Dick Cheney’s Doctor Says Trump is at Risk of a ‘Serious Cardiovascular Event’

Donald Trump’s has a horrible diet of fast food, Diet Cokes, and overcooked steaks. And now we know he loves himself a good country club omelette as well.

And despite previous boasts from Trump and his personal doctors that he’s the healthiest president in the history of the world, we now know that’s just not the case.

In fact, Trump’s recent physical revealed that the Commander in Chief is clinically obese. with a BMI of 30.4.

Now some doctors are chiming in and pointing out what they learned in Trump’s physical report.

Dick Cheney’s cardiologist Jonathan Reiner has weighed on Trump’s health, telling CNN’s Erin Burnett that, by his estimation, Trump was in danger of having a “serious cardiovascular event.”

Reiner called for an independent panel to review the president’s health, saying, “I think the time is now to create an independent panel to assess the fitness of the president.”

Reiner said, “He’s not moving in the right direction. The president’s weight has gone up, his cholesterol really hasn’t gone down very much. We know that he has coronary disease, we know that from his CAT scan last year and he’s on a train going to a destination that he does not want to arrive at.

If you don’t treat these risk factors, like high cholesterol, you don’t reduce elevated weight, and you don’t do exercise, you’re really increasing your risk of having a heart attack. I calculated the president’s risk of having a serious cardiovascular event, like a heart attack, over the next ten years, and it’s 17%.”

Reiner says Trump should adopt a healthier diet and start exercising and when Dick Cheney’s heart doctor weighs in, you listen. After all Cheney is almost as well-known for his many cardiac issues as he is for that time he shot his buddy in the face.
