A doctor who gave Donald Trump a clean bill of health, all wrapped up in bombastic hyperbole, has now said he wrote it in five minutes as a limo sent by the Republican nominee waited outside. Dr Harold Bornstein told NBC on Friday he wrote the certificate out in a rush and didn’t even have time to proofread it. It began to attract attention in recent weeks as the nominee, his campaign and his surrogates began raising questions about his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton’s health. Now Bornstein is facing scrutiny along with the health certificate he wrote out for Trump, which said the nominee is in “astonishingly excellent” health. “If elected, Mr. Trump, I can state unequivocally, will be the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency,” the doctor wrote in the short four-para note.
