Trump´s health, both physical and mental, have been the subject of keeninterest in America.

He underwent an official physical in January and then White House physicianRonny Jackson described his health as “excellent.”

When Trump was still a presidential candidate, his then personal doctorHarold Bornstein released a letter on Trump´s behalf in December 2015 inwhich he described the businessman´s health in grand hyperbole.

It depicted Trump´s blood pressure and laboratory results as “astonishinglyexcellent,” his physical strength and stamina as “extraordinary,” and saidhe would be “the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency.”

Last month Bornstein told CNN that Trump had personally dictated the letter.

Bornstein also said last month that a bodyguard visited his Park Avenueoffice last year and confiscated the president´s medical records.

Bornstein said the “raid” took place on February 3, 2017, two days afterThe New York Times quoted the physician as saying he had prescribed Trump ahair growth medicine for years.
