The timing of this medical exam reveal is no coincidence as it comes on the heels of Hillary Clinton collapsing at a 9-11 event.

Donald Trump reportedly shared the results of a physical examination during a television appearance today, despite an earlier assertion by his campaign that no medical information would be divulged. Oz asked Trump, in a clip shown on NBC: “If your health is as strong as it seems from your systems, why not show your records?”
A Trump campaign aide said the interview will not focus on Trump’s own health, but instead on health-related political issues and the importance of exercise. “Trump said he should lose 15 to 20 pounds”, said audience member Sheldon Hosten. They also said Oz sounded generally impressed by Trump’s health. Bornstein later said the letter only took him five minutes to write.
The campaign says the additional information explains that a Clinton got a chest scan Friday that showed a “mild, non-contagious bacterial pneumonia”.
Trump’s cholesterol is 169, his blood pressure is 116 over 70 and his blood sugar is 99 milligrams per deciliter.
Trump’s daughter Ivanka then joined him to speak the campaign’s childcare and maternity leave initiative.
Trump took questions from the audience during the hour-long taping of the show and the surprises kept coming!
“I would just say he is still expected to release [the physical results] this week”, spokeswoman Hope Hicks told The Post Wednesday morning. Mr. Trump said on “Fox and Friends”.
“What if there’s some embarrassing things on there?”
“May I see them?”
Kilmeade followed up: “Oh, it’s still going to be his decision?”

What emerges is not exactly a shining picture of good health, contrary to what Trump’s physician claimed in a bombastic letter past year.
“I have no problem in doing it”.
The “Oz” appearance was also partly a pitch to female voters.
Mrs Clinton told a radio show she would not comment on emails, leaked by hackers linked to Russian intelligence groups, sent by former Secretary of State Colin Powell commenting on her health.
The letter said Clinton’s recent illness was a “mild, non-contagious bacterial pneumonia” and that she was put on 10 days of the antibiotic Levaquin and is recovering nicely.

Trump has repeatedly questioned Clinton’s health, suggesting she lacks the “stamina” for the job.
