“New Hampshire will be the state that pushes us over the top”.

“There’s the want to do something among traveling press of course – being constantly mocked and demonized is very bad – but there’s the competing feeling that news organizations have nearly let too much slide to have any bargaining power at this point”, said a third member of Trump’s traveling press corps. The campaigns of both Trump and Clinton, 68, have said that their candidates would be releasing detailed medical records in the coming days. “They called us and said, ‘could you wait!’ I said ‘absolutely not, ‘ let’s get going!” Nonetheless, Democrats have tried to make an issue of Trump’s health and taxes after Mrs. Clinton collapsed and the campaign was caught lying about after a video surfaced on Twitter showing the event.
In a move straight out of The Apprentice television show, presidential hopeful Donald Trump surprised Dr. Oz and audience members with a one-page summary of his recent health report.
The New York magnate made part of his medical history public on the program, which was taped on Wednesday, one day after Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton had released key details of her own health status.
The aides said that the physical exam Trump shared was performed last week by Dr. Harold Bornstein, Trump’s personal physician who in a letter previous year proclaimed that Trump would be the “healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency”.
Trump takes a lipid lowering agent for his cholesterol and a low dose of aspirin, Bornstein said. He doesn’t use tobacco or alcohol.
Trump reportedly set a goal of losing 15 to 20 pounds in Wednesday’s interview. I said absolutely not.
The appearance with Oz came hours before Trump was to visit Flint, Michigan to condemn the government failure which led to that city’s water crisis. A colonoscopy on July 11 revealed no polyps.
The results in the letter were from a physical exam conducted by Bornstein on September 9, according to the campaign.
Presumably thanks to the drugs, Trump’s cholesterol level is now normal.
The letter from Bornstein they discussed and that was released publicly on Thursday was, stylistically, a radical departure from the letter Trump’s doc wrote in December, which stated in that Trump was in “astonishingly excellent” health.

The letter was written by Dr. Harold Bornstein, of New York’s Lenox Hospital. It notably does not repeat the widely derided claim that the 70-year-old Trump would be the healthiest person ever elected president.
