Donald Trump to release 'very, very specific numbers' from new physical
Responding to Hillary Clinton's health scare over the weekend, Donald Trump informed the hosts of Fox and Friends on Monday that he took a physical last week and plans to release "very, very specific numbers" when they come in.
"Hopefully they're going to be good, I think they're going to be good, I feel great," Trump said. Trump previously released a much-ridiculed doctor's statement that raved Trump was the "healthiest individual ever" to have a shot at the presidency. It was later revealed the doctor had written it in five minutes.
Clinton canceled a California campaign trip after being rushed away from the 9/11 Memorial on Sunday. Her doctor later reported that she had been diagnosed with pneumonia Friday and was on antibiotics.
