Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump released a glowing medical report from his physician that claimed he was not only physically fit but would be “the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency.”
By every measure and diagnostic standard, Mr. Trump, 69, is a nearly-perfect physical specimen, including his blood pressure, his prostate and his strength, according to the report.
“His physical strength and stamina are extraordinary,” wrote Dr. Jacob Bornstein, who has been Mr. Trump’s physician since 1980.
Mr. Trump said that he was “fortunate to have been blessed with great genes — both of my parents had very long and productive lives.”
The billionaire businessman and realty TV star had a healthy blood pressure of 110/65 and the results of his laboratory blood tests were “astonishingly excellent,” according to Dr. Bornstein.
“Mr. Trump has suffered no form of cancer, has never had a hip, knee or shoulder replacement or any other orthopedic surgery. His only surgery was an appendectomy at age ten,” said the doctor. “His cardiovascular states is excellent. He has no history of ever using alcohol or tobacco products.”
“If elected, Mr. Trump, I can state unequivocally, will be the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency,” he said.
Mr. Trump said that his physical fitness has been displayed on the campaign trail, where he routinely spends hours on the stump.
“People have been impressed by my stamina, but to me it has been easy because I am truly doing something that I love,” he said “Our country will soon be better and stronger than ever before.”
