Trump Camp Attacks ‘Wholly Unqualified’ Harris After Clean Medical Report Drop: ‘Unable to Keep Up With Demands of Campaigning’

The Trump campaign responded Saturday after Vice President Kamala Harris released her medical report, issuing a statement that called her “wholly unqualified” to serve as president.

Harris’s physician, US Army Dr. Joshua R. Simmons, described her as a sufferer of seasonal allergies with nearsightedness but overall as a “healthy 59-year-old woman.”

“She possesses the physical and mental resiliency required to successfully execute the duties of the Presidency,” Simmons added.

In response to the release, the Trump campaign communications director Steven Cheung issued the following statement:

President Trump has voluntarily released updates from his personal physician, as well as detailed reports from Dr. Ronny Jackson who treated him after the first assassination attempt. All have concluded he is in perfect and excellent health to be Commander in Chief. He has maintained an extremely busy and active campaign schedule unlike any other in political history, whereas Kamala Harris has been unable to keep up with the demands of campaigning and reveals on a daily basis she is wholly unqualified to be President of the United States. Her schedule is much lighter because, it is said, she does not have the stamina of President Trump. Polls are reflective of this.

Cheung attached copies of three letters that declared Trump as healthy and fit to serve a second term in the White House. One from the former president’s personal physician, as well as two from July in which Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-TX) also gave Trump a positive bill of health.

After a gunman attempted to assassinate Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania in July, Jackson wrote:

As the former Physician to the President for President Donald J. Trump, I have continued to monitor his health and well-being, along with his primary care physician, since the assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania on the evening of July 13th. The would-be assassin fired multiple rounds from a relatively close distance using a high-powered rifle, with one bullet striking the former President, and now the Republican Nominee for President, in his right ear.

[…]

I want to reassure the American people and the rest of the world, that President Trump is doing extremely well. He is rapidly recovering from the gunshot wound to his right ear. I will continue to be available to assist President Trump and his personal physician in any way they see fit and will provide updates as necessary and with the permission of President Trump.
