DEVASTATING NEWS ON TRUMP LEAVES …
Former President Donald Trump released a brief health report from his doctor, Dr. Bruce Aronwald, asserting that his health is “excellent” and noting weight loss attributed to an “improved diet” and regular exercise.
However, the report lacks critical specifics, such as Trump’s weight, blood pressure, cholesterol levels, prescriptions, and the exact amount of weight lost.
Historically, Trump’s health reports have been vague, often including exaggerated claims, such as being the “healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency,” while omitting important details. In contrast, President Biden provides more comprehensive health reports, though they have not fully alleviated concerns about his age and overall health.
Both Trump and Biden face scrutiny regarding their capability to serve another term due to their age, with polls indicating voter concerns about their fitness for the presidency. Trump has particularly emphasized his cognitive test results as evidence of his mental acuity.
