"Written" and "signed" by one Dr. "Harold Bornstein" and addressed to "To Whom My Concern [sic]," the letter reports that Trump's "blood pressure, 110/65, and laboratory test results were astonishingly excellent." "Bornstein" writes that he has been Trump's physician since 1980, a role previously occupied by his father, Dr. Jacob Bornstein, who Trump mistakenly identified as the author of the letter. The surviving Bornstein's website indicates he has a focus on internal medicine and gastroenterology (as well as a Trump-esque hairstyle).
