Clean bill of health and a clean rap sheet should be mandatory for every candidate.

[OffBeatLondon]

I'm British. I can confirm that nobody around the world describes America as occupied.

[Mackon.]

Don't watch the polls "Just Vote!" 🇺🇸💙

[tadmarshall]

I notice that we've given up on asking Trump for his tax returns. The bar just keeps getting lower.

[alleycatpat]

I think it should be mandatory to release a health report from a bipartisan doctor before you can get on the ballot for president period, same with the tax returns! Stop this nonsense of breaking the law and just moving on! This man has broken every rule and every law that any other person would be disqualified from running for president. What the hell’s wrong with people?

[blipmachine]

Why did the chicken cross the road? To get away from a 3rd debate, 60 minutes interview, and releasing his medical report 🐔

[JOHNGUYESKI]

It should be put into law that candidates must release their medical history as well as their taxes records to insure they are fit and paying their fair share. Trump’s mental cognizance is in question because of his idiotic ramblings

[chashue]

Tell me again why this election is purported to be so close? Trump is a DISASTER.

[jodyhutchinson]

What is so frightening is the prospect of JD Vance having to take over.

People who do not understand the workings of the subject being discussed often don’t realize they are being mentally coerced, manipulated, and deceived by a control freak, narcissist, liar, sociopath, etc. As a result, they are more likely to succumb to cognitive dissonance, a psychological concept that describes the mental discomfort or tension that arises when a person holds two or more contradictory beliefs, values, or attitudes simultaneously. This discomfort often leads individuals to try to reduce the inconsistency by changing their beliefs, attitudes, or behaviors, believing that truths are lies and false narratives are true.
Don't be conned by a CON! trump is both physically and mentally unfit to serve in any government position.
America deserves way much better...🤩

[HappyDinosaurFossils-xfzw]

He has never released such a medical report and still hasn't releaed his tax returns. Both of vital concern for physical, mental and moral fitness.

[LindaWebber-zvor]

Mental health professionals have been saying for many years that Trump is unfit to be president and that his mental health issues would become worse overtime and it’s obvious that they have. when he says that he’s not releasing his health record, he needs to be asked. What is he afraid of?

[dariannowak]

The media all of them should really just ask him real questions and push back on his lies he will show his true psychotic self

[jasonwisser]

Never have I wanted to vote for someone more than I want to vote for Harris. Wish I were American to vote and very thankful that I’m not American in case Trump wins. Go vote people. 🇺🇸

[reamoinmcdonachadh]

Should be a legal Obligation, a non negotiable formality that Medical Records and tax records be made public for Candidates, and ANY refusal should be an automatic negative against their electability to Office.

[MarcGrinnell]

Doom and gloom Trump at it again. The sky is falling says chicken little Trump.

[stop_lying_to_me]

In an alternate universe, human beings have the wisdom to know mental fitness is an important component in leadership.

[Mrs.Kimmiee]

One doesn’t have to be the brightest bulb in the pack to see and hear that trump is unhealthy physically, mentally and emotionally. There’s no way he’s 215 pounds that might be the size of his ego

[HauntFreak]

We cannot risk having to have Vance as president if Trump croaks

[paulaw]

We have wanted to know the truth about trumps health. But it does not matter because he is going to lose so bigly.
🇺🇸 💙 KAMALA 💙 🇺🇸
