Exclusive: Bornstein claims Trump dictated the glowing health letter
Source: CNN
When Dr. Harold Bornstein described in hyperbolic prose then-candidate Donald Trump's health in 2015, the language he used was eerily similar to the style preferred by his patient.
It turns out the patient himself wrote it, according to Bornstein.
"He dictated that whole letter. I didn't write that letter," Bornstein told CNN on Tuesday. "I just made it up as I went along."
The admission is an about face from his answer more than two years when the letter was released and answers one of the lingering questions about the last presidential election. The letter thrust the eccentric Bornstein, with his shoulder-length hair and round eyeglasses, into public view.

The wording was straight out of Bozo's campaign speeches.
How could that pass without raising a question?
Granted, he lies at a very rapid rate, but this was supposed to be a professional opinion.

(27,813 posts)And yes, it was discussed here and elsewhere at the time it was released.
Anyone who read it (other than the idiots in the MSM) recognized immediately that the language used was Trump's own.
In addition, medical practitioners who opined on the letter at the time pointed out that Bornstein used terms and phrases that no (legit) doctor would use.

(2,015 posts)To begin with all of his tests were positive? I'm not a doctor nor do I play one on TV but I know enough to hope for negative results when they test for serious illness.
NanceGreggs
(27,813 posts)I was just discussing this with my son, and pointed out that Dr. Bornstein stated that all of Trump's test results were positive.
My son replied, "You mean the tests for VD, herpes, dementia, morbid obesity, and mental incompetence? Yeah, I've no doubt they all came back 'positive'."

(51,430 posts)and doesn't have astonishing stamina. In fact, his health is probably not so great. The doctor said that the moron's people called him and said he would no longer be the moron's doctor right after he told the world that the only meds he takes is a prostate medication that grows hair as a side effect. I had a doctor's appointment today so I asked my doctor about this and he said that this is all illegal (breaking and entering, HIPAA rules and guidelines, threatening him, going through other people's files in order to find the moron's, etc.) and he said that the medicine DOES grow hair.

Must be a Republican thing.
eta: I tried to find just a copy of the letter, with no commentary, but the places that had archived it (like the LA Times, originally) no longer have it.
