Is Trump okay?

What's Trump hiding? I hope he's okay.

But, there is a growing list of worries: The seizure he had (where many of us thought he was mimicking a disabled reporter, but his campaign made it clear that was not the case), his obvious weight issue and lack of facial hair (suggesting a possible testosterone problem), the medical report that said he tested positive for everything, the trauma from his hypersexuality (called his effort to avoid STI's "my personal Vietnam&quot , the rumors that he was institutionalized for a nervous breakdown, and now this. This is all adding up to a matter of some concern.

Donald Trump backs out of Dr. Oz stunt at last minute and will not disclose results of his physical

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has reportedly had second thoughts about disclosing results of his medical examination when he appears Wednesday onThe Dr. Oz Show.

On Tuesday, Fox News host Brian Kilmeade reported that Trump would provide the results of his physical to Dr. Mehmet Oz, who would reveal the information on air.

But hours before the show taped on Wednesday, campaign spokesperson Hope Hicks told CNN’s Brian Stelter that Trump’s plans had changed.

“Instead, Trump will be talking with Oz about his physical activity, dietary habits, and broader health-related issues,” Stelter wrote.

"psychological projection" when he keeps bringing up Hillary's health as an issue.

something he does all the time. If he points out a "problem" with Hillary, you can be sure he actually has the problem (in spades, too!).

"Dr. Oz" was prepared to accept whatever Trump would tell him and not cross examine him or his records.

11. Maybe Trump didn't have a "recent" medical exam after all

Would be typical behavior for him to say he had when out he didn't. Then people will start talking about his health and he'll release records from say 3 years ago and somehow the date will be redacted or unnoticed by his supporters.

12. If his test results had come back "normal", he would have paraded them on the Dr. Oz show.

Clearly there are problems and he is going to bullshit his way through his appearance with a discussion of "family and wellness." This should raise a bigger hue and cry than Hillary's pneumonia, from which she will soon be fully recovered. Whatever it is he is hiding is undoubtedly chronic and serious, or he would be out in front peddling it. Sick Donnie, deplorable Donnie, cowardly Donnie.
