Dr. Jackson's praise for 'Trump's incredible genes'

Jackson, who joined the White House medical team in 2006 has served three presidents  - George Bush Jr., Barack Obama, and Donald Trump. In his first annual physical exam of Trump, Jackson had stated that 'Trump had incredible genes'  and that 'he had done exceedingly well on a cognitive test, before adding 'if he had adhered to a better diet over the past 20 years, he could have lived to be 200'. In his recent interview, Dr. Jackson said that he could not achieve his aim to make President Trump lose 10-15 pounds.   

Trump, who was impressed by Dr. Jackson had shortly after nominated Dr. Jackson to head the Veteran Affairs department. His nomination was dropped after allegations were levelled against Jackson for over-dispensing drugs to political aides and lawmakers that his nickname was “Candyman". In 2018, Jackson withdrew his nomination and returned to duty with the White House Medical Unit but did not serve as Physician to the President.
