(90,708 posts)...someone tasked with making sure he didn't make a complete fool of himself. You're right that he seemed impaired -- I thought stoned, or not all there in some other way. He was way too loosey-goosey.

As a presidential candidate, I have instructed my long-time doctor to issue, within two weeks, a full medical report-it will show perfection 8:08 AM - 3 Dec 2015
Rachel asked a good question a few nights ago - who needs a gastroenterologist if he doesn't have a stomach problem?
"I think I picked up his kind of language and then just interpreted it to my own," Bornstein said.
When he sat down to write the letter, Bornstein who said he is board-certified in internal medicine and gastroenterology gushed that Trump's lab results were "astonishingly excellent." He state that the businessman's "cardiovascular status is excellent" but noted that he was taking a low dose of aspirin and a low dose of a cholesterol-busting statin.
Don the Con wrote that letter and this idiot will lose his license over it.
