Prove they don’t have a terminal illness that is gonna kill you before your term ends. If you have cancer with a 1 year life expectancy the voters need to know that the VP will be taking over soon. Also those with nothing to live for might be quick to launch nukes just because they know they will be dead soon anyways. Oh one more if you are on chemo maybe you won’t be able to dedicate your time to actually making America great because you are hugging the golden throne.
Porcelain throne. I don’t think the toilet at the white house or hospital you get your chemo at has a gold toilet. And if it does, I really want to shit in it to say I did
I do think it’s a bit silly, but it’s apparently something that presidential candidates have done for decades, just some way to “prove” that they are physically fit to lead and aren’t going to suddenly croak partway through their administration from some condition they’re covering up. As if that actually serves as any real proof when their doctor will basically publish whatever they tell them to, but easy to see how the whole practice gets weaponized during an election when “everyone does it”.
Kinda sucks though. That time I went to the doctor for a recurrent hot red rash on the back of my scrotum is just going to draw the wrong kind of attention when I run for office.
A lot of people didn’t even know Roosevelt was crippled when they voted him into office and he turned out pretty ok.
I can’t blame someone for wanting to keep their health issues private. I have two chronic conditions that would likely cause me to loose my job or at the very least not be hired by many other places if the wrong peoptknew about the.
Trump is clearly demented but was in poor mental health even when he was president. The fools voting for him have just bought into the hate and fear he represents. At this point his performance andental state are completely irrelevant to them. They would vote for his corpse stretched over one of Elons robots at this point.
Why does anyone need to show their medical records???

Yeah, it’s pretty ridiculous. The president should have some privacy as much as I think the rest of us should.
He has in the past, but hasn’t this cycle and it is a norm for presidential candidates to release it

Seems like normal decent boundaries matter less when you’re at that political scale.
