Donald Trump has created a whole new scandal for himself as his “physical” was nothing more than a one-page review released by the same oddball doctor who wrote Trump’s typo-filled medical letter.
The “physical”:
Trump shared with Dr. Oz the results of his physical exam performed last week by Dr. Harold Bornstein of Lennox Hill Hospital, longtime doc.

BREAKING: @realDonaldTrump spoke w/ @DrOz about a physical exam he had by Dr. Harold Bornstein, same doc that released previous health memo.

The press immediately saw through Trump’s con:
If you think Donald Trump handing a one-page health summary from Dr. Bornstein to Dr. Oz qualifies as transparency, you’re very wrong.

It feels like Trump, once again, is taking a news cycle he was winning and purposely losing it. Feeds biggest 2016 conspiracy theory of all.

Trump went on the Republican Dr. Oz’s show, released a one-page review from the same quack who isn’t an internist and is a friend, and thinks that this passes for medical transparency.
Donald Trump has managed to keep the questions about why he won’t release his medical records, or go to an internist instead of a friend for his physicals alive.
Once again, Trump tried to con his way out of transparency, but this time, the media and the American people aren’t buying it.
