President Trump on Friday argued he’s healthier than the Navy championship football team and got his former White House doctor to agree.

The president welcomed Navy midshipmen to the White House to present them with the Commander in Chief Trophy after they defeated Army in their annual football game. He used the occasion to give shoutouts to guests who graduated from the Navy, including his former White House Dr. Ronny Jackson, who is now a congressman from Texas.

“He said, I’m the healthiest human being he’s ever seen,” Trump, 79, noted and then asked him: “Ronny – Am I healthier than these guys back here?”

“Yes sir,” Jackson shouted.

“See, this is why I like him,” Trump responded. 

Trump also noted Jackson said of him: “If he didn’t eat junk food, he’d live to 200 years old.”

“I love this guy.”
