Donald Trump slammed Kamala Harris over her health records, claiming her recently revealed conditions are affecting her functioning.
Vice President Harris’ doctor released her latest physical report in an open letter Saturday, saying the candidate is in “excellent health.”
However, the former president had a different view of the analysis, which revealed that she suffers from severe seasonal allergies that can cause hives.
Around 1 a.m. ET, the former president shared a post on his social media site, Truth Social: “I just saw the Kamala Report and it’s not good.”
He concluded: “These are profoundly serious conditions that clearly affect your functioning.”
Former President Trump appeared to delve into the details of Vice President Harris’ medical report, saying her seasonal allergies and temporary hives were dangerous and suggesting she might be unfit for office.
Vice President Harris released a medical report of her most recent physical exam on Saturday, October 12, written by her primary care physician, Dr. Joshua Simmons.
To start, former President Trump focused on one part of his report: hives, better known as hives.
He stated: ‘According to your doctor’s report, you suffer from “hives”, defined as “a rash of round, red welts on the skin that are intensely itchy, sometimes with dangerous swelling.”
The hives that VP Harris suffers from are reportedly temporary raised skin rashes, similar in appearance to a large insect bite, that can be triggered by allergies, stress, or certain foods.
It’s unclear what triggers his hives, but his report shows that he suffers from seasonal allergies and is taking medication for it.
These bumps may be itchy and uncomfortable, but the The condition is not dangerous or life-threatening, according to the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology.
About 20 percent of Americans suffer from these rashes at some point in their lives, making them common.
Next, Trump took advantage of Vice President Harris’s allergies.
He said: “She also has “allergic rhinitis and allergic conjunctivitis”, a very complicated and dangerous situation.”
Allergic rhinitis and allergic conjunctivitis are terms that refer to irritation of the nose and eyes in response to a mild allergy, such as pollen or dander. In short: seasonal allergies.
An allergic reaction can be life-threatening if you have a reaction called anaphylaxis to its particular trigger.
This can cause the mouth, tongue, or throat to swell, making it difficult to breathe, or abdominal pain and fainting.
In general, according to yale medicineThese severe reactions tend to occur in response to allergies such as shellfish, peanuts, or bee stings, and do not occur with the allergies that VP Harris suffers from, which are likely in response to pollen, mold, or dust mites.
Dr. Joshua Simmons, a primary care physician at VP Harris, said she has never had a serious reaction to her allergies and instead just has an irritated nose and eyes.
He has been undergoing “allergen immunotherapy” for the past three years to reduce his sensitivity to allergens.
This involves slowly exposing yourself to increasing amounts of your allergen so that your body stops reacting as strongly. reducing eye and nose irritation. It is usually given by injection or a pill.
This therapy has been effective, Dr. Simmons said, and she only occasionally needs an over-the-counter nasal spray to treat her symptoms.
President Trump started a separate rant about X on October 14, calling into question the cognitive stability of VP Harris.
‘I think it is very important that Kamala Harris passes a test of cognitive resistance and agility. “Her actions have led many to believe that there could be something very wrong with her,” he said.
He claims that her performance during recent interviews, in which she appears “slow and lethargic” when answering questions, is evidence of mental deterioration.
The report did not include details about his cognitive abilities, but Dr. Simmons examined VP Harris’ cranial nerves, a crucial step in determining the health of the nervous system, and found that he passed.
It is not standard for a 59-year-old person to receive a cognitive test (which measures thinking, reasoning, and awareness) during a routine physical exam, like the one Dr. Simmons performed.
As far as anyone can confirm, Vice President Harris has not undergone a cognitive test.
Still, Dr. Simmons said he possesses “the physical and mental stamina necessary to successfully execute the duties of the Presidency.”
For his part, Trump infamously boasted about passing a test that detects dementia and includes drawings of animals.
The report included other details that Trump did not comment on. This included that he had normal cholesterol, heart rate, blood pressure, vitamin levels and blood sugar for someone his age.
They mentioned that she has a family history of colon cancer, which could put her at higher risk of developing the disease.
But at this point, she is being monitored for early signs of the disease and is clear.
He has no signs of diabetes, heart or lung disease, neurological disorders or osteoporosis, all common ailments of aging.
Your stable levels could be due to the lifestyle habits you maintain, which include taking vitamins, doing daily cardio and strength training, and eating a “healthy diet.”
Dr. Simmons did not detail what that diet consists of, but reports have suggested that VP Harris has a sweet tooth and consumes alcohol occasionally, both potentially unhealthy habits.
More attention has been paid to the health of presidential candidates this year after 81-year-old President Joe Biden’s poor debate performance led the public to question his mental fitness. This probably influenced his exit from the presidential race.
Still, Dr. Simmons came to a different conclusion than the former president, stating that Vice President Harris: “possesses the physical and mental stamina necessary to successfully execute the functions of the Presidency, including those of chief executive officer, head of state and commander in chief.” .’
More attention has been paid to the health of candidates in the 2024 presidential race than any other in history.
This is due in part to the attention that has been drawn to President Biden’s mental acuity after a dismal debate performance, which likely led to him dropping out of the race.
Attention has also been drawn to the physical condition of the 78-year-old former president. He has strongly denied any claims that he is unfit.
At 0:42 a.m., the former President shared a post who claimed to be in excellent health.
It said: ‘I have taken more medical tests than any other president in history and passed two cognitive tests (the doctor claimed that my “cognitive tests were exceptional”). “I’m much healthier than Clinton, Bush, Obama, Biden, but especially Kamala.”
At 9:56 am, He said: ‘Kamala’s medical report is really bad. With all the problems she has, there is a real question about whether or not she should run for president. MY REPORT IS PERFECT – NO PROBLEMS!!!’
However, his left-wing opponents say Trump, who is 78, should release his own medical records to prove these claims.
