Multiple audience members told CNN that Trump said he does not exercise.
It also said an EKG and chest X-ray this year were normal. Testing results showed that Trump’s cholesterol is 169 mg/dL, with his HDL level at 63 mg/dL, his LDL level at 94 mg/dL and his triglycerides at 61 mg/dL.
Hicks said Wednesday that handing over the physical results to Oz was “considered, given the timing and platform”, but the plan was “never finalized”. They said he has shown “disdain” for science and made “baseless and relentless” attacks on genetically modified foods.
Instead, Trump and Oz, would speak generally about health and wellness, Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway said on Fox News Channel’s “America’s Newsroom”. Trump flashed a sheepish grin. Bornstein has been Trump’s physician for more than three decades.
Last month, he admitted the letter was written in five minutes, while the candidate’s limousine waited on the street, The Guardian said.
However, he said he stood by his assessment. Oz did not examine Trump and only reviewed on the show what the Republican candidate chose to share with him.
A gastroenterological specialist at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York, Bornstein circulated a letter previous year attesting to Trump’s “extraordinary” health and said Trump would be “the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency”.
Trump released the letter came as Clinton, his Democratic opponent, resumed campaigning Thursday in North Carolina after a bout of pneumonia prompted her to scratch events in California and Nevada.
Trump said Monday he’s planning to release detailed health information from a new physical exam in the coming days, following Hillary Clinton’s health scare at the Spet. That episode has brought new attention to the candidates’ health and raised questions about the openness from her and Trump on the subject.
Timmons told Trump: “I invited you here to thank us for what we’ve done in Flint, not give a political speech”. Conspiracy theorists have questioned Hillary Clinton’s wellness repeatedly this summer, which was not helped by her appearing ill at a 9/11 memorial last weekend.
Clinton seized on Trump’s refusal during a speech Thursday night before the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute. But his campaign statement Thursday said his test results showed that Trump was “in excellent health, and has the stamina to endure – uninterrupted – the rigors of a punishing and unprecedented presidential campaign and, more importantly, the singularly demanding job of president”.

Trump released a separate letter from Bornstein in December, in which the physician said that his patient, if elected, would “unequivocally” be “the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency”.
