United States presidential hopeful Donald Trump has handed over a one-page summary of a recent physical examination on a doctor’s television show – but his campaign will not reveal what was disclosed.

Hillary Clinton’s health recently has made news in the wake of a pneumonia diagnosis she did not initially disclose, but that caused her to leave a September 11memorial early and become dizzy and stumble while walking to her motorcade.
Trump shared the results of a recent physical exam during a taping of the talk show, with Oz reading from a summary of exam results that Trump is 6-foot, 3-inches tall and weighs 236 pounds.
The TV appearance gives the appearance of transparency, but the summary by Dr. Bornstein will fall far short of experts’ calls for detailed information about Trump’s health and medical history. Trump also said “never has a need to go to a hospital because he’s too healthy”.
Clinton temporarily withdrew from the campaign trail after stumbling as she left a 9/11 memorial service in New York City on Sunday. His campaign said Trump was releasing “medical records”, as many other White House contenders have done, but Trump disclosed nothing beyond the one-page note. Clinton plans to resume campaigning on Thursday, her spokesman said.
According to Platt, Oz said his interpretation of the letter from Bornstein is that Trump has no health issues.
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. “You know, when I’m speaking in front of 15, 20,000 people and I’m up there using a lot of motion, I guess in its own way it’s a pretty healthy act”.
But while Dr Bornstein says there is “no family history of premature cardiac or neoplastic disease”, he says that Mr Trump “takes a lipid lowering agent (rosuvastatin) and a low dose aspirin”. It was the second Bronstein wrote addressing Trump’s health.
Trump would like to lose some weight.
The document will be released once Pence’s doctor has finished compiling it. Lotter reportedly said Pence had always planned to release his medical records.
