In a bizarre late-night tirade, former President Donald Trump lashed out at Vice President Kamala Harris, claiming her seasonal allergies indicate “deeply serious conditions” that threaten her ability to function.
Just before 1 a.m. Eastern on Tuesday, Trump reacted to Harris’s challenge for him to disclose his medical records. In his typical fashion, he misled his followers, asserting he had already released “flawless” records multiple times while scarmongering about Harris’s record.
“I have already provided them, many times, including quite recently, and they were flawless,” Trump claimed on Truth Social. “However, I have just seen Kamala’s Report, and it is not good.”
Trump fixated on Harris’s medical report, which noted her experience with seasonal allergies and urticaria, commonly known as hives. He exaggeratedly claimed, “These are deeply serious conditions that clearly impact her functioning,” using alarming language like “dangerous swelling” to stir fear among his followers.

The report, issued by Harris’s physician, clarified that her allergies primarily involve manageable symptoms like hay fever and irritated eyes, treated effectively with over-the-counter medications. But for Trump, this was a golden opportunity to instill panic among his supporters.
His obsession with Harris seemed to ignite after she publicly challenged him on Sunday to reveal his health status, questioning why his team seemed intent on keeping him hidden. In a display of ironic deflection, Trump suggested she should take a cognitive test, despite growing concerns about his own cognitive abilities, evidenced by frequent verbal slip-ups and erratic behavior.
While Harris’s comprehensive medical report confirmed she is “in excellent health,” Trump’s team has been evasive about his own health records. They pointed to vague statements from Rep. Ronny Jackson, a staunch Trump supporter, claiming Trump was “doing well” following a recent injury but providing little substantial detail.
As the oldest presidential nominee in history at 78, Trump’s reluctance to share comprehensive medical information starkly contrasts with the norm for candidates. Instead, he resorts to desperate fear-mongering, attempting to distract from his own vulnerabilities by casting doubt on Harris’s health—an absurd tactic that highlights his mounting anxiety in the face of scrutiny.
