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. The letter comes from Dr. Harold Bornstein, the New York City doctor who previously said he could “state unequivocally” that Trump would be “the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency”. “Well, I bet he won’t release them”, Oz said.

“He also revealed that at 6’3” he weighs 236 lbs., and would like to lose 15 to 20 lbs. according to an audience member interviewed by CNN.
Meanwhile, Trump agreed to come on the show last week, “long before Secretary Clinton became ill”, said Oz, and his invitation to her is still open.
Trump spokesman Jason Miller told Politico that the comments were misconstrued.
“The media has been her number one surrogate in this”, Trump Jr told 1210 WPHT radio in Philadelphia.
Clinton, on the heels of her own illness-related incident this week, released a health bulletin on Wednesday after being grounded by pneumonia at the height of the White House race.
Donald Trump frustrated his traveling press corps Thursday night by taking the stage in Laconia, New Hampshire, while reporters were still en route to the event. Foremost among them, both Trump and Oz been known to misrepresent health science. Two other aides, who were not authorized to publicly discuss internal deliberations of the campaign, said simply that the release would be soon.
What if there were embarrassing things in Trump’s records? “So I’m not going to ask him questions he doesn’t want to have answered”, Oz said, “and I also don’t want to talk about anybody else”.
Kilmeade followed up: “Oh, it’s still going to be his decision?”
He believes Trump’s health is “reflective of the fact that he’s had appropriate screening throughout the years”. Earlier this week, he announced his child care plan that would give paid time off to new mothers and make child care tax-deductible until kids turn 13.
