Trump said Monday he was planning to release detailed health information from the new physical exam in the coming days, following Hillary Clinton’s health scare at the September 11 memorial service and revelations that she was diagnosed with pneumonia.
Trump Jr. also said that as a Republican running as an outsider, “every day, everyone’s throwing everything they could possibly throw at him”.
Hillary Clinton is “recovering well” from pneumonia and remains “fit to serve as President of the United States”, her doctor said in a letter released Wednesday by her campaign.

The Republican candidate had a conversation on his health, Trump told the results of a physical last week, a short clip from this TV program was released by the show’s publicists a bit later.

Mrs Clinton’s health scare forced her to cancel a two-day swing through California earlier this week and send her husband, former President Bill Clinton, to a Las Vegas campaign rally in her stead. Lab results in the letter show normal levels of cholesterol and blood sugar. The difference is significant because 267 pounds would make Trump obese, although he would fall well short of the 354 pounds of former president William Taft at his inauguration. Trump, who is tall at 1.9 meters (6 feet 3 inches), said he weighs 107 kilograms (236 pounds), which is overweight by USA health care standards. Dr. Oz pointed out that Trump, if elected, would be the oldest person to enter the Oval Office.
