Is Trump the most fake president in history?


Exclusive: Bornstein claims Trump dictated the glowing health letter

CNN) — When Dr. Harold Bornstein described in hyperbolic prose then-candidate Donald Trump's health in 2015, the language he used was eerily similar to the style preferred by his patient.

It turns out the patient himself wrote it, according to Bornstein.

"He dictated that whole letter. I didn't write that letter," Bornstein told CNN on Tuesday. "I just made it up as I went along."

The admission is an about face from his answer more than two years when the letter was released and answers one of the lingering questions about the last presidential election. The letter thrust the eccentric Bornstein, with his shoulder-length hair and round eyeglasses, into public view.

"His physical strength and stamina are extraordinary," he crowed in the letter, which was released by Trump's campaign in December 2015. "If elected, Mr. Trump, I can state unequivocally, will be the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency."

The missive didn't offer much medical evidence for those claims beyond citing a blood pressure of 110/65, described by Bornstein as "astonishingly excellent." It claimed Trump had lost 15 pounds over the preceding year. And it described his cardiovascular health as "excellent."

The White House didn't respond to a request for comment about Bornstein's claim.

Later, as questions mounted over the health both of Trump and his rival Hillary Clinton, Bornstein offered a more businesslike assessment, listing things such as Trump's height, weight and prescription medications.

He later told CNN's Drew Griffin he'd dashed off the first letter as he was seeing patients.

"I was just rushed for time," he said in September 2016. "I had people to see."

He insisted then that the words were his own.

"Did I really write that letter? Yeah," he said.

Now, as Bornstein re-enters the spotlight claiming Trump's ex-bodyguard Keith Schiller robbed his office when Schiller retrieved Trump's medical records, the story behind the letter is becoming clearer.

"That's black humor, that letter. That's my sense of humor," he said. "It's like the movie 'Fargo': It takes the truth and moves it in a different direction."

He said Trump read out the language as Bornstein and his wife were driving across Central Park.

"(Trump) dictated the letter and I would tell him what he couldn't put in there," he said. "They came to pick up their letter at 4 o'clock or something."

Well if he knows more about war than all the Generals. Who wouldn't think that he knows more about medicine that all the Doctors.

PRESIDENT Trump has already done more for The American People than the last four Presidents combined.

Nah he didn't fake his own health. he helped choose the words to describe his health. His annual physical at the White House supports the claims he was in good health during the campaign.

Oh is that it? Interesting, so the White House physical supports: "If elected, Mr. Trump, I can state unequivocally, will be the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency."

and

"has "extraordinary" stamina and physical strength "

Fascinating, all that is supported....

How is that now faked?

No no no I was very clear in stating that he didn't fake the health and the words to describe his health were his own.

Fake would be if his blood pressure were 133/90 and he claimed 110/65.

How the 110/65 was described has nothing at all to do with whether the health was fake or not.

" His annual physical at the White House supports the claims he was in good health during the campaign."

You believe that Trump weighs 239 pounds?

It's pretty clear that Ronny Jackson traded his integrity for an appointment as head of the VA.

So in other words, for nothing. lol :o)

Trump is the first POTUS elected based on a post modern epistimiology. If he is the last, remains to be seen, but clearly there is potential in not having a limite scope for what is ”true”.

I cannot see where PRESIDENT Trump lied.

Yes, he juiced it up for political reasons where his doctor would have written a boring list of facts.

So, where is the lie if you think there is one?

”His physical strength and stamina are extraordinary,"

^ a lie. Compared to the vast majority his strength and stamina are not extraodrinary.

"If elected, Mr. Trump, I can state unequivocally, will be the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency."

^ a lie. Clinton, Obama, and many others, had better health, strength and stamina.

He just made up everything without having any proof. It is called lying.

"You guys made the claim, prove he isn't."

1. "prove a negative". You're stupid.

2. Trump made the health related claims. Burden of proof lies on him (or in this case: you, as you support his claims). You're stupid.

3. The guy is over 70. There's no way he is going to ever be considered "the healthiest president ever" against the likes of a JFK or an Obama, who were perfectly healthy < 50 year olds. Even a mint condition 70 year old just doesn't compare to an in-good-health 45 year old. You're stupid.

Oslima's was mental plus he smoked.
