President Trump is scheduled to undergo the second physical of his presidency on Friday, an annual checkup for a commander in chief who has maintained that he is the picture of stamina. But the Navy doctor who has been crucial to reinforcing that idea will be missing: Dr. Ronny L. Jackson, who mused about Mr. Trump’s “great genes” while delivering the results of last year’s physical, is no longer the White House physician. (Rogers, 2/7)

Trump was traveling to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center outside Washington on Friday for a follow-up to his first annual medical checkup as president. His personal physician declared him to be in "excellent health" in January 2018 after a battery of tests on his heart, lungs, gastrointestinal system and other areas. Dr. Ronny Jackson, a Navy rear admiral, then presided over an extraordinary White House news conference in which he said of Trump: "He has incredibly good genes, and it's just the way God made him."

President Donald Trump was less than thrilled last year when his personal physician recommended he get on a diet, start exercising and set a goal of losing a dozen pounds. The President famous for his love of fast food was reluctant to change his eating habits or use the White House fitness room that his most recent predecessors had used to stay in shape. But then he tasted the Dover sole prepared by the White House chefs. "He was like, 'Sh**, I have to eat healthy?' And then he had this delicious Dover sole prepared at the White House and he really liked it," one White House official said. (Diamond and Liptak, 2/7)
