For any president to properly perform their job leading our country, both their physical and mental health are critically important.

That’s why more than 70 mental health professionals are sending a letter to Rear Admiral Ronny L. Jackson, Chief Physician to the President. They’re requesting that the presidential physical include an evaluation of Trump’s mental health along with his physical health. It’s standard practice for patients of 66 years and older, and President Trump should not be the exception to this rule. Asking the most powerful person in the world to be subjected to the same evaluation as a rank and file member of the military is just common sense.

Please join us in asking for a comprehensive evaluation of the president’s physical AND mental health.

The American people have the right to ask these tough questions, and expect an honest answer:

• Is self-described “very stable genius” Donald Trump competent enough to be near the nuclear codes?
• Can this volatile person faithfully execute his duties as President of the United States?

As the World Health Organization says, “there is no health without mental health.” These are questions every American deserves to know the answers to when President Trump undergoes his annual physical at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. And yet the White House has already said that there will be NO mental fitness evaluation.

Mental and physical health screens should be part of any physical — and for the president of the United States, these evaluations are particularly important.

Please join us in asking Rear Admiral Jackson to do right by the American people in evaluating the president’s overall health — head to toe.

Thanks,
Tom
