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 kind of thing that can be easily proven and not at all hyperbole .
How can you even say that with a straight face?
Lots of Botox.
“Under renewed scrutiny from us...”
Pretty soon the dems will be criticizing an ingrown toe nail.
There is no point in putting Trump under scrutiny. Any legitimate criticisms the press might actually find to make of him is drowned out by the fake news bashing that has gone on and on and on and on for years. Now people are in two camps, those morons who still trust the media and think “Orange man bad”, and the rest of us who are sick of the arrogant elites bashing a guy who did a better job bringing peace and prosperity than any of the class of political hacks and liars they push on us.
Trump is healthier than the clowns at the Washington post. He shows no signs of age related decline. Not every older person is like Joe Biden. I know many people over 75 who are as bright as they were 25 years ago. Biden was a moron who suffered many strokes before he ran for president. He was unfit for the office when he was 40 years old.
