Donald Trump to Hillary Clinton: Both of us should release detailed medical records
Donald Trump late Sunday suggested on Twitter that he would release a more detailed report of his medical records if Hillary Clinton also shared a more detailed version publicly.
I think that both candidates, Crooked Hillary and myself, should release detailed medical records. I have no problem in doing so! Hillary?

Both candidates released letters from their doctors last year, but Trump has recently questioned Clinton’s “stamina” as some of his supporters, including Rudy Giuliani, promote conspiracy theories about her health.
Clinton’s doctor, Dr. Lisa Bardack of Mount Kisco, New York, said in a letter last summer that she is in “excellent physical condition and fit to serve as president of the United States.” The letter said that she had a full cardiac evaluation last year, and the result was negative. It also mentioned the concussion she suffered from in 2012, an elbow fracture in 2009 and said she has also suffered from deep vein thrombosis.
Trump released a letter from his doctor, Dr. Harold N. Bornstein of Lenox Hill Hospital in Manhattan, in December in which the physician wrote, “If elected, Mr. Trump, I can state unequivocally, will be the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency.”
The letter said that Trump had a blood pressure reading of 110/65, which the doctor called “astonishingly excellent.”
“Mr. Trump has suffered no form of cancer, has never had a hip, knee or shoulder replacement or any other orthopedic surgery,” said Dr. Bornstein, who added Trump has “no history of ever using alcohol or tobacco products.”
