November 21st 2023.
On Monday, ex-President Donald Trump shared a health report from his personal physician, Dr. Bruce Aronwald, in what seemed to be an attempt to contrast himself from his successor and potentially 2024 opponent, Joe Biden, on the latter's 81st birthday.
The single-page report, dated November 20, stated that Trump has "reduced his weight through an improved diet and continued daily activity, while maintaining a rigorous schedule". Dr. Aronwald also noted that the most recent laboratory examinations showed "favorable" results in "some of the most significant parameters, most likely secondary to weight reduction".
Moreover, Trump's cognitive exams were said to be "exceptional", and Dr. Aronwald concluded that Trump is in "excellent health" and will continue to enjoy a "healthy active lifestyle for years to come". The report did not include any numbers or detailed descriptions of his health measurements.
Trump's improved diet seems to be a departure from his days as President, when he was known to consume many items from McDonald's and even ordered fast food for visiting guests.
In response to the report, President Biden spent the morning of his 81st birthday at the White House turkey pardoning event and posted on Threads: “I turned 81 and all I got was a new social platform! Thanks for the well-wishes, folks. And to the workers at the birthday candle factory, I hope your union got you overtime.”
The comparison between Trump and Biden's ages has many Americans feeling that Biden is not fit to serve another presidential term. This sentiment was echoed in a recent Yahoo News/YouGov poll which showed that 54% of respondents felt Biden does not have "the competence to carry out the job of president". The poll also had Biden trailing Trump in the 2024 election, 42% to 44%.
