There Are Quite a Few Problems and Inconsistencies in Trump’s ‘Doctor Letter’ and People Are Calling B.S.
Fat former president Trump is apparently in “excellent health,” according to a letter from his personal physician published Monday that provided very few specifics about his most recent exam, and which many people are doubting for several reasons.
Trump and some of his aides posted a letter on social media from Bruce Aronwald, a doctor based in Morristown, N.J., who said he has been Trump’s physician since 2021 and most recently conducted a comprehensive exam on Sept. 13.
“I am pleased to report that President Trump’s overall health is excellent,” Aronwald wrote. “His physical exams were well within the normal range, and his cognitive exams were exceptional.”
Aronwald wrote that Trump’s labs were “well within normal limits” and improved from prior testing “in some of the most significant parameters,” though he did not provide any details on what the labs showed or how they had improved.
The doctor added that Trump’s cardiovascular studies were “all normal,” and his cancer screenings were all negative.

Trump has “reduced his weight through an improved diet and continued daily physical activity, while maintaining a rigorous schedule,” Aronwald wrote, though he did not list the former president’s weight.
“It is my opinion that President Trump is currently in excellent health, and with his continued interest in preventative health monitoring and maintenance, he will continue to enjoy a healthy active lifestyle for years to come,” Aronwald concluded.
The letter gave no specifics whatsoever. No lab results, no weight, nothing. And from Meidas Touch:
“Aronwald is a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine in New Jersey. However, it should be noted that Trump hasn’t been to New Jersey in a month, and the letter is dated today, which also happens to be President Biden’s birthday. Aronwald states that the last examination he conducted on Trump was on September 13th. Two days later, Trump appeared to experience several cognitive failures during a speech: he claimed President Biden was leading the country into World War 2 and became confused when suggesting he was leading Barack Obama in the polls.”
So this is an exceptionally healthy man who had excellent cognitive results?
Trump confuses Biden for Obama and then says Biden is “leading us into WWII”

And you can’t deny Trump’s history of faking letters from doctors, all the way back to the one that got him out of going to Vietnam.
People on X/Twitter simply didn’t believe the letter, and called out many inconsistencies:
Trump’s been coming up with fake doctor notes for stuff since his dad’s tenant said he had bone spurs which miraculously healed themselves the day the Vietnam War ended.

Right on cue when everybody is talking about his declining mental state, Trump posts a fraudulent update on his health. Not by a neurologist, not by a psychiatrist, not even by an actual MD. pic.twitter.com/buUBF4DnZd

You say that like his doctors have a record of honesty and that Trump isn't being desperately held together with stimulants, make-up, and Aquanet. https://t.co/jMzZrHSuxQ

Lovely, he's a "concierge" doctor who gets paid thousands of dollars to ignore his regular patients to prioritize the rich ones. Wonder how much trump paid him to lie? lmao. https://t.co/8Jqqa16eVH https://t.co/dki6SdWFUP

Don't forget that the last "health letter" from a Trump doctor turned out to have been dictated by Fat Hitler himself.

Hey Ronny, not sure if you know but trump is not actually the president. And this “doctor” wrote a very vague letter with zero details. At least you had the balls to lie about his height and weight. https://t.co/UlrKEEyQJv

Trump releases a letter from a doctor declaring that the former president's "overall health is excellent" and "cognitive exams were exceptional." But the three-paragraph letter included no details, no test results, no specifics on which anyone could draw an independent judgment.
