A man goes in to see his doctor and his doctor says he has bad news and worse news. The man is forlorn and says let's hear it.

The doctor says you have incurable cancer and have only 8 months to live. The patient says, OMG that's awful, what's the bad news, the doctor says that was the bad news, the worse news is I should have told you that 6 months ago.

I bring that up because Trump always wants his people to tell him what he wants to hear. I wonder if that applies to his doctors also?

If a doctor tells him he has cancer would he fire the doctor and hire another one who tells him he is in perfect health?

I'm one year younger than Krasnov and I try to ride my exercise bike for an hour every day. A physical therapist once told me, "motion is lotion."
