An elderly man with a serious pulmonary issue walking around the streets late at night in a potentially stress inducing situation doesn't seem like a good mix.

Personal theory: I think he has massive body image issues, and he desperately wants to think of himself as in better shape than he is. There's a reason he keeps making stuff like this:

What I'm saying is the Secret Service can't protect him from his own heart.

I agree. If you read deathbed accounts of kings like Henry VIII, the sudden change from being able to command, to pitiful helplessness and fear of damnation is awesome. The doctors were so frightened of Henry that none would tell him he was dying. Trump has started to talk about going to heaven.

"Oh he's going to stay in his limo/take a golf cart/hide in a cruiser" I mean maybe, but keep in mind his objective here is to look like a conquering ruler ordering his armies around as they bash heads for him. Doing any of the above ruins the image he wants to project.
