Donald Trump’s doctor, Dr. Harold Bornstein, speaks to NBC.
Donald Trump’s Doctor, Dr. Harold Bornstein
Donald Trump’s doctor appeared to have been forced in the wording of his statement on Trump’s health without a substantive checkup? NBC caught up with the doctor and his story was not one that gives any credence to the statement of Trump’s health.
Dr. Harold Bornsteinm, Trump’s personal physician, said he wrote a letter stating that Trump would be the healthiest president in history in just five minutes. He said he did it while a limo sent by Trump was waiting outside of his Manhattan office. Dr. Bornstein said he wrote the letter in five minutes.
Does it seem that everything relative to Trump is contrived? Not serious? According to NBCNews,
In his letter, Bornstein said there were no “significant medical problems” in Trump’s history and that a recent examination “showed only positive results.” Asked how he could justify the hyperbole, Bornstein said, “I like that sentence to be quite honest with you and all the rest of them are either sick or dead.” He went on to say that the Oval Office has been occupied by presidents with dementia or tumors or even men who were “paranoid” or “psychotic.”
Bornstein said that after he was asked to write the letter, he thought about what he would say all day but did not type it out until the last minute as a black car sent by Trump waited to collect it. He said he didn’t even proofread it. The doctor said he would not normally use such over-the-top language in a letter for a patient but he made an exception for Trump — who just two weeks before had tweeted that the doctor’s assessment would show “perfection.” “I think I picked up his kind of language and then just interpreted it to my own,” Bornstein said.
Really Donald Trump?
