Donald Trump Scraps Plan to Discuss Medical Exam
Donald Trump Scraps Plan to Discuss Medical Exam
By MAGGIE HABERMAN 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 will appear with Dr. Oz but the two will have a general discussion about health and wellness, not one anchored to the fitness of one of the two major candidates for president.
Mr. Trump has, over many months, sought to raise questions about the health of his Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton, 68, and his supporters have flatly claimed that she is hiding something about her health (her aides have strenuously denied this.) But Mr. Trump has answered almost no questions about his own health over the last 15 months of his campaign, save for issuing a highly unusual doctor’s note.
So the appearance on “The Dr. Oz Show,” announced last 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.
When Mr. Trump sought someone in a public forum to talk about his health, he went with Dr. Oz, 56, a kindred spirit — a physician who is not only Republican, but also has spent the last decade attracting an enormous following on television.
The original release from the show about Mr. Trump’s appearance said that Mr. Trump would “share his vision for America’s health” with Dr. Oz, declaring boldly that it would be “a no-holds-barred conversation you’ll be talking about.”
In an interview with Fox News, Dr. Oz said he planned to ask “pointed questions,” but he suggested that most holds would, in fact, be barred.
“The metaphor for me is, this is a doctor’s office, the studio,” he said. “So I’m not going to ask him questions he doesn’t want to have answered, and I also don’t want to talk about anybody else.”

Just a week ago Donald Trump said that he would be releasing his Medical Records on The Doctor "OZ show." Now I wake up this morning to the news that Donald Trump would not be releasing nothing.
I asked myself this, He found out that he is not as healthy as he let on and all of this was just another scam.
