Former president and GOP nominee Donald Trump has declared in an exclusive TV interview that he will make his medical records public as he competes against Vice President Kamala Harris in the race for the White House. Speaking with CBS News political correspondent Caitlin Huey-Burns in Pennsylvania on Monday, Trump, aged 78, also defended his previous insults directed at Harris' intelligence and expressed his willingness to accept the election outcome if he believes the process is "free and fair."
When asked about the release of his medical records to the public, Trump responded, "Oh sure, I would do that very gladly, sure." He denied suffering from any post-traumatic stress disorder or experiencing any lasting effects following an attempted attack on his life at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, where a bullet grazed his ear. Trump revealed that he had recently undergone a medical examination and obtained a "perfect score" along with successfully completing two cognitive tests.
I got everything right, and one of the doctors said, 'I've never seen that before, where you get everything right.' No, I have no problem. I'd go a step further, I think anybody that runs for president, whether they're 75 or 65 or 45, I think should take a cognitive test.
Trump extended his proposal for all presidential candidates to undergo cognitive tests, regardless of their age.
Despite his previous insults about Harris' intelligence, Trump maintains that his message focuses on critiquing the current administration's performance rather than personal attacks. Trump highlighted issues such as the state of the economy and inflation, emphasizing his desire to get the country back on track. However, when pressed for specific evidence or examples regarding Harris' intellect, Trump could not provide any substantial proof.
Regarding the election, Trump claimed that he would accept the results of a fair and free election, drawing attention to the importance of an honorable process. However, it should be noted that after his loss to Joe Biden in November 2020, Trump initially disputed the results of the election, casting doubt on its credibility and integrity. Despite his own top security officials insisting it was the most secure election in history, Trump has continued to undermine its legitimacy.
In concluding the interview, Trump reaffirmed his commitment to honorably accepting the election outcome if it is deemed to be fair and free. He stressed his belief that if such conditions are met, there would be no one more honorable than him.
It is crucial to mention that in May, Trump was convicted of felonies in New York for his involvement in a hush money payment made to an adult film star shortly before the 2016 presidential election. Additionally, he faces other criminal charges related to an alleged scheme to interfere with the peaceful transfer of power after losing the 2020 election to Joe Biden. Trump has pleaded not guilty to these charges.
As the race for the White House intensifies, the release of Trump's medical records and his statements on accepting the election outcome will likely become focal points of discussion and scrutiny as voters evaluate the candidates' suitability for the highest office in the nation.
