Before the show, Mr Trump’s campaign released the latest letter from Dr Bornstein in which he said that the Republican candidate, who would be the oldest United States president elected if he won the November 8th election, was “in excellent physical health”.

The letter from Harold N. Bornstein, a Manhattan doctor who has treated Trump since 1980, said the Republican presidential nominee takes low-dose aspirin and a statin drug to lower his cholesterol.
The show, which airs Thursday, includes a full review of Mr. Trump’s systems, including the nervous system, head and neck, hormone levels, cardiovascular health, respiratory health, gastrointestinal health, bladder or prostate health, dermatological health, history of cancer and family medical history, according to a news release from the show. Both shared a little more information this week after Clinton’s pneumonia diagnosis that caused her to miss campaign appearances.
Trump has sometimes stumbled when it comes to reproductive health issues.
When Trump’s 34-year-old daughter joined him on the program to discuss his childcare platform, her father kissed her on the cheek. The campaign released a similar health letter in 2015, describing Clinton’s medical history and medical conditions – she has seasonal allergies and an under-active thyroid.
Laboratory results show cholesterol well in the normal range (169 with HDL cholesterol at 63, LDL at 94). Trump said he has been at least a little overweight for most of his life and he would like to lose about 15 pounds. Trump also had a normal echocardiogram and chest X-ray, although it was not clear why these tests were performed.
At 6-foot-3 and 236 pounds, Trump’s body mass index is 29.5, which means he is overweight. He has been hospitalized only once, when he received an appendectomy when he was 11 years old. “People are amazed because I don’t get much with the colds”, he said. “And I would say it should not be a prescription, it should not be done by prescription.You have women that just aren’t able to go get a prescription”.
“And we want her better”. And despite the fact that Trump would be the oldest person ever elected president, the Republican nominee assured the world famous heart surgeon that he is as sprightly as ever.
When US presidential candidate Donald Trump looks in the mirror, he says he sees a man of 35 looking back.

Trump has long argued that Clinton lacks the “strength and stamina” to be president, a phrase that critics have called misogynistic.
