On Monday, former President Donald Trump took a chance to distance himself from any health concerns, once more pushing that his health is in great condition.
The 77-year-old released a letter from his physician that praised his health, calling it “excellent” and claiming that he’s lost an unspecified amount of weight.
“I am pleased to report that President Trump’s overall health is excellent. His physical exams were well within the normal range, and his cognitive exams were exceptional,” a letter signed by Dr. Bruce Aronwald of Morristown, NJ, said.
Trump shared the letter in a post to his social media platform on Truth Social as President Joe Biden turned 81.
“Cardiovascular studies are all normal, and cancer screening tests are all negative. President Trump has reduced his weight through an improved diet and continued daily physical activity while maintaining a rigorous schedule,” the letter added.
Despite being just four years younger, Trump, like many, bashed the president for his age, claiming he is not fit for the position.
However, Trump maintains that the same can not be said for him, and in Aronwald’s letter, he claimed to have done “several comprehensive examinations” of Trump since he left office, with the most recent taking place on Sept. 13.
When Trump turned himself into officials in Georgia, his weight was listed at 215 pounds, just weeks before the September checkup.
The weight, which is self-disclosed, would be 30 pounds lighter than what was disclosed in his last White House physical.
Still, despite all his claims that he’s in tip-top shape, his opponents have claimed otherwise, with Biden and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis raising concerns about his cognitive abilities.
“The presidency is not a job for somebody that’s pushing 80 years old,” DeSantis said while on CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday. “I just think that that’s something that has been shown with Joe Biden. Father Time is undefeated. Donald Trump is not exempt from any of that.”
