Donald Trump dictated note saying he was 'astonishingly' healthy, doctor says

[Soph0571]

A 2015 doctor’s note describing Donald Trump’s health as “astonishingly excellent” was dictated by Trump himself, according to the doctor who signed the note.

Trump made public the letter from Dr Harold Bornstein on the eve of the presidential primary contests to allay concerns about his fitness. Two days before the letter was released, Trump tweeted: “As a presidential candidate, I have instructed my long-time doctor to issue, within two weeks, a full medical report – it will show perfection.”

The letter said Trump had shed 15lbs in the previous 12 months, said “his cardiovascular status is excellent” and concluded: “If elected, Mr Trump, I can state unequivocally, will be the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency.”

Bornstein, described in the note as Trump’s physician “since 1980”, told CNN on Tuesday that he did not write the letter. “He dictated that whole letter. I didn’t write that letter,” Bornstein said.

1. He signed it as an MD, on his license

2. It was bloody obvious. Just listen to the language!

Frankly, Ronny Jackson's speech sounded very Trumpian too, but he is known for being a huge kiss-up, so he may have just used language he knew would ingratiate himself.

3. The only surprise there is that Donnie Two Scoops knows the word 'unequivocally'.

Maybe that was Bornstein's contribution.

4. This is not a joke

Everyone is going to crack jokes about this, but this isn't funny.

Can you imagine if Hillary or Obama had falsified their medical history? They would be freaking out, FOX News would have 24 hour coverage of HealthGate.

He is hiding something and it's not simply for reasons of vanity. He's likely hiding drug use and/or mental health issues.

5. Compare and contrast

6. No one can state the healthiest individual

because they have no examined all the other Presidents.

The idea that the Dotard is healthier than Obama or Clinton or Dubya or Poppy when they were in office is hilarious.
