The physical was done September 9 by Dr. Harold N. Bornstein of New York City, the same doctor who raved about Trump’s health in a December statement.

The health of the candidates has recently been a major issue in the campaign, leading the doctors for both Clinton and Donald Trump to release notes declaring them fit to serve as president.
Mr Trump’s campaign released the letter after his opponent Hillary Clinton’s doctor released further medical details on Wednesday. “We play golf together-the great quarterback; he’s a phenomenal guy, great athlete”, Trump said, plugging his relationship, as he does often, with the Patriots quarterback and longtime golfing buddy.
Bornstein reported that Trump’s cholesterol level at 169; high-density lipoproteins, or HDL, at 63, and his low-density lipoproteins, or LDL, at 94. “He does not use tobacco products or alcohol”.
Dr. Harold N. Bornstein’s report indicated Trump keeps himself in excellent health.
Trump’s campaign said the examination, with his longtime doctor Harold N. Bornstein, took place September 9.
In his last note about Trump’s health in December 2015, Bornstein declared “unequivocally” that Trump would be the “healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency”.
Mr Trump says that, when he looks in the mirror, he sees a man much younger than his 70 years.
He was booked on the show more than a week ago, which means the plans pre-date Hillary Clinton’s recent health scare. “I’ve always been a little bit this way”, he conceded.
Mr Trump said that when running for president “you have an obligation to be healthy” because the job requires it.
“Hopefully they’re going to be good”, he said. In March of 2006, the Republican presidential candidate told “The View” co-hosts, “I’ve said if Ivanka weren’t my daughter, perhaps I’d be dating her”. “I just don’t think you can do the work if you’re not healthy”, he said.

“She is recovering well with antibiotics and rest”, said her doctor, Lisa Bardack, in a letter released by her campaign.
