It is completely understandable that the public would want to know the health of their leaders. This is especially true of bosses.
Whether Woodrow Wilson's wife was actually serving as president or Franklin Roosevelt was hiding his condition from the country, the issue is unfortunately not new or novel.
That won't be a problem, according to Donald Trump's doctor. The former and would-be future president is in “excellent health” and that he “will continue to enjoy a healthy, active lifestyle for many years.”

Doctor says Trump is in good health
Trump has at various times been the subject of conspiracy theories that he is unhealthy, but according to his doctor those theories would be wrong. He crushed Covid on the job, after all.
Reuters reported on a doctor’s note from Trump’s doctor in November, “The memo that Trump (77 years old) posted on his account on the Truth Social website was issued on the same day as Democratic President Joe Biden’s 81st birthday.” The physical and mental health of both men has become a major issue in the 2024 presidential race.
The story continued:
“President Trump has reduced his weight by adopting an improved diet and continuing daily physical activity, while maintaining a strict schedule,” said the memo, signed by Bruce Aronwald, an orthopedist from New Jersey.
The memo did not provide further details.
“His physical tests were within the normal range and his cognitive tests were exceptional,” Aronwald wrote.
Positive cognitive tests could be important for Trump throughout 2024, given widespread speculation about whether Joe Biden's mind is continuing to deteriorate.
Polls have shown that a large majority of Americans have concerns about Biden's mental health.

Concerns grow about Biden's mental health
NBC News reported in June, “However, here's the bad news for the president: 68% of all voters say they have concerns about Biden having the mental and physical health needed to be president, including 55% who say they have concerns.” big”. “
“What also stands out is how much concerns about Biden's mental and physical fitness have increased since we last asked this question in October 2020 — when 51% of voters said they had concerns, with 38% having 'major' concerns,” NBC noted.
So as time goes on, it appears that more Americans are concerned about Biden's health.
It seems reasonable. No one gets younger.
Trump is by far the leading candidate to receive the Republican Party's presidential nomination in 2024, pitting him against President Biden unless something changes in the Democratic race.
Politics and personalities will be important in determining the race. So might basic health.
