Stephen King calls out 'old man' Trump for refusing to release medical records: 'Past his sell-by-date' [View all]

Best-selling author Stephen King has once again taken to X to denounce Donald Trump, offering voters yet another reason why they shouldn’t support the former president. King, 77, is well-known for being a vocal critic of Trump, previously comparing him to a drunk “senile uncle.”

In his most recent social media rant against the Republican presidential nominee, the prolific horror author called out Trump for refusing to release his medical records. “Trump is past his sell-by date,” King tweeted on Saturday (October 5). “Don’t vote for an old man who won’t release his medical records.”

With President Joe Biden, 81, bowing out of the presidential race in July, Trump, 78, now has the possibility of becoming the oldest sitting president. He would be 82 at the end of his potential second term.

Yet, despite his advanced age, Trump has refused to provide any glimpse into his records. When asked about his health in 2015, he provided a four-paragraph letter from his doctor, who claimed he would be the “healthiest person ever elected to the presidency.”
