However, following the taping, a press release from the show said that Trump did share some personal medical information.

In the letter released yesterday, Dr. Lisa Bardack of CareMount Medical in NY said – despite an ear and sinus infection and the pneumonia – the former secretary of state “continues to remain healthy and fit to serve as president of the United States”. “Camp now says med info coming out ‘soon.’ Monday it was ‘this week'”.
With the physical and mental health of both presidential candidates suddenly at the forefront of the 2016 election, Donald Trump took a somewhat perplexing approach to boasting about his own medical history while his opponent, Hillary Clinton, remains off the campaign trail as she recovers from pneumonia.
The exam results Trump handed Oz were from a physical performed by Dr. Harold Bornstein, the author of the infamous letter about how Trump would “be the Healthiest Individual Ever Elected to the Presidency”.
“Well, I really have no problem in doing it”.
Trump told Oz that he wants to lose weight – about 15 pounds – audience members said after the taping.
The GOP candidate and Oz reportedly talked about the Zika virus, and Trump’s proposed policies regarding child care. “He brags about eating fast food every day”.
Powell on Clinton – “everything she touches she kind of screws up with hubris…the media isn’t fooled and she’s getting crucified [on the issue of her private email server]”.
Trump has repeatedly questioned Clinton’s health and stamina, but he has not referred to her health since Sunday’s news that she had been diagnosed with pneumonia. John McCain, who was then 71 and went on to become the Republican nominee.
The statement was part of medical information Clinton’s campaign released.
“As Politico reported, Trump stands at 6’3” and said Wednesday during the show’s taping that he weighs in at 236 pounds – putting his body mass index at 29.5.
“I would just say he is still expected to release [the physical results] this week”, spokeswoman Hope Hicks told The Post Wednesday morning. On Fox News Radio’s “Kilmeade & Friends” Tuesday, Oz said he would follow directions from Trump’s team. The New York Post had raised questions about Melania Trump’s immigration status in early August, although both Melania and her husband, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, vehemently denied all allegations, including that she had worked illegally in the US while on a visitor’s visa.
“I was very impressed with Donald Trump, impressed with his health report”.
“He’s 70 years old, he’s not slim and trim”, said Senate Democratic leader of Harry Reid of Nevada.
“I think that there’s one candidate in this race who’s had recent health challenges that we all saw”, Conway said.

It remains unclear whether Oz tested Trump himself or simply read the results from the physical given by Bornstein.
