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.

How many rounds of golf did Biden play during his presidency?

Renewed scrutiny ONLY because the Hyena has very little to run on, SURELY NOT HER RECORD..

Trump could run circles around the Hyena in a high level cabinet meeting or any meeting with foreign leaders.

Biden called into Kamala’s DE campaign HQ today, and he sounded like he either had novocaine or a stroke.

Remember that Amazon owns the Washington compost. You are supporting this crap when you buy from Amazon. Amazon is my last recourse; there are a plethora of other online retailers you can use.

I love your disclaimer for these articles. I read these all the time. It is better to know your enemy as much as you know yourself.

When Biden finally speaks (reads his teleprompter), he’ll highlight his age vs his dementia and link it to President Trump’s age, being the trash that he is.

Kamala does wear depends, but it’s for the damage her nether regions have endured to support her resume.

HAHAHAHA.... Can they be more transparent. Years of defending Biden’s age and now Trump’s age is a problem?

Now do Pelosi, Schumer, Mad Maxine, Clyburn, Bernie, and every other geriatric democrat.

The DC Compost didn’t care one minute about Biden’s obvious cognitive deline back in 2020, and wouldn’t of said anything about it until his disastrous debate where the whole world saw it for themselves. Now they want to know every detail of Trump’s health.

The media has been covering up for physically sick Democrat presidents going all the way back to FDR with his advanced heart disease and JFK’s Addison’s Disease.

Are we seriously going to bounce reporting from “he tried to take the wheel from the SS” to this? I thought Trump was carrying the five agents down those stairs.
