Donald Trump medical raid reveals that he’s hiding something big about his health
After all the controversy these past few weeks surrounding Donald Trump’s compromised White House doctor, Ronny Jackson, now there’s suddenly controversy surrounding Trump’s other doctor. During the election we got to know Dr. Harold Bornstein, Trump’s longtime personal physician who declared that Trump was in perfectly perfect health. Now it turns out Bornstein’s office has been raided and Trump’s medical records have been seized – by Trump’s own goons. It gives away something huge about Trump’s health.
Bornstein is now telling NBC News that just weeks after Donald Trump took office, his bodyguard Keith Schiller and another Trump henchman showed up and seized Trump’s medical records. This presents several problems. Trump has a legal right to copies of his own medical records, but there’s an established process for this. By sending goons to forcibly seize the records, Trump is probably guilty of trespassing, theft, and violations of several privacy laws. It’s not as if Bornstein could realistically call the cops on a personal bodyguard who was acting on behalf of the President of the United States, so Trump clearly abused the power of the office as well. This is an impeachable offense. But the real upshot here is about what Trump is hiding.
If Donald Trump’s medical records were as clean as Dr. Bornstein had stated during the campaign, Trump would have just had the White House go through the normal HIPAA process in order to obtain copies. But this wasn’t about obtaining Trump’s medical records. It was about forcibly getting those records out of the hands of Bornstein, through whatever legally questionable means necessary, so those records could never become public.
So now we know that Donald Trump’s medical records from prior to 2017 have to include one or more major secrets about his health. Generally speaking, those records could hypothetically show anything from a neurological disease, to an STD, to drug abuse. All we know is that whatever is wrong with Trump’s health, it’s embarrassing enough that Trump risked committing a crime to try to keep it buried.
