After his constant crowing about the alt-right inspired conspiracy theory about Hillary’s health, the Clinton-loving media went investigating the doctor that gave Trump an incredibly positive and outlandish note to give to the media.
It turns out he’s just as ridiculous as Trump is:

From the Hill:
Donald Trump’s long-time doctor said he spent five minutes writing his letter last year that claimed Trump would be healthiest president ever elected, according to an NBC report.
Dr. Harold Bornstein told NBC Nightly News that he wrote the letter endorsing Trump’s physical condition while a limo sent by his campaign was parked outside the doctor’s office.
“I tried to get four or five lines down as fast as possible,” he said.
Bornstein said he wrote the letter himself, but added, “I think I might have picked up his kind of language and then interpreted it as my own.”
Bornstein wrote last December that Trump would be healthier than every other president at the time they were elected, a claim considered impossible to prove.
When asked about the statement, Borstein told NBC: “I like that sentence to be quite honest with you and all the rest of them are either sick or dead.”
Wow. Sounds more like a comedian than a doctor. Or rather, a joke.
The letter’s hyperbolic statements about Trump’s “astonishingly excellent” health were also widely mocked at the time by his Democratic opponents, as well as health experts.
In his NBC interview, Bornstein doubled down on his statements and reiterated: “His health is excellent, especially his mental health.”
Here’s a video about the guy:
Absurd.
Ironically, Ben Carson, the worst surrogate in presidential history, actually called for el Trumpo to release his medical records.
