The letter from Bornstein is much more straightforward and professional than one he wrote for Trump in December 2015, in which he bizarrely proclaimed that Trump “would be the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency”.

But, he added, “When you’re running for president of the United States, or maybe any other country, I think you have an obligation to be healthy”.
Next, Trump turned over to Dr. Oz the results of his just completed lab work, as summarized in a letter from his doctors. He also disclosed that the last time he had been in hospital was at the age of 11 to have his appendix removed. As recently as this week, he declined to say where he believes Obama was born.
DONALD TRUMP: I would say I see a person that’s 35 years old. “It’s insane”, the 70-year-old Trump said of 39-year-old Brady. Clinton’s pneumonia symptoms began around the start of this month, and she saw Bardack on September 2 for a low-grade fever, congestion and fatigue.
But when asked about The Donald J. Trump Foundation – his father’s charitable organization, for which Trump Jr.is a director – paying for a portrait of Trump, he denied knowledge as a campaign aide ended the interview. Likewise, a Republican might approve of Donald Trump’s positions on tax cuts while simultaneously experiencing concern about his tendency to engage in incendiary rhetoric. Instead of backing the campaign’s argument that he is under audit by the IRS, Trump’s son suggested that, quite simply, his dad doesn’t want the scrutiny.

Trump’s letter said the Republican is 6-foot-3 and 236 pounds – giving him a body mass index falling into the “overweight” range. The cholesterol, I think, is quite good. It’s tough because of the way I live, but the one thing I would like to do is be able to drop 15, 20 pounds.
“Without the media, this wouldn’t even be a contest, but the media has built her up, they’ve let her slide on every discrepancy, on every lie, on every DNC game, trying to get Bernie Sanders out of the thing”, Trump said. He has been pictured several times eating fast food on the campaign trail.

His blood pressure is 116 over 70, blood sugar is 99, and his triglyceride level, a type of fat in blood, is 61. While he has talked about his family members’ alcoholism and Alzheimer’s disease, the letter did not address those issues in his family health history. As he had reported in a previous letter that contained more hyperbole than facts, Trump is taking a cholesterol-lowering medication and baby aspirin.
