Is Trump's letter from his doctor about his superman health a fake? It may well be:

[cali]

A fake in the sense that Trump wrote it and his sycophant doc signed it:

<snip>

On December 4, 2015, the Trump campaign released…something.






It purports to be a medical letter, but it is one of the most ridiculous documents ever to emerge in any political campaign. First, the letterhead is in the same font as the letter, which appears to have been created using Microsoft Word. The signature from the doctor is several inches past the signature line—the result you might get if the document had been signed as a blank and filled in later. The letterhead includes a Gmail address—something doctors tell me is extremely unusual, since doctors do not want patients contacting them directly by email as a substitute for scheduling an appointment.

There is also a website listed, but if you follow the URL (haroldbornsteinmd.com), it takes you to cdn.freefarcy.com, a blank page that asks if you want to upload an update to a Flash program onto your computer (the domain name, freefarcy.com, is still for sale. No, I can’t explain that.) If you decline, it does so anyway and, based on the response of the security system on my computer, the “program” on the doctor’s supposed website is a virus.

Then, there is the doctor who allegedly signed this document. His name is Harold N. Bornstein, and he is a gastroenterologist. This kind of physician is a specialist who treats the digestive tract. This is not an internist, who is trained specifically in providing full histories and physicals of patients. The letter signed by Dr. Bornstein, who did not return an email from Newsweek seeking comment, says that he has treated Trump since 1980. However, it mentions no history of the gastrointestinal problem that led the Republican candidate for president to seek out his help. In fact, the letter says Trump has had no significant medical problems. So why has he been seeing a gastroenterologist for over 35 years?

[liberal N proud]

1. Unequivocally Trump like

Astonishingly unbelievable.
Extraordinary

[Coyotl]

27. Have you seen the "doctor" lately? I mean have you seen his photo:

This is the guy who writes Trump's prescriptions ....

[LuvNewcastle]

51. Reminds me of John Lennon......

gone to seed.

[Fast Walker 52]

75. it's truly bizarre

this whole campaign, hard to know how much of a joke it is

[revmclaren]

101. Looks like 'Boris The Animal'

in 'Men in Black 3' but more disturbing!

Probably takes more prescriptions than he writes.

[nolabear]

108. Jesus, I thought that was a joke! All photos of him look like a stoner!

[The Wizard]

115. Is this also Putin's doctor? (NT)

[GoDawgs]

118. Is that Trump's doctor, or his meth dealer?

[Blue Idaho]

136. WTH? Dr Feelgood?

Well, I gotta hand it to the good doctor, at least he hasn't killed Trump... Yet...

[geardaddy]

43. yep, that's what stuck out for me, too.

I'm surprised he didn't use "tremendous"

[pokerfan]

145. More evidence that he wrote it...

Look at his choice of words when describing his temperament:

"I think I have the best temperament or certainly one of the best temperaments of anybody that’s ever run for the office of president. Ever," he told the crowd today. "Because I have a winning temperament. I know how to win."
http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/donald-trump-best-temperaments-presidential-candidate/story?id=41003314

Compare with this from the purported letter from his doctor:

“If elected, Mr. Trump, I can state unequivocally, will be the healthiest person ever elected to the presidency.”

I rest my case.

[superpatriotman]

2. I wish my blood pressure was that low

But every time I turn on the tv I see Don the con

[sarae]

5. lol!

naturally, anyone who comes in contact with Mr Trump will have higher blood pressure than him...

[calimary]

14. My blood pressure IS that low, and holds steady. But I suppose if anybody could boil it up,

it'd be The Donald and all thoughts of the horrors he would cause if he were President and had the nuclear codes at his disposal.

[spooky3]

69. If his blood pressure were that low, why would any

Doctor have him on statins?

[tavernier]

91. Well...

One in four Americans over the age of 45 are now taking a statin drug, despite the fact that there are over 900 studies proving their adverse effects, which run the gamut from muscle problems to diabetes and increased cancer risk.
Statins deplete your body of CoQ10, which can have devastating results. If you take statin drugs without taking CoQ10, your health is at serious risk. If you have symptoms of statin damage, such as muscle pain, take anywhere from 200 to 500 mg of CoQ10 or ubiquinol, which is the reduced form. Ubiquinol is the recommended form if you’re over the age of 25. For preventative use, take around 100-200 mg.
Statins also impair the function of all sterols, including cholesterol and vitamin D (which is similar to cholesterol and is produced from cholesterol in your skin), all your sex hormones, cortisone, the dolichols, which are involved in keeping the membranes inside your cells healthy.
--------

So basically, he's a mess!

[calimary]

104. Sheesh - what a statistic.

That's terrible! My blood pressure is so low that, one time, when I went to donate blood, they almost sent me away. Because they couldn't find my blood pressure! Took three different nurses trying to get a reading on me before they finally found one. They kept joking with me - "are you sure you're not dead?" Since it was fairly early on a Saturday morning, I responded - "well, no, but kinda feels like it."

[Avalux]

3. LOL - "healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency".

A legitimate physician would never write such a thing. Either it's fake, or "Dr. Bornstein" needs to be disbarred for making such a ludicrous statement.

Either way, it's a big steaming pile of horse shit.

[nadine_mn]

19. That is the Trump "giveaway"

not just healthy but the healthiest ever in the world of all time...

[Motley13]

24. I agree, that is just not med speak from a legit doctor.

I want to see a psychological report from a proven legit psychiatrist.

[SCantiGOP]

37. Avalux:

Are you sure this doctor hasn't examined every President that has ever served? I'm just saying, that's what some people say, believe me...............

[Avalux]

57. Trump speech - hilarious! And what about Obama? Hello?

Of course if we make that comparison, it will surely set the Little Blowhard off on a twitter rant.

[Ligyron]

44. His health is "astonishingly excellent"

a double positive typical of Trumpaganda.

[Ilsa]

49. That was the line that sealed my opinion as well.

A doctor would never make such a ridiculous assertion. It sounds more like Trump-talk. Also, I don't believe his blood pressure is that low unless he's taking antihypertensive medication. I simply don't believe anything in the letter.

[First Speaker]

4. Anything is possible in Trumpland...

...phony doctor letters, phony spokespeople, phony campaign managers...that's why some little part of me still wonders about the Andy Kaufman scenario...

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

6. A doctor didn't write that letter. It's got Trump's tiny fingerprints all over it.

He or one of his minions managed to get a signature (they probably bought it), which doesn't line up with the printed signature block, and he created the letter around it. No actual doctor would issue a medical report that used those Trumpian words.

[hopeforchange2008]

9. "...tiny fingerprints..."

[KMOD]

20. +1 and

[Ligyron]

47. but, but...

on the reverse side the doctor says that Mr. Trump has the largest johnson he's ever examined.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

48. That would prove conclusively that the letter is a fake.

[Moonwalk]

76. And that the dog really did eat his homework....

It's like a he's remembering how to forge letters from his mother to his 5th grade teacher.

[SharonClark]

94. Love the tiny fingerprints.

Maybe it's like Dorian Grey except the more he lies and bloviates, his hands get smaller and smaller.

[OilemFirchen]

7. To Whom IT May Concern:

Donald Trump's doctor claims he's in perfect health and has never touched alcohol, but Twitter disagrees

... since the release of the letter, social media users have taken the opportunity to criticize the claims and post photos of the GOP frontrunner drinking what appears to be alcohol.

One person on Twitter posted a photo of President Barack Obama playing basketball, implying that he was a healthier man than Trump.

While Hillary Clinton, Jeb Bush and Chris Christie have released medical records, the Trump campaign had been holding out, with Trump both saying he was incredibly healthy – pointing to the fact that his parents had lived so long – but also bragging about his manly diet of bacon and steaks.

Trump's doctor said Trump had 'no history of ever using alcohol or tobacco products', but actual medical records were not included in the announcement.

[Dreamer Tatum]

8. Astonishingly excellent?

Yeah, Trump wrote that.

[dawnie51]

10. totally false.....

forged, or even worse, the good doctor had the paper put in front of him and he signed it. That hot mess was written by Trump, in the usual Trump-ian hyperbole, and without a shred of fact or proof. And that's the only medical anything anyone will see too. No doctor, even the most rural country doc, would ever put out a mess like that. Let alone a Manhattan MD.

[cali]

11. Hey, no knocking rural country docs

My doc now is good. My prior doc, who decided to quit a couple of years ago, was fantastic. My orthopedist when I smashed my leg up and required 3 surgeries was amazing (hey, you get a lot of practice as an orthopedist if you work right by Stowe Mountain).

There are a lot of excellent rural docs.

[dawnie51]

17. You are correct...

bad example. No physician period would have written that letter.

[canetoad]

12. No doctor would write

'Only positive results'.

It would be something like 'unremarkable' or 'within normal range'. Positive results means he has something wrong.

[treestar]

23. good point

I've ready many doctor's reports, and that is not in doctor language.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

41. "Negative is good?"

[Ilsa]

52. Maybe that's the dr's version of secret code.

[3catwoman3]

74. Exactly. If your rapid strep test is...

...positive, you have strep. If your urine culture is positive, you have a UTI. If your pregnancy test is positive, you are preggers. If your drug screen is positive, you've been using. If your TB test is positive, you are not a happy camper. If your chest Xray is positive, there is something in your lungs that shouldn't be there.

[steve2470]

123. Precisely, you nailed it

I've read a lot of doctor-generated documentation, and that's exactly what they say. I'd be shocked if a real MD wrote this. More like Trump wrote it and his paid-off doc signed it.

[PatSeg]

13. I wonder how much Bornstein

got paid for his signature. Obviously no doctor wrote that letter.

[spooky3]

61. And wouldn't that be a breach of medical ethics?

[SharonClark]

93. If it isn't, it should be.

[PatSeg]

102. You would think so

Of course, Trump doesn't have dealings with too many ethical people.

[napkinz]

15. We don’t just need to see Trump’s taxes — we need a real medical report on him

Donald Trump isn’t just a bloviating fraud, he might truly be physically unfit to be president

SOPHIA MCCLENNEN
AUG 10, 2016

There has been a recent flurry of news media coverage that has focused on whether or not Trump might not be well, whether he might suffer from dementia or Alzheimer’s, and whether or not his thin skin and uncontrollable temper might be a problem for a president. Even more disturbing we learned of his inability to understand why we should not nuke Europe. Then–after all that–we get the frightening and unhinged 2nd Amendment comment. Clearly we have reason to question whether or not he has the ability to do the job.

Anticipating that concern, Trump released a letter from his physician back in December attesting that“if elected, Mr. Trump, I can state unequivocally, will be the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency.” When the letter was first released many laughed it off. It seemed like yet another sign of a bombastic and surreal campaign. But now that we are only months away from the general election it is time to return to that letter and wonder if it is further proof that Trump is scamming the US public.

-snip-

The letter does not uphold even the flimsiest medical standard and it uses hyperbolic language that has no connection at all to facts. Aside from making the outrageous and completely unverifiable claim that Trump would be the healthiest president ever, it makes other odd statements. We read, for instance, that he has had a medical exam that revealed “only positive results.” In the medical community a “positive result” means a bad prognosis. What we want are “normal” results. The letter uses the word “excellent” twice in relation to medical tests—another oddity since again the standard would be to say “normal.” The letter also states that Trump’s only medical issue was an appendectomy but there is no mention of the bone spur, which kept him from serving in Viet Nam.

Apart from the lack of scientific rigor, the letter starts with “To Whom My Concern.” It is worth pausing to worry that the physician who has been taking care of Trump since 1980 has such a poor command of the English language. In fact, the language in the letter mirrors the same sort of bombastic language common to Trump-speak. The writing was so bizarre that it led Robert Reich to wonder if it had been written by Trump himself.

[Stryguy]

126. Yeah a letter from a shrink

Yeah but a medical report from a physician is the wrong type of doctor in my opinion. Lets get one from a psychologist.

[63splitwindow]

16. Considering that he ALWAYS accuses his opponent of those things HE IS MOST GUILY of...

you are damn right it is a bought and paid for bullshit opinion.

[catbyte]

18. I thought it was bogus from the beginning. No actual M.D. would use superlatives like

"astonishingly excellent", "health is extraordinary", or, my personal favorite "healthiest person ever..."

Give me a break. This was Don the Con pretending to be his doctor instead of his assistant. It's childish and reminds me of a kid forging a note from mom to explain why little Donny wasn't in 3rd period Study Hall.

Pathetic.

On edit: I just thought of something--why would a GI specialist be giving him a complete physical instead of a GP or FP physician?

[jmowreader]

113. You KNOW why a GI specialist is giving Trump complete physicals

A complete asshole like Trump needs to visit a doctor that specializes in that part of the anatomy.

[mrmpa]

21. On webmd.com, Dr. Bornstein only gets........

it was available when I posted. I guess the Doc is having some problems.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

46. The information is still there but you have to start over

from the "find a doctor" page.

[FreeState]

22. If its a free Gmail account its not HIPPA compliant

Thats a huge no-no.

[trev343]

25. Rumor has it

That Trump was prescribed Meth for many years, which could be causing his personality disorder.

[AwakeAtLast]

39. How Hitleresque

And clears up a lot of things if true.

[Mendocino]

53. You nailed it.

Hitler was claimed to be a vegetarian, celibate, a teetotaler, an "aryan superman" immune to the faults and desires of the common person. He was none of those and his life ended with being a total drug addict. I'm no doctor, but Dullard does not seem to be in good health. He is overweight and wears increasingly ill fitting suits to try to cover it up. He looks puffy and blotchy. He seems to have labored breathing. His gait is unsteady. I think he has advanced cardiovascular problems. Melania is just marking time to this toad drops dead.

[DesertRat]

60. His doctor said Trump 'will be healthiest individual ever elected' president

http://www.cnn.com/2015/12/14/politics/donald-trump-medical-bill-health/

73. You goofed, posting pictures of golfer John Daly...

....oh sorry, you didn't.

[DesertRat]

84. If Daly had an orange mullet

[PJMcK]

129. John Daly would never wear such obnoxious slacks! (n/t)

[3catwoman3]

78. He does not look particularly healthy.

With as angry as he is all the time, I am dubious about the quoted blood pressure reading.

And that middle picture - Trump is a big ass, and he has a big ass.

[DesertRat]

85. Exactly!

Must be due to all the taco salads he consumes.

[DesertRat]

50. Where did you hear that rumor?

[SwankyXomb]

56. On the Internet, of course

So it must be true.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

26. An obvious fake playing to his cult. And smokescreen for Hannity's attack on HRC.

Ailes advising and Hannity the water boy.

[Marie Marie]

28. He's kidding, right??

That is laughable.

[cali]

33. Laughable it is. Kidding he is not.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

29. Seems rather effusive/adoring of Trump

:-/

[Initech]

30. Does he have regenerative blood like Khan on Star Trek? No?

Then get the fuck out!

[hlthe2b]

32. there is NO physician, NO veterinarian, no nurse nor dentist who would not know POSITIVE results

INDICATE ABNORMALITIES. The language used in medicine is that NEGATIVE results are normal, not Positive.

This is pure BS and clearly a letter crafted by a medical ILLITERATE.

[Sunlei]

35. probably not fake. The 'rich & famous' like a Doctor who enables them & are also 'rich & famous'

[pnwmom]

59. Probably fake. The long-dead father's name is still listed on the letterhead. n/t

[world wide wally]

36. Is it a "law" that a candidate release a medical status documents?

[oldtime dfl_er]

38. As fake as the Meredith McIver letter

Which, by the way, NEVER apologizes to FLOTUS Michelle Obama. These fake documents are so sycophantic, so fawning and so unprofessional that I wonder why anybody takes them seriously.

[Fast Walker 52]

77. good reminder of that obvious fake!

his whole campaign is too unbelievably bizarre.

[Ms. Toad]

40. statin = high cholesterol, or a risk (like diabetes) for high cholesterol

Same for the aspirin, although since that is over the counter he could be self-medicating.

[spanone]

42. 'astonishingly excellent' sounds like it was written by dr trump

[JenniferJuniper]

72. Exactly..I read medical records all day long and

doctors simply don't write shit like that.

Sounds just like Trump though.

[ThoughtCriminal]

54. No, his doctor was being sarcastic.

[Moonwalk]

83. Ha-HA! ^ This!

Bravo!

[erpowers]

55. He Cannot Say That

Even if that is Donald Trump's real doctor he cannot say that Trump will be the healthiest person elected President. Since he was not the doctor for every President he does not know whether or not Trump is healthier than the other Presidents. In addition, I would go as far as to say Trump is not healthier President Obama. President Obama is much younger and as far as I know works out much more than Donald Trump.

[spooky3]

65. And obviously the dead ones did not give permission

for their private records to be released, even if the physician HAD examined some of them.

Trump is not a good liar if his lies are so obvious.

[pnwmom]

58. And why would the physician's DEAD FATHER still be listed on the letterhead?

The letter is a fake, and this has been clear since the day it was first released. I'm glad the story has come up again.

[SwankyXomb]

96. That could be for legal reasons

As a medical corporation. My childhood doctor's name was on the door long after he passed.

A better question might be why was Don seeing a specialist in gynecological oncology? Is there something he's not telling us?

[Botany]

62. Well it turns out Trump lied about finishing top of his class @ Wharton too

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10028096415

Melania college degree ... lie

[3catwoman3]

63. If his lab results are so...

...astonishingly excellent," why is he on a statin?

[yardwork]

64. The bombastic language in the letter says that Trump wrote it.

The whole letter sounds just like him.

And why is he taking a statin?

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

66. Absolute twaddle.

The fact that anyone falls for this or any of Trump's blowhardy prattle is a testament to the pathetic lack of logical thinking skills among the masses.

[tanyev]

68. I still don't understand why this in itself didn't get Trump laughed out of the GOP primary.

[Moonwalk]

90. It was released in December, when the GOP was absolutely, positively, 100% sure he'd never win....

...so why bother kicking him out? At this point, however, any sane republicans who haven't sprinted over to Hillary are either getting very drunk or thinking of slitting their wrists. If Trump hasn't embarrassed them into a hole yet, the resurfacing of this letter will. It's so amateur, so ridiculous, so amazingly stupid! And there's no escaping it now that Trump and Hannity have made Hillary's health a "thing." They've invited every news outlet, pundit, democrat, comedian or internet wit to ruthlessly hammer and mock this letter, Trump's doctor, Trump's health, Trump, Trump voters, his surrogates, and the RNC.

This should fuel the Democratic campaign across the nation for at least this week if not the rest of August. I wonder what Trump et al will give us next?

[FreeStateDemocrat]

70. Watch him when gets off a plane he has a death grip on railing with head down to see the next step

as he slowing plods down, he is a an unhealthy old man. By comparison watch Obama dance down the middle of stairs waving to the crowd with head up and moving in a robust manner! Despite the age difference, ASSWIPE is in poor condition, I'm 70, conditioned and I don't use the hand rail and can confidently walk down the middle of steps. This is dead give away, if he has that much trouble walking down a flight of steps, he must really struggle just to walk up one flight. Get Hannity on it, he has all the medical expertise necessary to make a fair and balanced pronouncement on tubby's health.

[pnwmom]

71. And don't forget that Trump originally trumpeted the name of the DEAD FATHER, Jacob,

as the doctor who wrote the report.

How could Trump forget that the doctor who has been treating him since 1980 is named HAROLD, not Jacob?

[wheniwasincongress]

82. It's not fake

Donald J. Trump has the most best, most spectacular health of any human ever recorded and would have liked to participate in the current Olympics but his Presidential campaign has rendered him busy. His glowing skin tone indicates health of the highest caliber and his eyes reflect extremely high intelligence. --Trump spokesman John Miller

[Rex]

86. But what about his baby hands doc? His tiny little fingers, they are like vienna sausages!

87. Apparently this "Doctor" wrote his own review

-Harold bornstein md in 101east 78th street nyc 10075 | Jan 22, 2016
Extrairdinary

And no, I didn't misspell extraordinary.

This "Doctor" also was sued for over-medicating a colonoscopy patient in 2000. It was settled in 2006.

The doctor who gave Donald Trump an outrageously enthusiastic health assessment was sued for allowing a colonoscopy patient to die in 2000.

Court papers filed in Brooklyn Supreme Court charged that Dr. Harold Bornstein was performing the procedure on 57-year-old Vincent Pollifrone when the patient was “improperly medicated” and died of a drug overdose that could have been prevented.

This medical report is phony as a six dollar bill.

[tavernier]

88. Nurse here for 40 years. Document is as phony

as Trump University diploma. I've worked with hundreds of docs, and not ONE would ever write a paper so silly and sophomoric. I'm surprised he didn't sign it "Mr. Trumps Phyzishun."

[postatomic]

92. I'm not in the medical field

But I has access to ALL my medical records which includes letters sent to my GP Doctor. Nothing comes close to this phony letter.

[JBoy]

105. Signed, Epstein's mother.

[tavernier]

106. Zactly.

[eppur_se_muova]

125. LOL, saved me from posting it ! nt

[Pathwalker]

89. It is dangerously shameful that the press doesn't care about this fraud

being perpetrated with such an obvious fraudulent "report". If only we could make them investigate this blatant in-your-face bullshit. I consider them Don The Con's accomplices.

[cali]

107. Check

Let's push this.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

119. This thread exists because the press is investigating this fraud: Newsweek, Salon. Read OP. nt

[Moonwalk]

95. Lucky for us that he released this back in December....

...before his campaign had gained people who *might* have created something more legitimate looking. I mean, could anything look more amateur? Trump REALLY must have created it himself! As I said in another post, it reads like Trump flashing back to faking a note from his mother to his elementary school teacher. I can even hear him saying to his wife as he types it up in bed, "This'll be easy. I use to create fake letters like these all the time....won't take but a few minutes. You just throw in a few terms that sound medical, like 'statin' and cardiovascular. No one will know the difference."

And I'm sure this would fool those voting for him, even most of the American public, which is all he thought he needed to fool while in the primaries.

But now he's up for president and if he's bringing up Hillary's health, then there's no way this letter isn't going to come back to haunt him. And it can be seen not only instantly as a fraud, but ridiculously so from so many different angles: From any college kid whose going to roll his eyes at the Trump's inability to mask his use of a word processing program, to doctors, to journalists, to, well, frankly, anyone with half a brain.

As Trump would put it...the letter is a disaster.

[ailsagirl]

97. It also says

"To Whom My Concern"

"astonishingly excellent" (not exactly an objective medical phrase-- lousy writing, to boot)

Along with all the other things you pointed out!!

This letter is phony as the day is long!!

[ReformedGOPer]

98. No doctor would say

he lost "at least" 15 pounds. And, most doctors spell it "orthopaedic".

[kentuck]

99. I don't think the guy ever sleeps...

and he is not in good health because of sleep deprivation. It clouds the mind and limits the ability to reason in a responsible way.

There are probably other conditions that we do not know about and will not know about because of his tendency to hide everything from the public.

[central scrutinizer]

100. Don't gastroenterologists do colonscopies?

Have they found his head yet?

[Fritz Walter]

144. Nope.

But they did find the keys to Vladimir Putin's limo in the middle of the transverse colon.

[spanone]

103. meanwhile trump is attacking Hillary's health

Hillary health myth: From Twitter theories to a Trump speech

In the 2016 presidential campaign, the line between fringe theory and stump speech material is blurring.

In less than a month, unsubstantiated claims about Hillary Clinton's health have gone from chatter on Twitter to an attack line by Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.

Without offering any evidence, Mr Trump said in Ohio on Monday that she "lacks the mental and physical stamina to take on Isis [Islamic State] and all of the many adversaries we face". Mr Trump, 70, is almost two years older than Mrs Clinton.

Most of the latest reports on her health assert that she never recovered from a blood clot that she suffered in 2012, and is keeping her frailty secret.

http://www.bbc.com/news/election-us-2016-37090082

109. Here's some fun. Before they "fixed" it, Trump referred to his doctor by his long dead father's name

Of course, on the internets, nothing is ever really "fixed."

110. Trump probably confused it with the dead doctors's million dollar letter to Trump's draft board

Easy mistake, as that long-ago letter was the one that really counted. Gotta be impressed with a doctor who can get you excused from war for a sudden, temporary condition that prevents military service but not playing 5 or 6 sports.

[jcgoldie]

111. Better check Dr. Bornstein's facebook page

I bet he's wearing the same dress as Meredith McIver in Trump's office with a different head or something.

[jmowreader]

112. I found the doctor who wrote that

[mwooldri]

114. Letter is probably as genuine as Obama's Kenyan birth certificate.

that's my opinion anyway.

[CarrieLynne]

116. and those comments.....

I mean really...."...the healthiest person ever elected to office" lol! First of all...I can hear the "lemme tell you...' right after that lol but what Dr would make a statement like that knowing they have not examined every president for comparison? Lol

Certainly..... certainly......Obama is healthier...I mean....really lol

[world wide wally]

117. I sure hope this becomes an issue since he's pushing Hillary's legitimate doctor's report

[Spitfire of ATJ]

120. His tests have had positive results for what? Hep C? Syph?

[JohnnyRingo]

121. This document needs extreme vetting. ExTREEME... EXTREEEME vetting.

I'm glad Newsweek is on it.

Thanx for posting.

122. Too feeble for the Vietnam draft, but suddenly now immortal

As one who served back then and got a REAL Purple Heart (which I never "always wanted&quot , forgive me for calling 'bullshit' on this puffed up charlatan and all of his bogus testimonials.

[cali]

124. Forgive you? Fuck no. Not when there is NOTHING to forgive.

[pinboy3niner]

127. This really hits home for me

Too many friends died in faraway jungles while Trump went on with his playboy life and joked that avoiding STDs was his Vietnam.

I have no problem with those who avoided service in that war out of conscience (and as a congressional intern I wrote my Rep's press release reporting and explaining President Carter's draft amnesty).

But for Trump avoiding service was just a matter of convenience and privilege. Let the chumps get called up, he was above that.

When Trump's student deferments ran out he was a prime candidate for the draft. He got a doctor to spare him. I wonder who went in his place, and what happened to him. Unknowable, of course, but we know about the suffering and the carnage and the 58,000 Americans who didn't have compliant doctors and who served, and who died. While the guy who claims to be the best patriot ever stayed home.



R.I.P. to my friends They may not have liked it or even agreed with it. They may have gone because their dads and uncles went in WWII. Or because they heard JFK appeal to our generation to "Ask not..." For whatever reason, they showed up. Some probaby would have loved to have had a doctor who could get them out of it...but they weren't privileged, so they went. And died. While the truly privileged endured combat against STDs and lamented that horrible ordeal.

R.I.P., my friends. You would not believe the people who are being elevated since your passing. But some of us still remember who you were and what you did and what we lost in losing you.

[cali]

128. I could tell from your initial terse comment- the one I responded to.

I don't what to say to you. I suppose I could glibly thank you for your service, but I won't. I can only say you I'm so sorry for the losses you endure. And that I think your outrage over Trump vis a vis the Vietnam War and his callous comments and egocentric pov, is entirely justified. It's one I share, though I certainly don't have the personal connection to loss and the horror of the Vietnam war that you do.

With respect,

cali

130. No 70 year old is in perfect health

No matter how careful we are, life, time and gravity have their way with us.

"He has no history of ever using alcohol..."

Oh for Christ's sake, with his life style? Please.

[napkinz]

131. why isn't this story being covered by the news networks?

You can bet if Hillary had concocted such a letter it would be a top story.

[cali]

132. it is- albeit anemically. But you are right. This should have been covered the moment

he released this ludicrous document. We need to keep pushing this via social media.

[napkinz]

133. what do we need to do, suffix a "gate" to it?

Lettergate?

or maybe just combine all Don the Con's scandals and call it Trumpgate.

[cali]

134. Donnybrook.

[napkinz]

135. that's a good one!

[LynneSin]

137. Oh come off it - how could you doubt something Trump told us....

Ok I tried to post that with a seriousness and straight face but dagnabbit that's hard to do!!

[cali]

139. You set yourself a sisyphean task. Imfuckingpossible.

[uppityperson]

138. The sig extending past the sig line is no big deal. People who sign big do that.

As for the rest, it reads as something a kid wrote to give to his school to explain his skipping school. It is not in any way a document to be taken seriously by a doctor. It says nothing in flourishes. I agree, why would he be seeing a gastroenterologist for 35 yrs?

[backscatter712]

140. About as authentic as Trump's PR guy John Miller...

[Historic NY]

141. Looks like a note a kid typed to get out of school....

To whom my concern........ really Donald, you do always talk about yourself

[napkinz]

146. Rachel covering the story right now on MSNBC!

[cali]

148. good. this needs to be investigated. Not just reported on.

[Lsantos04]

147. Donald's "doctor" is probably a quack, just like Trump himself

Seriously, with the way Trump has been behaving recently, it's pretty obvious that his mental health is in question. And didn't a news report recently confirm that Trump's campaign has taken a great toll on his general health?

[DesertRat]

150. I didn't see that news report about Trumps's health

Do you have a link? Thanks!

[sarcasmo]

149. haroldbornsteinmd.com - try going to that site.

[Initech]

151. Does Trump have Khan's super blood from Star Trek?

[CanonRay]

152. So are there any AMA or state licensing recorder on this guy?

[napkinz]

153. if only Hillary had the mental and physical stamina of Donald Trump

Trump: Clinton Lacks ‘Mental and Physical Stamina’ to Fight ISIS
by Josh Feldman | August 15th, 2016

“She also lacks the mental and physical stamina to take on ISIS and all of the many adversaries we face, not only in terrorism but in trade and every other challenge we must confront.”

154. Trump tweets ...

[Coyotl]

155. Is Dr. Bornstein actually a doctor at said hospital? Answer, "Trump lies again."
