More than 230 doctors, nurses and health care professionals are calling on former President Donald Trump to release his medical records, arguing that he should be transparent about his health "given his advancing age."

"Trump is falling concerningly short of any standard of fitness for office and displaying alarming characteristics of declining acuity," the 238 signatories wrote in a letter dated Oct. 13 and first obtained by CBS News. "In the limited opportunities we can examine his behavior, he's providing a deeply concerning snapshot."

The letter was organized by the group "Doctors for Harris," which is unaffiliated with Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign. The doctors and nurses note that presidential candidates have traditionally disclosed their medical records, including Arizona Sen. John McCain, who did so during his 2008 presidential campaign. In his 2020 race against President Biden, Trump released results of his physical in the June before Election Day.

The letter noted that absent detailed health records, "we are left to extrapolate from public appearances." "As we all age, we lose sharpness and revert to base instincts. We are seeing that from Trump, as he uses his rallies and appearances to ramble, meander, and crudely lash out at his many perceived grievances," the doctors wrote.

But any attention drawn to this is good thing, imo, so I appreciate these doctors shining a light on it.

6. No way n hell is the convicted felon going to release his medical records.

7. His records would be highly edited

No mention of bowel incontinence, or his constant diarrhea problems.
Or his complete inability to speak the truth.
I wonder about his blood pressure.
What's the chances of him dying before he gets sworn in?
