In almost any profession that requires a physical exam, there are specifications that must be met in order to pass. For POTUS, it seems to come down mostly to a doctor’s opinion about whether someone is fit for the job. It seems reasonable that we should establish some baseline medical standards.

I can guarantee that there isn't a single doctor in the USA who would "honestly" sign off for Donald Trump to take scuba lessons. If a person isn't fit enough for a recreational scuba certification, do we really want them to have one of the most stressful jobs on the entire planet?

I get your point, but hear me out. Let them certify him and let’s let him scuba dive. See how it plays out…..

I’ll play along. Is there any evidence it can even swim?

I want to whine 😭 about how easy OW cards’re these days (in ‘76, I did 4 successive *weekends* of course & poolwork, then true ocean c/o dives; noobs now, it’s an afternoon); irrelevant to your ⏺️ I don’t believe this regime’s leedur could pass any given state’s DRIVING test. (queue toonces 🎥)

And take my word for it... there are some really unhealthy people that meet the basic standard for recreational scuba. I pulled one such person from the ocean dead once (heart attack/panic). Even those standards need to be increased. But as lax as they are, Trump wouldn't pass the exam.

So what you're saying is that he needs to go scuba diving? Is that the message here?

please be sure to include regular mental health checks in your manditory medical standards-- and maybe all these tests should be done by qualified medical persons mutually agreed upon by a 3rd-party that has nothing to do with any political parties...
