Today is President Biden’s 79th birthday - making him the oldest sitting President in American history. And, for a man his age, he’s got a pretty good bill of health. #velshi

We know this because President Biden went for a physical yesterday and his doctor released a very detailed, very honest summary of the President’s health. #velshi

It reads exactly as you’d expect a health report to read. Lots of medical jargon, but easy enough to understand if you don’t have a medical degree. It’s incredibly transparent: Joe Biden is not in perfect shape, but he’s everything you’d expect a 79 yr old man to be. #velshi

Why is this such a big deal? Because after 4 years of lies and lunacy it’s worth acknowledging these small interventions of normalcy and honesty. Remember that first physical Donald Trump had after he was inaugurated? #velshi

People in their mid-seventies usually have SOME health issues. Except...for Donald Trump, apparently. Joe Biden’s physician, Dr. Kevin O’ Connor, released 6 pages worth of scientific records. Honestly, some might even consider it Too Much Information. #velshi

Meanwhile Donald Trump’s physician - the bizarre, now Congressman, Dr. Ronny Jackson - at first released a 33-word statement, before going into yet more bizarre detail at a press conference. #velshi

Let’s look at Joe Biden’s medical marks. Right off the bat, Dr. O’ Connor reveals that President Biden, “has experienced increasing frequency and severity of “throat-clearing” and coughing during speaking engagements…” #velshi

“…He has exhibited such symptoms for as long as I’ve known him, but they certainly seem to be more frequent & more pronounced over the last few months." Compare that to Dr. Jackson’s original statement on Trump’s health: “He has a lot of energy & a lot of stamina.” #velshi

Back to Biden. He’s got what they call a stiff gait, in other words, stiffness in his leg or foot. The report reads, “the team concluded that much of the stiffness is in fact the result of “wear and tear” of the spine.” #velshi

Again, seems pretty normal for a 79 yr old, but it feels novel to hear this honest assessment of our President’s health. It’s probably because when Dr. Ronny Jackson was asked about Trump’s medical status he said… #velshi

“I told the President that if he had a healthier diet over the last 20 yrs he might live to be 200 years old.” Wouldn’t that be something? Donald Trump living to be 200 years. President Biden also underwent a routine colonoscopy yesterday. #velshi

Dr. O’ Connor, Biden’s doctor, wrote, “several small diverticula were noted, as anticipated. Additionally, a single, 3 mm benign-appearing polyp was identified in the ascending colon” & it was removed without difficulty. Straight to the point. No exaggerations. #velshi

This was Dr. Ronny Jackson’s explanation for how Donald Trump kept such sterling health.
“He has incredibly good genes, and it’s just the way God made him. #velshi

You see, there’s transparency…and then there’s Donald Trump and his whack doctor. Everyone in Donald Trump's orbit fell into the vortex of exaggeration, obfuscation and hyperbole. Even something as simple as a physical exam was sprinkled with white lies. #velshi

For four years - and counting - America has been playing an eternal game of hide-and-seek. Donald Trump hides the truth while the rest of us fight to defend it. Tax returns? Never seen them. January 6th? The former liar-in-chief won’t give up his records. #velshi

Let’s not forget, Trump spent 3 days at Walter Reed Medical Center last year, battling covid, at the height of the pandemic & we *still* don’t really know what happened, except that he made Secret Service members drive him around so he could wave at his supporters. #velshi

OK maybe I'm being a bit harsh. Donald Trump didn't tell us NOTHING about his physical or mental health. #velshi

There was this 1 demonstration of Trump's mental acuity: "Like you’ll go: person, woman, man, camera, tv. And so, they’ll say, can you repeat that? So I said, yea, person, woman, man, camera, tv. Okay that’s very good, if you get it in order you get extra points...” #velshi

“…They say how that’s amazing. How did you do that? I said because I have like a good memory. Because I’m cognitively there.” I guess we should have just taken his word for it. #velshi
