UPDATED: Trump Won't Release Medical Records In Interview With Dr. Oz After All

[DonViejo]

Source: Talking Points Memo

Donald Trump's campaign on Wednesday morning said that the candidate would not reveal his medical records during an interview with Dr. Mehmet Oz, despite the TV doctor's claim that he would analyze Trump's medical records on his show.

Campaign spokeswoman Hope Hicks told CNN Money that Dr. Oz would not discuss the results of Trump's recent physical during the interview set to air Thursday, and instead would discuss the Republican nominee's health habits. NBC News reported that Trump's campaign planned to release his medical records "soon."

This comes after Oz said during Brian Kilmeade's Fox News radio show on Tuesday that he would analyze Trump's medical records in the interview, which was slated to be taped Wednesday morning. But Oz also told Kilmeade that he was "not going to ask him questions he doesn’t want to have answered."

After Hillary Clinton's campaign announced that the Democratic nominee had pneumonia two days after she was diagnosed with it, Trump said Monday that his campaign would release information about his recent physical in the next few days.

UPDATE

TPM revised the headline of the article and some of the content; here are the new third through seventh paragraphs of the revised article:

Trump Camp Contradicts Dr. Oz Claim That He'll Analyze Trump Health Records

-snip-

During an interview on Fox News Wednesday morning, Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway confirmed that Trump will not release the results of his physical during his interview with Dr. Oz.

Fox Host Martha MacCallum asked Conway why the campaign will not release Trump's records on the show.

"On a TV show? I don’t think that he should —" Conway responded.

MacCalllum jumped in to ask, "But that was the original plan, wasn't it?"

"No," Conway replied."He was going to talk about the fact that he had a physical and what the results are or what the doctor may have told him to date."

[getting old in mke]

1. "not going to ask him questions he doesn’t want to have answered."

And yet it's billed as an interview instead of a campaign stop...

[William Seger]

2. Trump has cancer!

(It's lie, but spread it around anyway.)

[George II]

4. I prefer spreading that he has dementia.

[BlueStreak]

29. You don't have to spread the dementia story. Trump is spreading that one every day

Seriously, dementia is a tragic thing, but you can't let a person with Trump's minimal gfrasp on the real world run for President.

Donald Trump = LA Clippers former owner Donald Sterling.

Both need to be out of circulation and under close supervision by trained medical personnel.

[packman]

6. Or syphilis or some other STD

I like that better - speaks to his character .

[turbinetree]

11. That's what my wife said she thinks its herpes

[3catwoman3]

34. Why does she think...

...it is herpes?

[PJMcK]

14. Donald Trump is insane. Pass it on.

This has the added benefit of being true.

[SunSeeker]

3. Dr. Oz should have to report the airtime he gives Trump as a campaign contribution.

What a scam.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

7. Since he offered to Hillary too, he doesn't have to. Hillary wisely declined. . . . . nt

[DonViejo]

23. I'm surprised Trump agreed to be interviewed by a Muslim...

a Muslim Republican, but still, a Muslim

[Bradical79]

28. He probably doesn't even know -nt

[Bernardo de La Paz]

5. Release the Tax Returns. Show us the Russian loans. Show us Melania's immigration papers. . nt

[Thinkingabout]

8. Releasing his medical records is not limited to Dr Oz, I respect Dr Oz, not so much with Trump.

[Blue_Adept]

9. What a fucking asshole

And he'll get away with it, too.

[world wide wally]

10. Somehow the media will declare this another coverup by Hillary

[getagrip_already]

12. LOOK! Shiny ball over there!!!!!

He did it again.

Not one of the cable news stations is playing the newsweek article. Just the health crap and a short sidebar on the new york inquiry into the trump foundation.

Even in the top of the hour "breaking news" summary. NO mention of the newsweek article contents.

He will probably reverse himself again if anything else is dumped on him.

[sharp_stick]

13. Now is the chance

to really ramp up speculation about this asshole's health. I suggest lots of discussion about cancer, horrible blood pressure, pre-dementia, ALS and anything else you can dream up.

[gopiscrap]

27. vd

[turbinetree]

15. Didn't this doctor have a some problems with a product he was selling

and now he as a product a "con artist" coming on board for a day, that he can sell to the masses.

I just wonder if he his going to ask for the "audit" letter, that the dumpster has, saying that he is under "audit and for what year?

I mean that is a stress question, that a doctor can ask, and I just wonder if this "guy" can handle the pressure of the IRS and "all" of those charitable contributions that he supposedly has been giving out, maybe he can clarify what happened on CNN yesterday with Kellyanne & Alisyn Camerota.

I wonder if Dr. Oz can diagnose someone who is a habitual liar on tv, or does he think ratings are more important?
I say the latter, and I m no doctor

[Greywing]

16. He won't release his medical records ... they're being audited (n/t)

[longship]

17. Let's not forget about Dr. Oz himself.

Who is a bit of a scammer himself.

[kacekwl]

18. SURPRISE , SURPRISE.

More lies. After he loses o'l Ms Conway will have a job at Faux News for at least 8 years. Horrible person.

[Blue Idaho]

19. Discredited TV Celebrity interviews Preposterous Presidential Candidate

But neither will actually talk about Trump's medical records. More bullshit and subterfuge from Trump, more jackassery from OZ.

[cynzke]

20. LETS TAKE A GUESS.....!

TRUMP IS OVERWEIGHT! Does he have an exercise routine or follows a moderate diet? From a visual analysis, Trump could be suffering from high cholesterol, high blood pressure. Susceptible to heart attack or stroke. SOOOOOOOO.....more than half the citizens of this country are at risk or ACTUALLY display the common traits that lead to chronic illness and certainly most over the age of sixty. But that does not mean Trump can't improve his health. Just modify his diet, adopt a routine exercise program. No one is going to be shocked or overly concerned if this is ALL that is revealed in Trump's health records. So what is it he is hiding?

[TexasBushwhacker]

25. Even his Dr. Feelgood said he was on a statin

Which means he has/had high cholesterol. Does he have underlying heart disease? He's clearly obese and out of shape. Hillary is overweight also, but her extra weight is mostly around her hips, which is less of a risk factor than the big belly that Trump has.

[NewJeffCT]

21. He's got severe Viagra side effects?

and, since he's hefty and eats fast foods, I'm guessing high cholesterol and blood pressure as well. Though, maybe he explodes on his family and his staff so frequently that it helps keep his blood pressure down.

[maxsolomon]

22. discuss his health habits?

WHAT HEALTH HABITS?

the man is obese, >250 lbs., sleeps 4 hours a night, & uses a tanning bed every chance he gets.

[Hekate]

24. Dr Oz: now just another in a long line of Media's useful idiots giving free air time to Trump. smh

[riversedge]

26. NYTimes: Donald Trump Scraps Plan to Discuss Medical Exam

I never listen to those 'health' shows but I know lots who think highly of him. !!


Donald Trump Scraps Plan to Discuss Medical Exam

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, 70, will appear on the “Dr. Oz Show,” but the two men will have a general discussion about health and wellness, not one anchored to the fitness of one of the two major candidates for president..............

In 2015, a group of doctors called on Columbia University Medical Center to remove Dr. Oz from its faculty members because of “an egregious lack of integrity by promoting quack treatments and cures in the interest of personal financial gain.” In particular, the doctors attacked what they called Dr. Oz’s “baseless and relentless opposition to the genetic engineering of food crops.”

Dr. Oz defended himself on his show, noting that some of the protesting doctors had ties to a lobbying group for the genetically modified crop industry.

“We will not be silenced,” he said. “We will not give in.”

30. No surprise, tertiary syphilis would expose his brain damage

[Nitram]

31. High blood pressure, clogged arteries.

A heart attack or stroke waiting to happen.

[alcibiades_mystery]

32. SYPHILITIC DEMENTIA

[C Moon]

33. "Health Habits" :D That's a laugh, Oz. What a fucking sell-out joke.

I've never watched the guy, and this cements me never ever ever watching the show.

[BlueInPhilly]

35. He will release a 1-page summary

from his "most current" physical performed by.... Dr. Bornstein.

as of 12:20pm, that's what Dr. Oz said.

[3catwoman3]

36. So, just to be clear.

Trump, who knows nothing about anything, and has been seen by a GI specialist for 39 years, despite being in astonishingly good health, is going to go on television to not discuss his own health, with Dr. Oz, who, despite being in the very narrow specialty of cardiac surgery, thinks he knows everything about good health.

That oughta clear things right up.

[bora13]

37. his basket will lose up to 20%

of deplorables by November.

He is assuring everyone his basket will be light
enough for any of his aides to carry.

38. Don't believe everything you see on "Dr. Oz,"

39. I have his diagnosis...

Fat, stupid, vulgar slob with a major cholesterol blockage in his very tiny brain. If it ruptures, it might actually be an improvement.
