Former President Donald Trump recently released a health report from his doctor, Dr. Bruce Aronwald. While the report claims Trump’s health is “excellent” and highlights weight loss as a result of an improved diet and exercise, it fails to provide important specifics. Details such as Trump’s weight, blood pressure, cholesterol levels, prescribed medications, and the amount of weight lost are notably absent from the report.
This is not the first time Trump’s health reports have been lacking crucial information. In the past, his doctors have made vague claims about his health, even going as far as stating that he is the “healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency.” These omissions have raised questions and concerns among the public.
In contrast, President Biden has been more transparent about his health. He regularly releases detailed health reports, although concerns about his age and health still persist among some voters.
The issue of age and fitness for the presidency has been raised for both Trump and Biden. Polls have shown that voters have concerns about whether these candidates are capable of serving another term, given their age. Trump has particularly emphasized his cognitive test performance as evidence of his mental sharpness.
The public deserves transparency when it comes to the health of those who hold or aspire to hold the highest office in the country. Providing comprehensive and specific health reports would help alleviate concerns and ensure that voters can make informed decisions.
