‘Listen to Your Questions!’ NBC’s Welker Battles Speaker Johnson over Trump Cholesterol Levels: ‘American People Don’t Care!’

WELKER: “It did happen under Donald Trump’s watch. But let me just ask you about medical records since you raised them — “
Johnson: “No, he didn’t. No, Kristen — “
WELKER: “Should Donald Trump release his medical records?”
Johnson: “No, we did not. That is a brand-new account.”
WELKER: “Should Donald Trump release all of his medical records, Mr. Speaker?”
Johnson: “He has. He issued — he issued the records of his physicians. Kamala Harris issued her medical records as diversion because she’s desperate, because she’s sinking in the polls. Donald Trump’s health is on display. Everyone in America can see it. The man works nonstop. He never quits. He probably sleeps four hours a night. He doesn’t require as much sleep as the average person. He’s an unusual figure. And this is the strength that we need in a time like this. We’re in the most dangerous moment since World War II. You have to have strength. You have to have a steady hand. You have to have a commander-in-chief that our allies respect and our enemies fear. They do not fear Kamala Harris. They do fear Donald Trump. That’s what people are going to vote on.”
WELKER: “Mr. Speaker, just be very clear, he hasn’t released all of his medical records. He released two letters. Should he release the results of the cognitive tests? He said — “
Johnson: “It’s unnecessary. He’s on display every minute.”
WELKER: “So it’s unnecessary? You can see that he — he didn’t release his medical records. You don’t want to know things like his cholesterol level, whether he’s dealing with any issue that we may not know about, if he’s going to be commander-in-chief?”
Johnson: “Kristen, Kristen — “
WELKER: “And he also said he would release cognitive tests, which he aced.”
Johnson: “Kristen, listen to your question.”
WELKER: “Should he release that?”
Johnson: “The American people — Kristen, the American people don’t care about the cholesterol level of Donald Trump. They care about the cost of living and the fact they cannot pay for groceries, because Kamala Harris and Joe Biden’s policies have put them in that situation. The medical records are irrelevant. Let’s talk about things that the American people care about. That’s why Donald Trump is surging in the polls, because he’s doing that on stages, in interviews, nonstop, around the clock, and Kamala Harris has done nothing. Every time she talks, her numbers go down, because she is uniquely unqualified to be the commander-in-chief at one of the most dangerous times in the history of the country. That’s a fact.”
