Trump Doctor Wrote Health Letter in Just 5 Minutes as Limo Waited
by ANNA R. SCHECTER, CHRIS FRANCESCANI and TRACY CONNOR
Donald Trump's personal physician said he wrote a letter declaring Trump would be the healthiest president in history in just five minutes while a limo sent by the candidate waited outside his Manhattan office.
Dr. Harold Bornstein, who has been the GOP nominee's doctor for 35 years, told NBC News on Friday that he stands by his glowing assessment of the 70-year-old's physical state.

"His health is excellent, especially his mental health," he said in an exclusive interview at his Park Avenue office.

The bill-of-health letter was written and released in December but has drawn fresh scrutiny in recent days as Trump's allies have questioned Hillary Clinton's health, despite a letter from her doctor that said she has no serious issues.
"I THINK I PICKED UP HIS KIND OF LANGUAGE AND THEN JUST INTERPRETED IT TO MY OWN."In his letter, Bornstein said there were no "significant medical problems" in Trump's history and that a recent examination "showed only positive results."
"If elected, Mr. Trump, I can state unequivocally, will be the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency," Bornstein wrote.
Asked how he could justify the hyperbole, Bornstein said, "I like that sentence to be quite honest with you."
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.
"I think I picked up his kind of language and then just interpreted it to my own," he said.
Bronstein — who is board-certified in internal medicine and gastroenterology — wrote that Trump's lab results were "astonishingly excellent." He said the businessman's "cardiovascular status is excellent" but also that he was taking a low dose of aspirin and a low dose of a cholesterol-busting statin.
His blood pressure was a healthy 110/65, and a PSA test used to detect prostate cancer was "very low."
"His physical strength and stamina are extraordinary," the doctor wrote.

As a presidential candidate, I have instructed my long-time doctor to issue, within two weeks, a full medical report-it will show perfection

Just two weeks before Bornstein's letter was made public, Trump vowed to release "a full medical report."
"It will show perfection," he promised.
