Trump is expected to talk more about his health on the “Dr. Oz” show that was taped Wednesday and is set to air Thursday afternoon.

Trump’s appearance on “The Dr. Oz Show” came shortly after his wife, Melania, released a letter from her immigration attorney denouncing suspicions that she worked in the country illegally in 1995.
Trump pledged on Monday he would release additional information from his primary physician after having received a physical last week.
Aides had said that Trump would not discuss the results of his recent physical with Oz, but the businessman went ahead and handed him the documents. But one of them – Kelly Platt, a pharmacist intern who said she is a Trump supporter – said Trump told Oz that he is so good at golf he could join the PGA Tour.
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. Today the Trump campaign released a doctor’s note saying Trump is in excellent health.
The doctor also reported for a second time Trump’s blood pressure (116/70) and PSA levels (0.15), both virtually unchanged from the letter released in December.
“It’s 236”, Trump said on Fox News, when asked which number was correct.
Instead Trump says he gets his exercise by appearing at campaign rallies.
“I guess I wouldn’t be talking to you right now if they were bad”, he said Thursday on Fox News’s “Fox & Friends”.
In the wake of Clinton’s health situation, Democrats are starting to challenge Trump over his health.
The audience members also learned that he lowered his cholesterol with a statin, which is a family of cholesterol-lowering drugs that millions in this nation take daily.
But since she stumbled leaving a 9/11 commemoration ceremony on Sunday morning, Trump has been careful not to question Clinton’s health directly.

Clinton was diagnosed with pneumonia last week and did not reveal her illness until almost collapsing in public last Sunday.
