GOP FRONTRUNNER RELEASES RESULTS OF MEDICAL EXAM
Fulfilling a campaign promise, GOP presidential frontrunner Donald Trump released the results of a medical examination conducted by his longtime personal physician, Dr. Harold Bornstein.
According to a statement accompanying Bornstein’s evaluation of Trump (.pdf here), the 69-year-old businessman has “no significant medical problems” and a “recent complete medical examination … showed only positive results.” In fact Bornstein said Trump’s blood pressure and lab results were both “astonishingly excellent.”
“If elected, Mr. Trump, I can state unequivocally, will be the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency,” he said.
Trump would be seventy years old on Inauguration Day 2017 – and assuming he’s the individual taking the oath of office at that time, he would be the oldest person ever to do so (Ronald Reagan was 69 years old on the date of his first inauguration).
“I am fortunate to have been blessed with great genes – both of my parents had very long and productive lives,” Trump said in a statement accompanying the release of Bornstein’s observations.
He’s correct. Trump’s father died at the age of 94 and his mother passed away at the age of 89.
“My father was in great shape until he was really like almost 90,” Trump told radio host Hugh Hewitt earlier this year. “My mother was in great shape almost until the end, and mentally, her capacity was 100 percent, so from a genetic standpoint, very good.”
Trump’s check-up comes in response to media reports suggesting his poor dietary and lifestyle choices would make him a risky bet for the presidency.
“Trump has said that he does not exercise or play sports regularly and that he eats whatever he wants – a diet heavy on bacon and steak,” reported Ben Schreckinger of Politico earlier this month.

He eats bacon! How can that not be a drastic improvement over our current situation?
Now that was FUNNY!
Y’all realize the Doctor who wrote this glowing note, that gives the impression it was written very recently, has been dead since 2010. Trump has his people writing letters for dead people now.
LOL!!!

The doctor sounds like Donald.
There obviously wasn’t a psychiatric evaluation: Narcissistic personality disorder.
Trump can only hope to get the same kind of diagnosis I get.
Could be worse, he could be obsessed with men’s dicks.
lol
That’s so damn funny. You’re a dick, but a funny dick.

What about the mental health of his supporters? That’s certainly questionable!
For Shifty
During his examination, Trump asked Dr. Harold Bornstein, “Being a doctor and a Jew, can I ask for your opinion on a controversial issue?”
“Sure”, replied Dr. Bornstein.
Trump, ” When does a Jewish fetus become viable?”
Dr. Harold Bornstein, “That’s easy. When he graduates from medical school.”
Very – very – good….
My longevity is huuuugggggeeee! I’ll be the best President ever and I’ll live longer than Methuselah.
You’re all going to love me as much as FDR and I’ll do an executive order rescinding the 22nd Amendment.
As said by Dr. Harvey Kellog: “My bowels are in perfect condition”…………………
“Road to Wellville” (book & movie) – both of which are some of my all time favorites!!!
This is a thinly veiled shot at Hilliary.
She does appear rather frail and haggard lately. Maybe she just needs slow down and pace herself. Bless her heart.
Huma hasn’t been changing Hillary’s Depends often enough…..
Trump is about six months older than I am. HEALTHY OLD FARTS RULE. LOL I’m coming around to Trump more and more. Although my personal beliefs are more in line with Cruz, I realize we are only 10 to 15% of the Republican Party. I don’t want to see another Goldwater. Trump is garnering support from all over the political spectrum. If anyone can take on and take out Hillary it will be Trump. If he can get past the establishment stabbing him in the back, we just might have a POTUS to be proud of.
Cruz would be the best choice bc he is a TRUE CONSERVATIVE. Trump talks tough which appeals to the blue collar types and more simple minded republicans. But the Republican Party needs to have the balls to nominate Cruz.
I wish. If Trump gets screwed out of the nomination , it won’t be Cruz that will get it . It will be Romney and we will lose again. Our candidate , meaning the conservative candidate , has to get a majority of delegates on the first ballot or it will wind up going to a mushy middle moderate establishment type and we lose.
Trump says,”Ted Cruz does not have the “right temperament.”
Hahaha Hahaha Hahaha Ha-ha-ha snort Hahaha Hahaha Hahaha Hahaha snort snort oooaughoaua gasp.
Well, fiddle-de-dee..!!
