2. I don't think it's particularly concerning that he's

checked out more than once a year. He's 79 and obviously has issues. Many of us are over 50 w/issues.

The concern is definitely what they're leaving out. So far, we know they have done cognitive tests and he has venous insufficiency. I know a little about vein issues because I had a blood clot myself (attributed mainly to birth control). So, I start wondering if he has had any dvt's (clots), if so the seriousness of such an event. Where he is overall with his heart because serious clots can put pressure on your heart, etc.

"Doctors who reviewed Trump's physical say the report lacks the cardiovascular details that should be standard for a 79-year-old president." -- this is where I'd be concerned as well, just as a fellow citizen who has dealt with this, at a far younger age than Trump. Hopefully they've at least gone over the results with JV so he's ready when he has to take over.
