Donald Trump Reveals 'Astonishingly Excellent' Health from his physician
Wall Street Journal ^ | 12/14/2015 | By HEATHER HADDON

Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump has dropped 15 pounds in the last year, doesn't drink or smoke and could be "the healthiest individual ever elected" president in U.S. history, according to an effusive physician’s note released by his campaign Monday.

"I am fortunate to have been blessed with great genes," Mr. Trump said in a statement accompanying the doctor’s letter. "People have been impressed by my stamina, but to me it has been easy because I am truly doing something that I love."

A recent examination of the 69-year-old businessman's health showed only positives, said Dr. Harold N. Bornstein, a physician based at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York.

“If elected, Mr. Trump, I can state unequivocally, will be the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency,” Dr. Bornstein wrote in a letter dated Dec. 4.

Mr. Trump is one of the last presidential candidates to release their medical records. A doctor's letter released by Democrat Hillary Clinton's campaign in July stated the former secretary of state had allergies and a thyroid condition but was fit to serve.

Republican Jeb Bush's doctor wrote in October that the former Florida governor's elevated blood pressure had eased up with "intensification of exercise, careful eating habits and loss of weight."

Mr. Trump has made light recently of his taste for eggs, bacon and steak, but the fatty diet doesn't appear to have caught up with his health, according to the doctor’s letter.

The celebrity entrepreneur has never had cancer, ranked low for prostate cancer and has good cardiovascular health, Dr. Bornstein wrote. He had an appendectomy at age ten, but no major surgery since. The doctor said Mr. Trump takes an aspirin a day and a low-dose of a statin, a drug typically used to control cholesterol.

"Actually, his blood pressure, 110/65, and laboratory test results were astonishingly excellent," Dr. Bornstein wrote. "His physical strength and stamina are extraordinary."

I think only Republicans are obligated to divulge their medical conditions. Democrats get the customary, complete pass. Would be interesting to see Bernie Sanders medical records.

I'm sure Trump is in good health. But I also know to take these things with a grain of salt. It was during Hillary Clinton's first Senatorial campaign that her personal physician described her as having, “the body of a cheerleader”.

Which park did Hillary hide that body in?

PS That was 15 years ago.

That had to be a LIE.

No cheerleader I've seen has "cankles."

Maybe the fatty diet is why he is healthy. Maybe we have been lied to for over 30 years by people who simply do not want us to eat meat.

... for a fat guy.

The other posters are right though, only republicans are scrutinized this way, health records, 10 years of tax returns, school transcripts...

In 2000, did Donald Trump vote for HRC or Rick Lazio?
