Donald Trump withholds medical records despite previous promises

Despite previous assurances, former President Donald J. Trump continues to hide his medical records from the public. This continued secrecy raises concerns especially as he runs for office again, potentially becoming the oldest president in history by the end of his term. His refusal to share even the most basic health information remains a point of contention.

During his 2015 presidential campaign, Trump was reluctant to share his medical history, opting instead to release a brief statement from his doctor saying he would be “the healthiest individual ever elected president.” His health again became the subject of intense speculation in 2020, when he was treated for COVID-19. At the time, the limited information provided by his medical team later turned out to be an understatement of his true serious condition.

In the latest development of 2024, shortly before his confirmation as the Republican candidate for a third presidential run, Trump experienced an assassination attempt. Despite this serious incident, his campaign chose not to conduct a medical briefing, release detailed hospital reports or allow treating doctors to speak publicly.

This pattern of withholding health-related information contradicts his previous assurances and continues to generate discussion and concern as he seeks another term.
