Trump refuses to release medical records as concerns about him being the oldest possible president grow

Source: The Independent

11 hours ago


Since Donald Trump first emerged on the scene of American politics in 2015, he has refused to provide a glimpse into his medical records.

If Trump, 78, succeeds in November, he will become the oldest person ever to serve as president, ousting the current record-holder, Joe Biden.

When his potential second term ends, he will be 82 years old.

Despite his advanced age, Trump has refused to provide any glimpse into his records. When asked about his health in 2015, he provided a four-paragraph letter from his doctor, who claimed he would be the “healthiest person ever elected to the presidency.”

"Is he unfit to serve?" "Is dementia debilitating the Republican candidate's chances?" "Trump should end candidacy and step aside." said none of the MSM outlets.

It's about 6 pages long and quite detailed.

Here is a link to the report (a PDF that downloads automatically) :

How about releasing your MRI's and CT brain scans and other neurological testing, huh, senile, old, rotting Pumpkin Head? Let's see your medical records from Walter Reed Hospital where you were hospitalized and treated for Covid, you deceitful, lying old Fool.

Have major Dems talking about it so it might actually get on the news. Make it a blitz. Put it in ads.

We have a right to know.

(1) he is gasping for air through his mouth all of the time, you can see this very clearly on a lot of the videos out there on him;

(2) he is shuffling around, like he has issues going up and/or down a ramp, we've all seen this;

(3) his mental state is definitely shot, he's all over the map, wanders from topic to topic, just like my grandmother did, with her Alzheimer's and dementia

(4) his obesity, he's overweight. Easy to see.

(5) his eating habits, cheeseburgers out the wazoo, etc. Not healthy at all.

(6) regular sleeping habits etc. What regular habit? He's all over the map, up at all times of the night, etc.

I'm going to guess that he has high blood pressure and high cholesterol, based upon his diet and lack of exercise.

So I already ID'ed 8 things here already. If he has anything else, something else is going to have to leave his body, so it'll have room in his body to roost (just kidding here).

So, what purpose is there to not release his own health records? Obviously it's not to show how healthy he is, but it would show how ill he is, truthfully. No wonder he doesn't release anything.
