Leading Republican presidential aspirant Donald Trump is in "excellent" health and would undoubtedly be "the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency" if he wins in 2016, his personal physician said today.
"If elected, Trump, I can state unequivocally, will be the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency," Dr Harold N Bornstein, his personal physician said after Trump underwent his medical test.
"I am proud to share this report, written by the highly respected Dr Jacob Bornstein of Lenox Hill Hospital, stating that I am in excellent health," the 69-year-old real estate mogul said in an accompanying statement.
"I am fortunate to have been blessed with great genes --- both of my parents had very long and productive lives. I have truly enjoyed working on the campaign trail with one objective in mind, to Make America Great Again!" he said.
"People have been impressed by my stamina, but to me it has been easy because I am truly doing something that I love. Our country will soon be better and stronger than ever before," Trump said.
In the report, Dr Bornstein said over the past 12 months, Trump has lost at least 15 pounds.

"Trump takes 81 mg of aspirin daily and a low dose of another statin," he wrote adding that the GOP candidate has had no significant medical problems.
Observing that his recent medical examination showed only positive results, the doctor said Trump's blood pressure, 110/65 and laboratory test results were astonishingly excellent.
Trump has no history of ever using alcohol or tobacco products.
Trump said he will keep that the radical Islamic
terrorists "the hell out" of the country.
"At the same time, we're going to take care of our military and we're going to take care of our great, great, great veterans," he said.
"We're going to stand up to China, we're going to stop their currency manipulation and product dumping, which is killing us. And they don't follow the rules and, if they don't, we're going to institute tariffs. When they send something into our country - and, believe me, they're going to obey our rules so quickly, you have no idea. And we'll end up with a better relationship with China than we do now," he said.
Referring to South China Sea, Trump said the Chinese were building a massive fortress against everything.
"A massive fortress in the South China Sea. Yet they're ripping us off. Now, if they're going to rip us off, you wouldn't think they'd be building fortresses. They have no respect for our President - which I can understand that - they have no respect for Obama, they have no respect for our country, and they're getting away with murder," he said.
