Claim: In terms of health conditions, Donald Trump is less fit to be president compared to Kamala Harris

Vice President Harris' campaign is using her most recent health report to underscore the fact that she is younger than her Republican rival — who has not released much information about his health. They also highlight Trump's exaggerative manor surrounding the topic, bringing up his past comments about being the "healthiest" person to be president which his doctor later disclosed was a claim "dictated" by Trump.

This post is not misinformation. The post claims that Harris is using her most recent health report to gain leverage against and draw attention to the nearly 20-year age difference between her and the Republican nominee, Donald Trump. The article by NPR quotes Harris directly speaking about how Donald has yet to release his medical records during this election season. Harris' medical report is available from the White House as a PDF document, linked in the NPR article, the information the article is reporting is accurate from the medical report. The claim "dictated" by Trump can actually be found on his own website with a link/image of a tweet he posted in November 2023.

Although Trump did post a tweet in November 2023 with a letter from a different doctor (Bruce Aronwald), the claim "dictated" by Trump that is mentioned in the NPR article was from 2015 and disclosed by his then-personal physician Harold N. Bornstein.

A strong fact-check includes source hyperlinks like the White House PDF you referred to. Next time, please include all relevant source links. Thanks!
