President Donald Trump is “fit for duty” and should remain so through his presidency, according to presidential physician Rear Admiral Ronny Jackson, who examined the president last week amid criticism that the 71-year-old commander-in-chief may be unfit for office.
Jackson said a screening of Trump’s cognitive function -- to look for signs of dementia or Alzheimer’s disease -- was normal. Jackson said he didn’t think such an exam was necessary but conducted it at Trump’s request.
