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 physicianâs note released by his campaign Monday.
"I am fortunate to have been blessed with great genes," Mr. Trump said in a statement accompanying the doctorâs 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.
âIf elected, Mr. Trump, I can state unequivocally, will be the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency,â 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 doctorâs 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.

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.
where’s Hillary’s bill of health and I don’t mean Hillarycare...
Which park did Hillary hide that body in?
PS That was 15 years ago.
She had the body of a cheerleader alright—in a trunk somewhere....
That had to be a LIE.
No cheerleader I've seen has "cankles."
donalds physical... health...gets an A
Hillarys probably nowhere nearly as “healthy”
You want proof? Hillary’s bloodwork is 100 Proof!
Insurance against getting Breitbarted...
“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.”
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.
the body of a cheerleader
Yep, that is her in the middle.
What makes health astonishing? Was he expected to have poor health?
mean body temperature.....32 degrees
In 2000, did Donald Trump vote for HRC or Rick Lazio?
Funny how so much of the MSM is so anally-focused....
