He spoke of his health with great confidence and said that he finds the campaign trail “very invigorating”, not exhausting.

Donald Trump spoke Wednesday at a church in Flint, Mich., to make a speech on helping where the government had failed the people of the town after a water quality crisis began in April 2014. The show said Trump’s longtime physician, Dr. Harold Bornstein, performed the routine physical and Trump provided Oz a summary of the results. For months, Trump has subtly attacked Clinton’s health, saying that the 68-year-old former secretary of state doesn’t have the “strength” or “stamina” for the presidency and accusing her of being “exhausted” and sleeping too much.
Trump was booked on the program more than a week ago, which means the plans pre-dated Clinton’s recent health scare.
Yes, that’s the same quirky gastroenterologist who wrote the ridiculous letter about Trump’s “astonishingly excellent” health.
Bornstein MD says that Mr Trump has been under his care since 6 November 1980.
“I feel as good today as I did when I was 30”, Trump said. According to the data that his doctor provided, Trump would be considered obese if he were even a few pounds heavier.
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.
Both CNN and the New York Times reported that Trump gave Oz a single sheet of paper with the results.
Trump and Oz also discussed political topics that are of interest to the “Dr. Oz Show” audience, like efforts to fight the Zika virus and Trump’s new child care policies. “They are taking questions from the audience as I understand”.
According to CNN’s report, Trump’s “surprise” disclosure was “a one-page summary of the physical exam he underwent last week”.
“What if there’s some embarrassing things on there?”
“If we are all deplorables, we are doing something right”, said Wilkerson, referencing Clinton’s recent remark that half of Trump supporters are a “basket of deplorables”.
Kilmeade followed up: “Oh, it’s still going to be his decision?”
“I also don’t want to talk about anybody else”, Oz said.
Trump’s daytime TV chat about health and wellness seemed like a savvy political stunt. Bornstein has been Trump’s physician for more than three decades.

Clinton’s immigration plan also calls for introducing immigration reform to Congress within her first 100 days – not that she would grant full citizenship to undocumented immigrants by executive actions. Later, the Clinton campaign said she had been diagnosed with pneumonia, something the press slammed the campaign for because it had not been previously disclosed.
