“He does not use tobacco products or alcohol”, wrote Bornstein, who has overseen Trump’s health since 1980.

Trump appeared on the syndicated “Dr. Oz Show”, and shared with Oz results of a check-up he underwent last week and a letter from his personal physician. NPR’s Richard Harris has the details.
His doctor wrote in the earlier letter that Trump “will be the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency”.
Kaine also touched on Clinton’s bout with pneumonia, saying she wasn’t trying to hide the illness but that she just made a decision to try to power through it. Wednesday – the same day Oz taped his interview with Trump – the Clinton campaign released clinical summaries for both the Democratic nominee and for her running mate, Sen.
And Trump Jr. caused a firestorm when, during a Thursday interview with a Philadelphia radio station, he raised the specter of the Holocaust by saying if Republicans acted like Hillary Clinton, the media would be “warming up the gas chamber”.
Bornstein’s only other comment on Trump’s health came in December 2015.
The show airs in the U.S. on Thursday local time – in the midst of intense debate on the wellbeing of the presidential candidates, particularly the Democratic challenger Hillary Clinton who collapsed in NY on Sunday while attempting to stick to her campaign schedule, despite being diagnosed 48 hours earlier with a bout of pneumonia. What do you see?
Trump says of the “birther” movement: “I finished it”. However, in the past, Trump has talked about his brother’s battle with alcoholism and his father being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in his 80’s.
Wildes clarified that while “different media outlets” have accused Melania Trump of violating immigration laws by partaking in a Max magazine shoot in NY in 1995, “again, such reports are not supported by the facts”.
Trump’s campaign said the uproar over the comment was another example of bias among the media covering the presidential campaign.
HARRIS: That is not a realistic way to keep physically fit. Trump said he didn’t think it was necessary and, besides, if he were hospitalized, everyone would know anyway.
Republican nominee Donald Trump is in “excellent physical health”, according to a letter from his doctor. Trump is taking a cholesterol drug known by the brand name Crestor and he takes a low-dose aspirin.
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump told Dr. Mehmet Oz Thursday he wants to lose about 15 pounds, wishes he could golf more, and thinks campaigning is “a form of exercise”.
RANIT MISHORI: There is no information about his immunizations history. The Columbia University cardiovascular surgeon went through a list of medical questions with his guest, as he might while getting a patient’s medical and family history in an exam room.

Oz ran through the letter during the interview and did not say much of note about the results from the physical.
