Republican presidential nominee, former U.S. President Donald Trump, addresses the media as he arrives at Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport on October 18, 2024, in Detroit, Michigan.

The 78-year-old Republican nominee, when asked if he will release his health records, suggested that he has already shared enough information about his medical status. "Yeah, my health records – I've done five exams over the last four years.
You've got them all," Trump told a reporter on an airport tarmac after landing in Detroit, Michigan, on Friday afternoon. Trump then appeared to suggest that he was too busy campaigning against Vice President Harris, the Democratic nominee, to devote time to update his records. "Obviously, I'm in the middle of a very big and very contentious fight," he said.
"We're leading. I've given my health exams." Trump added that he has "done cognitive tests twice, and I've aced them.
Meaning a perfect score." "I want to see her do a cognitive test because she couldn't ace because she wasn't born smart," he said, before walking away from the press. The Trump campaign did not respond to CNBC's request for additional comment on Trump's remarks in Michigan.
Trump told CBS News in August that he would.
