| | | Trump was on Dr. Oz's show in 2016, and that helped him in 2016.
Dr. Mehmet Oz said Donald Trump's medical records indicated to him that the GOP candidate was "healthy enough" to be president, based on the limited documents the candidate provided him from his physician.

"The letter I read would be typical for a person running a company, and I think that’s pretty parallel — it’s not exactly the same, but pretty parallel to what you want to have, to judge if someone is going to be healthy enough to lead you," Oz told Savannah Guthrie and Willie Geist on Thursday.
Trump taped an appearance on “The Dr. Oz Show” Wednesday, shortly before Hillary Clinton released to the media medical records about her pneumonia diagnosis and general health.
Trump's segment on the medical show will air Thursday.
 Sony Pictures TelevisionOz did not conduct any exam of Trump, 70. Instead, he reviewed only what the Republican candidate chose to give him. Trump handed Oz a letter revealing medical details from an exam conducted last week by his personal physician, Dr. Harold Bornstein. The doctor was the same person criticized for a hastily written note he penned earlier this year vouching for Trump’s heath.
Trump, who would be the oldest president inaugurated, has revealed very little about his health so far. In comparison, when John McCain ran for president, the Arizona senator released more than a thousand medical documents during his campaign.
Oz said that Trump’s doctor found him to be overweight and revealed he takes a statin medication, a drug often used to lower cholesterol, but was in good health overall. |
