Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump and his wife Melania greet reporters in the spin room following a debate sponsored by Fox News at the Fox Theatre on March 3, 2016 in Detroit, Michigan. Bornstein states that Trump is 6’3 and 236 pounds, meaning that he would be considered overweight under the Body Mass Index.

He takes the cholesterol-lowering medication rosuvastatin and a low-dose aspirin, which keep his cholesterol level at 169. The letter said Kaine has never smoked and his alcohol use is “modest”.
“People are amazed”, Trump said, “because I don’t get much with the colds”. Trump’s campaign has said he will also release more medical information to the public. Clinton Dr. Lisa Bardack made clear, however, that she “continues to remain healthy and fit to serve as president of the United States”.
The US presidential candidate appeared on the Dr. Oz show where he talked about his medical history and was asked how old he feels.

The appearance with Oz came hours before Trump was to visit Flint, Michigan to condemn the government failure which led to that city’s water crisis.
The other doctor whose word we can take for Trump’s fitness is Dr. Harold N. Bornstein, who wrote a letter late past year praising the candidate’s lab test results as “astonishingly excellent” and stating “unequivocally” that Trump “will be the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency”.
Mr Trump released the letter following a recent physical examination by Dr Harold N Bornstein.
A detailed summary of records Trump gave Oz have not been released.
Bornstein also noted that he was trying to match Trump’s distinctive voice. But Ivanka Trump was on hand “to speak further about the child care and maternity leave initiative that the Trump campaign announced Tuesday night”, the statement said.
Trump has repeatedly called out Clinton’s “stamina” in recent months, alluding to long-held questions in conservative media circles about Clinton’s health. The cholesterol, blood pressure and blood sugar levels listed in the letter were obtained during a physical exam that Trump had on Friday, Sept. 9.
While Hillary is in the news because everyone is freaking out over nothing, Trump has decided he’s going to appear on The Dr. Oz Show to reveal details about his health. But, realistically, we might already know enough about them to cast an informed vote even before we get that information.
A day earlier, Trump had a conversation about the document with talk-show host and surgeon Mehmet Oz during a taping in NY.
Mr Trump compared himself with his friend, the American footballer Tom Brady (39), the New England Patriots quarterback: “I feel the same age as him – it’s insane”.

Lost in the coverage of Hillary Clinton’s stumble yesterday, on the anniversary of 9/11, was Donald Trump’s behavior on 9/11. Trump asked thousands of supporters on Wednesday in Canton, Ohio, where he held an event.
