Not as serious of a health issue as Hilldogs, and I'm not voting for the Donald BTW.

The actual article:

Donald Trump was institutionalized in a mental hospital for a nervous breakdown in 1990, according to a tweet posted this evening – and then deleted – by Newsweek writer Kurt Eichenwald. He stated his belief that Trump is refusing to release anything about his medical records or history for fear that it could lead to this particular detail being uncovered from his past. But why did Eichenwald subsequently delete his tweet and then insist that his big Newsweek cover story coming out tomorrow is about a different topic?

Good question.

Eichenwald’s original tweet said the following: “I believe Trump was institutionalized in a mental hospital for a nervous breakdown in 1990, which is why he won’t release his medical records.” Rather than elaborating or providing evidence of this claim, he deleted his tweet – but not before it was screen capped by Rolling Stone writer Corbin Reiff, who asked Eichenwalkd to elaborate.

Nothing like dropping an unsubstantiated shell bomb and seeing if it will grow legs.

Eichenwald responded in a manner which made it sound like he only deleted the tweet because it was causing so much confusion about his upcoming story on another topic, which he’s been hyping for the past week. “Folks: I don’t have story coming out tomorrow that Trump had a breakdown. Order of tweets confused ppl I believe. Topic is other major thing.”

Or was he hoping to generate publicity for his article?

He also subsequently tweeted that “No one in the press even knows whether Trump has experienced a nervous breakdown or been institutionalized. We need medical records.” So it’s not immediately clear whether he was actually making the claim that Donald Trump had been institutionalized in the tweet which he deleted, or if he was merely trying to make a point about Trump’s lack of transparency. But he lated tweeted that “People were thinking that was my cover story for tomorrow I’ve been discussing, so deleted it to avoid confusion.”

I wonder if he is included in the group "in the press"? If so doesn't this mean that he has no knowledge and therefore made an accusation that has no basis?

In any case it’s still not clear what Kurt Eichenwald’s upcoming Newsweek cover story is actually about, though we’ll find out when it’s released tomorrow. As for his apparent claim that Trump was institutionalized, which again he has provided no evidence of, this story is still developing.

More than likely will develop into a lawsuit??

I am likely in the minority, and I wasn't voting for Trump anyway, but possibly due to my fleeting service in the "helping" professions as a young man, I actually admire people who seek help for mental and/or emotional problems. To me it is a sign of strength and it takes a major commitment to look at very painful issues that most would prefer stay buried.

If indeed Trump ever dealt with this, I applaud his obvious victory.

OK.
You're serious.

In your opinion, which candidate is a bigger health risk?
Meaning, their presidency could be directly impacted by matters of health, be it physical or mental.

so is this guy alleging that trump was committed against his will because he was a danger to himself/others (302'd) or that he sought help when potentially overwhelmed with anxiety/depression?

giving the benefit of the doubt and assuming it is true, major details seem to be left out. they are really very different animals.

im not sure either event, especially 26 years ago, changes my opinion on the candidate but i realize we are at the point in the election where mud needs to be slung to sway the minds of the mindless.

i fully believe hilary has, at least, a personality disorder. maybe trump does too. maybe all who climb the ladder do?

I have not been trained in any medical field and can't really provide you with a legitimate opinion on their health. Seems like you have a medical opinion on both of the candidate's health, what is it?

My guess is
The Donald
Doesn't want to lose his GUNS....
( if he was institutionalized he can't own guns)
OR The NRA SUPPORT.

You want to "see his medical records" but you don't have a medical degree??

Your original post has only one conclusion: You feel there is reason to question Trumps mental health.
Instead of putting words into your mouth, I asked for your opinion on the matters of candidates heath (a subject YOU initiated), and now I hear that you can't even form an opinion on the subject?

It could mean many things, since his purpose for wanting to see the records is not stated. One thing comes to mind that is very different than your supposition, to refute the suggestion. Which now seems to be a lie. Or it could mean let's see how bad it was or wasn't, or it could mean what you said. There are many other possibilities.

Reading comprehension is not a strong point of yours. I said we need to see his medical records. We meaning the general public including medically trained people, i.e. doctors, who could supply us with their opinions.

Personally, I do believe that there is something wrong with him, I've believed that ever since I first saw him on TV many years ago.

If we need to see his medical records it would seem that we also need to see Hillary's medical records as well? In the interest of fairness, shouldn't your post say "...see their medical records."

But, since most of your posts are either conjecture or trolling why would we expect anything different?

Yeah.
The key obstacle in generating a discussion has been MY reading comprehension.

At least you've finally offered a partial opinion, although you've still not answered the original question.
And since I'm apparently not allowed to speculate as to why, we'll just have to leave it at that.
