Last year, Clinton’s doctor released a few pages of vital information about the 68-year-old’s health and history, including a concussion in 2012 and a current prescription of antihistamines. Trump, 70, has released even less information: his doctor released a vague letter, written in about five minutes, that said the businessman would be the “healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency”. Questions of seniority and health followed Ronald Reagan’s 1984 campaign, when the 73-year-old was running for re-election as the oldest president in history. In 1923, Warren G Harding died from heart disease – a sudden heart attack while he was visiting San Francisco – aged 57. The president fell ill during a trip to Japan, and vomited in the lap of prime minister Miyazawa Kiichi.
