Donald Trump Changes Mind, Won’t Release Medical Records Yet

by Guest Post

After planning to release his medical records on a show with Dr. Oz, Republican nominee has changed course. As reported by The New York Times:

Donald J. Trump on Wednesday scrapped his previously announced plan to go over results from his most recent physical examination in a taped appearance with the television celebrity Dr. Mehmet Oz, aides to the Republican presidential nominee said.

Instead, Mr. Trump, 70, will appear on the “Dr. Oz Show,” but the two men will have a general discussion about health and wellness, not one anchored to the fitness of one of the two major candidates for president…

[T]he appearance on Dr. Oz’s show, announced on Friday, had been anticipated as a potential breakthrough, as Mr. Trump’s aides had said that over the next few days he would release results from a physical examination taken last week. It was unclear when those results will be available after the change in approach with Dr. Oz.

The Trump team previously stated that the results would be released “this week,” but now only say they will be released “soon.” Instead of discussing his medical exam results with Oz, Trump now plans instead to discuss the benefits of “positive thinking.”
