As physicians, we are deeply concerned that Donald Trump, showing potential signs of cognitive decline, may not be able to perform the duties of the presidency for a full term. We believe he should release his medical records, as Vice President Harris has done, to provide transparency about his health. The presidency demands a leader who is mentally sharp, physically fit, and open about their health status. To date, Donald Trump has not demonstrated these qualities.
