Is there any way to compel trump to release his medical reports?

[Poiuyt]

Honest reports, I mean. After seeing the video of him walking that was posted in several threads today, plus other episodes (walking down a wheelchair ramp, drinking with two hands, etc.), I think the American public has the right to know if he's in good health.

1. Probably not.

There are very strong privacy protections of medical records.

[Poiuyt]

4. I was thinking about pressure from the media and general public.

If enough people start talking about it, it will have the same effect.

[Polybius]

6. He's never cared about public pressure before

Don't see him caring now.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

10. Oh, that's right.

He's released all his tax returns because of that pressure. I keep forgetting.

Wait, he hasn't? Never mind.

[Hoyt]

2. Any objective layperson can see he's not well, physically or mentally.

I also bet his medical records are fake.

[soothsayer]

8. We know they are. We've seen his WH physical report.

[Binkie The Clown]

3. We need to know about his rumored multiple mini-strokes. nt

9. Could have been a reference to putt putt golf.

5. Why bother beating on that issue. There are plenty of things that we can go after him on. nt

13. That's what he's going after Biden about though

so I think pointing out his gross hypocrisy is useful context.

[Blue_true]

14. Biden released his records months ago. Instead of taking Trump to Court

or trying to use some other tool, Democratic Leaders and the Biden Campaign should simply point out that Biden has released records for public scrutiny while Trump has not - and leave things at that.

7. Everybody is on the "run out the clock" mode.

We're focusing on the election, but that fucking hairball will be in the WH until 20 Jan of next year.
The damage he can inflict on us between now and 20 January is incalculable.

With so much going on, it's difficult to imagine the Dems taking time and effort to impeach trump.

But... what happens if they don't?

[jcgoldie]

11. He's going to release them...

...as soon as they are no longer under audit.

[meadowlander]

12. Didn't we pay for them? Surely a well-placed FOIA request

could dislodge something.

[USALiberal]

15. HIPPA might prevent it! nt
