In a recent appearance on “The Bulwark” podcast, Democratic strategist James Carville made baseless claims about former President Donald Trump’s health, suggesting that he may be hiding a sexually transmitted disease (STD). Carville’s speculation was prompted by an incident in 2017 where Trump’s personal bodyguard allegedly removed his health records from his internist’s office.
Carville questioned the motives behind this seemingly secretive act, asking, “What was in there? What was in those health records?” He also pointed to Trump’s own statements about trying to avoid getting an STD during the Vietnam War era as evidence of his supposed health issues.
However, Carville’s suspicions and speculations are just that – baseless and unfounded. Despite the unusual circumstances surrounding the retrieval of Trump’s medical records, there is no proof or even indication that he has ever been diagnosed with an STD. Carville’s theory is simply a wild and unsubstantiated one.
Furthermore, Carville’s statements highlight a clear bias and agenda against Trump. His insinuation that Trump “even failed” at avoiding an STD during the Vietnam War era is not only baseless but also disrespectful and unprofessional. It is clear that Carville’s comments are driven by his personal dislike for Trump and not by any actual evidence or facts.
It’s also worth noting that Trump’s health has been a subject of scrutiny and speculation for a long time. In 2015, when he was a presidential candidate, Trump chose not to disclose his medical records. Instead, he presented a brief letter from his doctor attesting to his good health. While some may see this as suspicious, it is hardly evidence of any hidden health issues.
In fact, Trump’s overall health and physical fitness have been praised by his doctor, Dr. Ronnie Jackson, who served as the White House physician during Trump’s tenure. In a press conference in 2018, Dr. Jackson stated that he had “no concerns” about Trump’s cognitive ability or general health, despite the constant attacks and speculation from opponents.
Carville’s unfounded and baseless claims about Trump’s health are just another attempt to discredit and smear the former president. His personal biases and agenda are evident in his statements, and there is no reason to give any credence to his theories. Trump’s health may have been a topic of interest during his presidency, but there is no evidence to support Carville’s outlandish claims.
