Not that easy, either. I know because I looked it up, but maybe people want to know without having to.

Along with being a big fan of McDonalds, fried chicken, steak with ketchup, and oreos.

No, that would violate HIPAA in so many ways.

Yeah, let's go through the different ways to claim a president unfit for duty:

https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/05/presidential-disability-is-a-political-question/527703/
Section 3 of the Amendment enables a president to declare himself temporarily disabled by sending a written declaration to the president pro tempore of the Senate and the speaker of the House stating that he is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. In this case, the powers and duties of the president are transferred to the vice president, who becomes acting president, until the president sends another a written declaration that he can resume his duties. Section 3 procedures have arguably been invoked three timesonce by Ronald Reagan and twice by George W. Bushduring medical procedures.

Section 4 of the Amendment, by contrast, enables the vice president and either the principal officers of the executive departments (the Cabinet) or another body as Congress may by law provide (a disability review body) to declare the president disabled by sending their own written declaration to the Senate president pro tempore and the House speaker. The president can respond in writing that he is not in fact disabled; the vice president and Cabinet (or disability review body) then have four days to respond. Congress then has 48 hours to decide the question (or 21 days if Congress is not in session.) If two-thirds of both houses of Congress decide that the president is indeed disabled, the vice president becomes acting president; otherwise, the president remains in office.


Going through the document and looking for "doctors" the piece explains over and over again that it's not the doctor's job to declare a president unfit for duty, it's all a political process.

So yes, military fiction is wrong.

What's wrong with diet coke?

http://sites.psu.edu/siowfa16/2016/09/09/is-diet-coke-worse-than-regular-coke/

Its a well-known fact that soda has detrimental effects on your health so as an alternative many people choose to drink diet versions of their favorites such as Diet Coke, Sprite Zero, Diet Mountain Dew etc. What many people dont realize is that despite having no sugar, diet drinks contain many other chemicals some which are a lot more harmful than sugar.

A study by the University of Texas at Austin found that 59% of Americans drink diet soda regularly. I think what appeals to people about these diet drinks is the big fat 0 CALORIES printed on their labels. I mean, if a drink is calorie free then it must not be bad for you, right? Wrong. Unfortunately, diet sodas contain other addictive, dangerous and artificial sweeteners that have a serious negative impact on your health. The most common artificial sweeteners are aspartame, sucralose and saccharine.

Aspartame is much sweeter than sugar, it is used in small amounts which as a result reduces the amount of calories. It is the combination of the amino acids: aspartic acid and phenylalanine. Aspartic acid in liquid form is absorbed much quicker by the body and can cause an individual to have headaches, nausea, sleep problems and fatigue. The consumption of excessive aspartic acid could eventually lead to neuron damage in your brain which could lead to chronic illnesses, including: ALS, Parkinsons disease and Alzheimers disease. On the other hand, phenylalanine decreases the levels of serotonin in your brain which leads to depression.

Although sucralose and sugar taste extremely similar, they have one big difference: our bodies cant metabolize sucralose so it goes right through us. Our body detects that something sweet has been eaten and activates mechanisms to capture the energy that sugars usually provide but receive nothing. After some time, our body stops responding to all sugars, even the real ones from sweets and fruits! As a result, people who drink diet drinks are 34% more likely to develop metabolic syndrome (which could lead to various heart diseases as well).

Saccharine is considered to be sweeter than sugar but has a bitter aftertaste. Until 2010, anything with saccharine had a warning label on it because it was considered that dangerous. Although it has no calories, the two main potential side effects of consuming it are weight gain and diabetes. A study done with rats, showed that the group given artificially sweetened food had a slowed down metabolism, higher calorie intake and gained more weight (compared to rats given real sugar food).

To conclude, I think regular sodas might just be better than diet sodas. Excessive consumption of either one could lead to serious health issues but if youre desperately craving soda, drinking regular in a small amount is probably best. However, if you want a calorie free drink but dont want to be obese, have diabetes or rotting teeth, stick with water!

Your source is literally ALL bunk. Follow THEIR sources (there are only 3 cited) and you'll see it's just a bunch of opinion articles. Where are the studies? Nothing that article states is substantiated by actual evidence.

By the way, here is an actual source:

https://www.cancer.org/cancer/cancer-causes/aspartame.html

It's not as black and white as "this is good or bad." There's controversy over exactly how good or bad artificial sweeteners are (also depending on the sweetener, this differs). But the ones approved for human use have been found to be safe in humans through many years of study.

I'm sure Mr. Trump just drinks a bit out of a can and never does finish one. He just leaves it somewhere when he goes to a meeting or elsewhere. Then some staffer grabs that can and tosses it. When Mr. Trump wants a drink again they open a new can. The cycle continues through out the day.
If the staffer was smart they'd be selling those emptied cans on e-bay as getting your own piece of Mr. Trump.
