Ok, so then you can just wait and see whom it actually turns out to be.

You confused me when you wrote...

I agree that the letter appears to have been dictated by The Marchioness himself.


Nevertheless, it does appear that The Trump is in good health. As were Jimmy Carter and George H.W. Bush the Elder, both of whom (especially Mr. Carter) are still going strong. Indeed, President Reagan was in very good health when he took office. I believe Abraham Lincoln was considered very healthy (although subject to depression) when he served. I am uncertain about Millard Fillmore.


However, why would this doctor ignore Teddy Roosevelt? He was in splendid shape when he was President. I always liked the story about his walking habit, which he called "walking a straight line". Seems that Teddy would decide to walk in a particular direction, in a straight line. He would not walk around obstacles, such as fences, walls, trees, etc., but would always climb over, go under, or whatever was called for, to maintain a straight line walk.


No doubt, The Marchioness will bring it up tonight at the debate. Perhaps knock down a life-size cardboard image of Teddy Roosevelt in order to prove me wrong, to the wild cheers of the crowd.
A marchioness is a woman. Do you have sort of special information about Trump you'd care to share with the rest of us?

It reads like my four year old dictated that statement. Of course Trump dictated it.


He's the best EVER!

C'mon, conservatives, don't you have a sense of humor? This is like a South Park episode. Here are some excerpts from the doctor's letter:

"Actually, his blood pressure, 110/65, and laboratory results were astonishingly excellent."

"His physical strength and stamina are extraordinary." ". . . . . in bed. His hair is real and is magnificent!"**

"Mr. Trump's ability to resist a strain of venereal disease unique to the Czech Republic is terrific."**

"If elected, Mr. Trump, I can state unequivocally, will be the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency."

OK, guess which sentences are fake. Give up? Ones with double asterisks next to them.

No competent doctor would use superlatives such as those above without qualifying it with an age, ". . . for a 69 year-old man" or something along those lines. How could he possibly say Mr. Trump would the healthiest individual ever elected to be President? Has he examined all the Presidents who served before he received a medical license, like George Washington and Thomas Jefferson or even Richard Nixon?

All the terminology used above is suspiciously like the words used by Mr. Trump and his campaign on a regular basis. I am sure you've noticed.

In case you are curious about what this doctor looks like, lookie here: Dr. Harold Bornstein: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know | Heavy.com

This is such a fun election season. It's great.

I started referring to Mr. Trump as The Marchioness in response to one clever poster who keeps referring to Hillary Rodham Clinton as King Hillary (not that I am a supporter of HRC, but I rather dislike the lack of thought that went into coming up with 'king').


Plus, in one of Dicken's novels there is a character that is nicknamed The Marchioness.


I will say, that "Donald" is simply the masculine version of "Donna" or even "Donatella". It is also derived from the Gaelic word 'dumno' (for 'world'), which was combined with 'val' ('rule') to form Domhnall (ruler of the world).


Perhaps Domhnall Trump would be fitting. I shall think on it. Note that the 'O" in Domhnall has a "." period over it, which I cannot reproduce here.


Of course, Trumps German immigrant grandparents were named "Drumpf", and they changed it to Trump.


Perhaps Domhnall Drumpf? Hmm.

So would Trump. And Clinton would be almost as old.

Oh, I was told 70 is the new 30 . . . . . . in the Medieval Period.

Mr. Trump appears to be such a superb physical specimen that it would be a waste to nominate him for political office. I propose instead that we bronze him and place him on a pedestal.

It's notable that the good physician made no mention of Trump's mental health, whereas previous candidates' (Bush, Romney, Obama) summaries included references to "good physical and mental health".
