Donald Trump today announced that he will release medical records which will prove his “perfection” and “great genes.” Business Insider points to the reason for today’s promise:
Earlier in the morning, Politico’s Ben Schreckinger published a story critical of Trump for not releasing his health records despite once saying that all presidential candidates should do so. Several of Trump’s rivals have already released summaries of their health records. The Politico report raised questions about Trump’s health. “If elected, the businessman would take office at the age of 70, making him the oldest person ever to ascend to the presidency,” Schreckinger wrote. “Over the course of his presidential campaign, Trump has said that he does not exercise or play sports regularly and that he eats whatever he wants – a diet heavy on bacon and steak.”
