Donald Trump's personal physician has declared that the Republican front-runner would "be the healthiest" president in the history of the United States. "If elected, Mr. Trump, I can state unequivocally, will be the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency," Dr. Harold N. Bornstein, a gastroenterologist who works at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York, wrote in a signed statement released publicly on Monday, reported CNN.
"Over the past 39 years, I am pleased to report that Mr. Trump has had no significant medical problems," wrote Bornstein, noting that he has been Trump's doctor since 1980.
Bornstein also called Trump's blood pressure and lab results "astonishingly excellent."
Trump's blood pressure is 110/65, according to Bornstein, better than the normal blood pressure for a healthy adult, which is 120/80.
"Over the past twelve months, he has lost at least fifteen pounds," Bornstein continued. "Mr. Trump takes 81 mg of aspirin daily and a low dose of a statin. His PSA test score is 0.15 (very low). His physical strength and stamina are extraordinary."
Bornstein wrote that Trump has "suffered no form of cancer," has never had a hip, knee or shoulder replacement and only had surgery once when he was 10 to remove his appendix.
Trump will turn 70 on Election Day and would be the oldest president to be elected in U.S. history, according to NPR.
Shortly after releasing the doctor's note, he jumped on Facebook to brag: "I am proud to share this report, written by the highly respected Dr. Harold Bornstein of Lenox Hill Hospital, stating that I am in excellent health. I am fortunate to have been blessed with great genes --- both of my parents had very long and productive lives. I have truly enjoyed working on the campaign trail with one objective in mind, to Make America Great Again!
People have been impressed by my stamina, but to me it has been easy because I am truly doing something that I love. Our country will soon be better and stronger than ever before."
