Mr Obama rallied the party faithful against Mr Trump at an outdoor event in Philadelphia, as Democrat nominee Hillary Clinton is recovering from pneumonia. Dr. Harold Bornstein wrote, “If elected, Mr. Trump, I can state unequivocally, will be the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency”. Bardack advised rest; Clinton continued her campaign trail travel, and a week later-last Friday-she saw Bardack again when her symptoms had worsened.

The Republican nominee, meanwhile, handed over a one-page summary of a recent physical exam to the celebrity doctor Mehmet Oz while taping an episode of Oz’s talk show. The show airs Thursday.
She then went to daughter Chelsea Clinton’s apartment and later returned to her home in Chappaqua, where campaign manager Robby Mook told CNN’s Jake Tapper she was attended to by her doctor. A letter from Bardack released July 31, 2015, said Clinton had been prescribed Lovenox, a short-acting blood thinner, when she was flying for long distances.
The letter says the illness stemmed from a bout of seasonal allergies that developed into an upper respiratory tract infection and cough.
“How much do we need to know?”
The doctor said Clinton’s blood pressure was 100/70; her heart rate came in at 70 beats per minute; her respiratory rate was 18 breaths per minute; her cholesterol was 189; and her temperature was 97.8. all within normal ranges.
Bardack said Clinton is up to date on all vaccines, including two given to help prevent pneumonia – Prevnar and Pneumovax. “She’s going to do nothing for the Hispanics”, said Trump, who himself is viewed as racist by a large portion of the electorate. She was later diagnosed with a blod clot in her skull that was discovered during routine testing while recovering from her concussion. Many of those young voters though aren’t as enthused with the option of Clinton as they were with Obama, a weakness which her campaign hopes to overcome with the deployment of him and others as surrogates.
Her campaign’s first attack ad showed children watching a compilation of Trump clips, starting with him loudly longing for “the old days” when a protester would have been “carried out in a stretcher”. “If you control the media and you’ve taken away everybody’s civil liberties, and you jail dissidents, that’s what happens”, Obama claimed, addressing the crowd at Hillary Clinton campaign event in Philadelphia. “It’s a insane time we live in, you know, when people think there’s something unusual about getting the flu”.
There’s a tradition of American presidential candidates releasing health records to reassure the public that they are physically ready to serve in the nation’s highest office. The letter said Kaine has never smoked and his alcohol use is “modest”. What should be considered, Kolodny says, is the strong campaign Clinton has run in partnership with Pennsylvania’s Democratic Senate candidate Katie McGinty and the power of the organizations such as the Service Employees International Union, which endorsed Clinton last November.
Thirty-eight percent have a favorable impression of Trump while 39 percent have a favorable impression of Clinton.
Robby Mook, Hillary for America Campaign Manager, said: “It’s fair to say the public now knows more about Hillary Clinton than almost anyone in public life”.
A forceful and somewhat frustrated President Obama characterized Donald Trump as a selfish, dictator-loving moron who is a threat to the very fabric of American democracy.
Mook added: “It begs the question: what is he trying to hide?”

But during a recording of an episode of the “Dr. Oz Show” in NY that will air on Thursday, Trump gave host Dr. Mehmet Oz a summary of a physical exam conducted last week.
