WASHINGTON — Donald Trump released a letter from his physician Monday declaring that the Republican presidential candidate will be “the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency” if he wins in 2016.
The letter from Dr. Jacob Bornstein of Lenox Hill Hospital, identified as Trump’s personal physician since 1980, was released following a promise last week by Trump to disclose his medical records amid questions about the billionaire businessman’s health.
Trump, 69, has acknowledged eating a less-than-healthy diet — heavy on McDonalds — and said his primary form of exercise consists of speaking at campaign events.
Nonetheless, his medical evaluation — a glowing, four-paragraph assessment — said that Trump has suffered no significant medical problems over the past 39 years.
