Trump’s latest health note from Dr. Bruce Aronwald is short, flattering, and carefully incomplete. It praises “excellent” health, references weight loss and daily exercise, and echoes the same rosy language that has defined his past medical letters. Yet once again, the public is left without hard data: no lab values, no imaging results, no clear benchmarks that would allow independent judgment.
This selective transparency collides with a brutal political reality. Both Trump and President Biden are in their 70s and 80s, and both are asking voters to trust not just their policies, but their stamina, reflexes, and clarity of mind for the next four years. Trump leans on his much-touted cognitive test as proof of sharpness, while critics argue that real accountability requires more than a friendly doctor’s note—and that Americans deserve the full, unvarnished truth.
