Trump’s age and health under renewed scrutiny after Biden’s exit
The Washington Post ^ | July 22, 2024 at 3:31 p.m. EDT | Michael Kranish

After weeks of intense focus on President Biden’s health and age that ended with his withdrawal from the campaign on Sunday, the script has flipped: Former president Donald Trump is now the oldest presidential candidate in history — and one who has been less transparent about his medical condition than his former opponent.

Trump, a 78-year-old with a history of heart disease and obesity, according to experts, has not shared any updated bloodwork results or other specific information during this campaign to help experts assess his ongoing medical risks.

Instead, he has released a vague, three-paragraph letter from his primary care physician, Bruce A. Aronwald, who wrote in November that the former president was in excellent physical and mental health, and who later said in a statement released by campaign officials to The Washington Post that “there is no need for President Trump to release another medical report in addition to the one he recently made public.”

Seven days after the attempted assassination against him on July 13, Trump released a letter from his former White House physician, Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Tex.), who described treating a two-centimeter-wide wound to Trump’s right ear and said he had a CT scan of his head and other tests but did not release the results. Jackson said in the letter that Trump was initially treated by the medical staff at Butler Memorial Hospital in Butler, Pa., and that he saw the former president later that night at the Trump’s golf course in Bedminster, N.J. Jackson, who is one of Trump’s most loyal supporters, did not respond to a request for comment. A hospital spokesman could not be immediately reached for comment.

The Washington Post is a fake news outlet. Every word it publishes either a lie or projection. Article presented for the benefit of people who want to know what their enemy is up, not for people who want to stick their heads up their Obamas and pretend it is nighttime.

I’d say Donald Trump is FAR healthier than Xiden despite the assassination attempt.

I think they’ve mixed up who sucked in the last debate . . .

Oh Please.

He just stood up after having been SHOT, and then attended a Four day Convention, and did a big ralley after that. He’s more vigorous than I am, and I’m 7 years younger.

There is no parody between biden and trump

Trump golfs 425 hours and gives two hour speeches

Covid got joe but an assassin’s bullet couldn’t get trump

The author is nothing more than an obnoxious adolescent

They want him on defensive instead of attack. He needs to ignore this rubbish.

I imagine that when people are shooting at you, yes, your health might be under some scrutiny.

Other than people trying to kill him, Trump seems to me to be vibrant and with it. But tell you what WaPo, if he breaks out in uncontrolled cackling, we will worry about it then, kay.

FJB being 81 is equivalent to President Trump being 55.

FJB wouldn’t have stood up and raised his fist, yell fight, fight, fight. He would have soiled his depends.

Trump has no history of heart disease that I have ever heard of. This liar needs to be sued.

Butler, PA was CWII's Fort Sumter, except most Americans don't realize it yet.

I don't see any way of avoiding it this November.

“Trump’s age and health under renewed scrutiny after Biden’s exit”

FINE - Kick Trump out and then Vance takes over and hands Ukraine to Europe to deal with (which he’s quite clear on), which means a FORMAL SURRENDER TO RUSSIA and the European ‘leaders’ can then try to explain to their voters what the hell they were trying to accomplish by starting this war in the first place.

Perhaps it’s best that the Leftists in the Media STEP BACK and try to cut their losses, which means rolling the dice with Trump, who seems to be at least open-minded to listening to both sides.
