The Story in Brief
Dr Jonathan Reiner, a cardiologist at George Washington University, has published a guest essay in The New York Times questioning whether Donald Trump is medically fit for office. Reiner argues that US citizens deserve to know if the former president, who says he is in 'excellent health', can perform his duties. The essay does not cite any new medical report or examination. Trump has not released detailed health records during his current campaign.
The Indian Opinion
The push to see a president's medical records is neither new nor partisan. When John McCain released volumes in 2008, no one asked for a doctor's opinion from the New York Times. Yet here, Dr Reiner's essay recycles a lazy narrative: that transparency alone guarantees fitness. Trump's own White House doctor once called his health 'astonishingly excellent' with no proof. The real test is whether voters demand an independent exam, not another op-ed columnist, to settle this before the next election cycle.
