Recently, the White House physician, Dr. Ronny L. Jackson, addressed the public in a press conference, claiming that the results of 45’s physical suggest that he’s in “excellent health,” seemingly because of “incredible genes.” And he said all of this with a straight face.

The internet erupted in disbelief, birthing the term “girther” in response. It’s a play on “Birther,” the term assigned to Trump and others who demanded to see former President Barack Obama’s birth certificate after claiming that he was born in Kenya (there’s also #AlternativeFats, which is equally delightful).

Check out this week’s Judge of Characters, which mostly judges the lies spewing from Trump and ’nem.
