Did you tell your mortgage lender to write down that you put 20% down even though you didn't? Because that's basically what Trump had the guy do. Or do you believe this assessment?
The combination of Bornstein's strangeness and the fact that the bar has been so lowered when it comes to Trump's medical disclosures shouldn't temper that fact. Just as the Stormy Daniels situation
seemed trivial and even overly salacious before becoming arguably the White House's biggest legal liability, it would be a shame to relegate the Bornstein show to the side of the stage. It may ultimately come to nothing, but there are real questions here — both for the legal system and for democracy.
Just like OJ wasn't getting his stuff back, he was robbing someone? So did Trump's team who raided the doctors office. Are you ok with a President who breaks the law and lies all the time? How are the lies benefitting you? You must be a Republican. Rich or dumb?
Aside from the legal aspect of all this is the good-government aspect. We have a president who it seems has now repeatedly sought to obscure his medical history. Bornstein also
told CNN on Tuesday that Trump essentially dictated his
original, hyperbolic doctor's letter that, among other wild claims, said Trump would be the healthiest president ever elected. Later, during an appearance on the “Dr. Oz” show, Trump appeared to deliberately hide — on multiple occasions —
that he was taking medication for hair loss (Propecia) and for rosacea. We found out about those only because Bornstein let them slip in
a New York Times interview in February 2017. (That interview was followed two days later by the alleged “raid.")
