering about President Trumps health?

Dr. Bornstein, who has been President Trump's personal physician for more than 35 years told the New York Times that Trump takes a statin to maintain a healthy rate for his cholesterol and lipid levels, antibiotics to combat a skin condition known as rosacea, and Propecia, a prostate drug that promotes hair growth,

Bornstein believes Trump is healthy and his medical care is “exactly up to date.”

As to his mental health: "Trump i is not mentally ill but an undisputed "poster boy for narcissism", says Allen Frances, M.D., former chair of the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Duke Universy. 

"He demonstrates in pure form every single symptom described in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) criteria for narcissistic personality disorder, says Frances . But lots of successful people are extremely narcissistic without being mentally ill." 

"To qualify for narcissistic personality disorder, an individual’s selfish, unempathetic preening must be accompanied by significant distress or impairment. Trump certainly causes severe distress and impairment in others, but his narcissism doesn’t seem to affect him that way."
