The results of the annual presidential physical exam are in and Donald Trump has been declared “fit for duty” by the presidential physician, Ronny Jackson.

The navy doctor delivered the assessment at an hour-long press conference at the White House on Tuesday, saying the president’s health was “excellent”, his mind was “sharp” and that he needed only four or five hours’ sleep a night.



Asked how the president could be so healthy given his age and reported predilection for junk food, cable TV and a largely sedentary lifestyle, Jackson responded: “Some people have just great genes.”



According to Jackson, the checkup included a cognitive assessment at Trump’s own request, and the self-proclaimed “stable genius” performed “exceedingly well”.



He achieved a perfect score of 30 out of 30 on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (Moca), a test that screens for illnesses such as Alzheimer’s and dementia.
