He attested that Trump would be the healthiest president ever, but was later expelled from the Trump orbit.By Katharine Q. Seelye
Jan. 14, 2021
Dr. Harold N. Bornstein, who for a time was President Donald J. Trumps personal physician and who had attested that Mr. Trump would be the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency, died on Friday. He was 73.
His death was announced on Thursday in a paid notice in The New York Times. It did not give a cause or say where he died.
Loquacious, hirsute and eccentric, Dr. Bornstein, a gastroenterologist, was Mr. Trumps personal physician from 1980 to 2017. He had inherited Mr. Trump as a patient from his father, Dr. Jacob Bornstein, with whom he shared a medical practice on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, at Park Avenue and 78th Street.
When Mr. Trump was elected president in 2016, Dr. Bornstein had hoped to be named White House physician and suggested as much to a longtime Trump assistant. But he was expelled from the Trump orbit after he disclosed to The New York Times that the president was taking medication to make his hair grow.

I sense just a hint of scorn and bitterness from a father toward his son.
