President Obama’s longtime doctor says President Donald Trump’s former doctor has “disgraced himself” for allowing Trump to dictate a medical letter painting him in good health for his presidential campaign.
“Trump is Trump, he would write that kind of letter,” Dr. David Scheiner said of the medical letter released during the campaign that used Trump-like language to gloat about then-candidate Trump’s health.
But as for Bornstein, Scheiner said he has “disgraced himself” as a medical professional for his “extraordinarily unethical” actions.

“I think it demands some kind of an investigation to see whether he should be chastised publicly by the medical society,” the Obama doctor suggested, “A document like that is an official document. A medical statement like that is not to be treated in such a fashion.”
Scheiner said the recent news of the fraudulent Trump letter was not surprising to him since he’s suspected this since its release.
In an exclusive interview with CNN, Bornstein said Tuesday Trump dictated the whole letter and he didn’t actually write it himself. The confession came hours after he revealed that Trump’s team “raided” his office to obtain his medical records shortly after he took the Oval Office.
