President Trump’s former personal physician claims that Trump dictated the 2015 letter he wrote praising the then-presidential candidate’s health.
"He dictated that whole letter. I didn't write that letter," Dr. Harold Bornstein
told CNN. "I just made it up as I went along."
"His physical strength and stamina are extraordinary,” read the letter, which Bornstein had initially said he wrote himself. “If elected, Mr. Trump, I can state unequivocally, will be the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency."
Bornstein now says that Trump had dictated the language as the doctor and his wife drove across Central Park.
“[Trump] dictated the letter and I would tell him what he couldn't put in there," he said. "They came to pick up their letter at 4 o'clock or something."
"That's black humor, that letter. That's my sense of humor," Bornstein added. "It's like the movie 'Fargo': It takes the truth and moves it in a different direction."
Trump had touted the letter ahead of its release on Twitter, saying it would "show perfection."
