Donald Trump has "extraordinary" stamina and physical strength and would be the healthiest person ever elected president, his doctor said in a statement released Monday.
Dr. Harold Bornstein, who has been Trump's personal physician since 1980, said that "over the past 39 years, I am pleased to report that Mr. Trump has had no significant medical problems."
The physician said that Trump has lost 15 pounds in the past year, has never had cancer or hip, knee or shoulder replacements and "has no history of ever using alcohol or tobacco products.
"If elected, Mr. Trump, I can state unequivocally, will be the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency," Bornstein said in the statement released by Trump's campaign.

Remember this scene in Sum of all Fears?
Zorkin: I am to be described as “ robust” and “healthy.”
Trump as president would mean 4 or even 8 years of listening to an insufferable braggart. Even his doctor is a braggart.
He was a niche New Wave guy with that one hit (#12). The video got heavy MTV rotation at the time. ironically, Adam got in trouble in a bar a few years ago. I guess he picked up on drinking after all.
His brother died from alcohol addiction.....
....his brother warned him to never touch it.....He doesn’t
He admonishes his kids to keep away from it.
This is something else we can thank Obama for. Prior to 2008, it was commonplace for Presidential candidates to release all of their medical records, but for some reason, Barry elected not to release his. What a coincidence. Instead, we got a note from his doctor, informing everyone that Zero was in the pink of health. Now, everyone releases a letter from their doctor, and we have to take their word on the candidate’s health.
Of course, Hillary wouldn’t dare release her records. That long recovery after she fell and bumped her head (along with Huma’s e-mails about HRC often being confused) suggest she may have some sort of neurological condition. And of course, she drinks like a fish.
We know how all this ends. At some point a candidate (or POTUS) will vapor lock after his or physician assures everyone that they are just fine. It’s amazing that the only recent President whose health was questioned was Ronaldus Magnus, a man who was in superb shape for someone in his 70s (when he was in office). Bill O’Baxter’s claim about Reagan showing signs of dementia while in the White House are pure rubbish.
As I’ve observed elsewhere, we’re on the cusp of a true revolution in anti-aging medicine and you can bet that billionaires like Trump have access to medical interventions that the rest of us can only dream about. There’s no reason why he can’t remain as active and energetic as he is now for another 15-20 years—more than enough to serve two terms with full vigor.
According to a google search:
Gerald Ford (38th president) was the President who lived the longest (93 years, 165 days)
Second and third in life span were Ronald Reagan (93 years, 120 days) and John Adams, (90 years plus.)
Contenders for the future:
As of June 12, 2012, George Bush (41) is the oldest living ex-President at 88.
As of October 1, 2012, Jimmy Carter (39) will also be 88.
Interesting information.
Longevity is one measure of health, but not the only one. A healthy man of 50 can be run over by a truck, or be stricken with cancer 20 years later, or live with Alzheimer’s for decades.
Apparently Grover Cleveland died at 71. He survived cancer and later died of a heart attack. So I do hope Trump is healthier than he was! :-)
Well, Trump has already outlived him.
(and I don't mean Mr. Ant!)
Lost 15 pounds.
Never smoked.
Never drank.
Healthiest blah blah blah forever.
All I really want to know from this doctor is, did he find a truly conservative bone anywhere in Trump’s body?
My systolic has creeped back over 150 so I’d better go back on the hypertensive drugs. My mother survived 220/110 though so I still may have a ways to go. No correlation to self-perceived energy level in either of us, which tends to be low for me regardless of BP.
At least I’ve never had cosmetic surgery which Trump and Fiorina seem to be competing for an over-the-top excess prize. Look at Trump’s exaggerated stretched areas around the eyes.
Yeah, that would have been nice.
At this point all we have are his conservative position papers.
I don’t believe that Hillary ever “fell,” but rather had a TIA or perhaps worse. The left lens of her glasses suggests that she suffers from a neuro-visual deficit because it looks like a Fresnel lens from a lighthouse.
