Related: About this forumTrump's doctor on NBC said he wrote letter in five minutes. He looks and sounds insane
Last edited Sat Aug 27, 2016, 12:24 AM - Edit history (3)
It is being discussed on CNN right now. This doctor looks absolutely insane. He is saying he was "under stress" and wrote the "letter in five minutes" while a limousine sent from Trump waited outside his office to retrieve said letter.
The doctor also added that Trump's mental health is "excellent." Isn't he a GI specialist? Yet he is now a psychiatrist also? This guy needs to be examined, seriously. He looks and behaves very strangely.
I am adding this image from the film Independence Day as suggested by another DUer (thank you JoePhilly!) as the actor's appearance is startlingly close to Trump's doctor:

I can't imagine how he behaved that would produce such reactions.

(65,487 posts)On Edit: Immediately after the video is another (much shorter) video with the doctor speaking--and responding to a question about his use of Trump's own language style.
Second Edit: This makes the guy sound as flaky as Trump:
In the interview with NBC News, Bornstein moderated his language.
"I don't think he's in any better or worse than the average person that goes and exercises every single day," he said. "Doesn't smoke, doesn't drink and that's simply the best advantage you can have to live and he's got a good family history."
Bornstein didn't talk politics but said he's a fan of his patient.
"I like Donald Trump because I think he likes me," he said <emphasis added>.
Wow--he is not "the healthiest" potential president ever after all, just no better or worse than the average person that goes and exercises every single day, and the doctor likes Trump because Trump likes him, just as Trump likes Putin because he thinks Putin admires him.
Oh, and that good family history? Yeah, his father lived into his 90s--but he also had Alzheimer's.
KewlKat
(5,624 posts)he admits that he used the Con's language when he wrote this. I doubt in any information in that letter.
If it looks like a quack, and talks like a quack....then me thinks the Con found a quack.....which now raises the question WHAT IS THE CON HIDING!!!

These super rich guys can easily get a doctor who is willing to do whatever they want done. In MJ's case, he wanted heavy narcotics, so he got them. In Trump's case, he wanted a doctor to write in goofy superlatives about his health--or, even more likely, to let Trump write his own excessive and "astonishingly" ridiculous health assessment and then pretend that the doctor himself wrote and signed it.
Some people will do anything for money. Some will do anything to associate with celebrity. When both money and celebrity are involved. even more people will do anything asked of them.

(9,350 posts)Donald Trump's doctor said something about Trump being good health because his brain is on 24 hours a day. Whose brain is not on 24 hours a day? Maybe I am wrong, but I thought everyone's brain was always working in some way. So, how does Trump's brain working make him healthier than anyone else?

(48 posts)From the looks of it, everything about Don's campaign is all scripted or made up. But that is probably what one should expect from such a crooked snake oil salesman. I wonder when Trump will release his tax returns? Even his supporters are demanding that he release them.
