But according to conflicting accounts of a pre-recorded session of the daytime Dr Oz TV show, from which reporters were barred, Trump’s weight was revealed to be either 236lb (107kg) or 267lb (121kg) – by the first of which he would be merely “overweight”, but by the second “obese”, according to the body mass index standards of the US Centre for Disease Control.
The letter from Trump’s long-time doctor, Harold N. Bornstein, lists Trump’s weight, cholesterol, blood pressure, blood sugar and other numbers. He said he’d like to shed a few pounds and that his exercise consists of giving campaign speeches, which he called “a lot of work”. “I think it is never acceptable to use language like that”, Podesta said during a press call.
Democrats have welcomed a debate that shines new light on some of the elements cheering Trump’s candidacy.

Donald Trump on Thursday released a letter from his doctor that deemed him to be “in excellent physical health”, a day after he shared the results of a recent physical exam during a taping of “The Dr. Oz Show”.

Donald Trump Jr. sought on Thursday to clarify his remark that the media would be “warming up the gas chamber” if the Republican Party behaved the same way as the Democrats during the USA presidential campaign, saying it was a reference to capital punishment, not the Nazi-led Holocaust. In Clinton’s absence, Trump and his surrogates were free to relentlessly attack the former secretary of state with relatively little pushback.
What the report doesn’t say is when those lab results were taken, even though it gives dates for other tests referenced, and it doesn’t say that Dr. Bornstein examined Trump.
Clinton remained in her suburban NY home Wednesday as she continues to recover from pneumonia.
Bornstein said Trump has been hospitalized only once in life, when he underwent an appendectomy when he was 11 years old. Clinton later said she regretted applying that description to “half” of Trump’s backers, but stuck by her assertion that the GOP nominee has given a platform to “hateful views and voices”.
“As a society, we need to create policies that champion all parents, enabling the American family to thrive”, Ivanka Trump said before introducing her father on Tuesday night.
