Despite giving Donald Trump a suspiciously immaculate health report, Dr. Harold Bornstein has apparently drawn the ire (and goons) of the president.
In an interview with NBC News, the medical professional who once wrote that Trump would be “the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency” said his office was raided over a year ago by a White House aide who retrieved the President’s medical records.

Dr. B, who has cared for Trump for over three decades, said the “raid” took place in February 2017, two days after he told The New York Times that he had prescribed Trump hair growth medicine Propecia for years.
He explained:
“I couldn’t believe anybody was making a big deal out of a drug to grow his hair that seemed to be so important. And it certainly was not a breach of medical trust to tell somebody they take Propecia to grow their hair. What’s the matter with that?”
Uhhh, has this guy MET Trump and his White House-sized ego???
Apparently, Trump found out his former doc was talking about his medical history and asked that Keith Schiller, then-director of Oval Office operations, to retrieve the medical records from Bornstein’s office.

A CNN source says that Schiller presented Bornstein with a letter from the White House physician’s office requesting the release. In a peaceful encounter that lasted 20 minutes or less, Schiller spoke with Bornstein about the records while the doctor struggled to make copies of Trump’s file.
But Bornstein remembers a much more dramatic version of events — he told NBC News that he felt “raped, frightened and sad” when Schiller, Trump’s former bodyguard, and another “large man” terrorized his Park Avenue office to collect the records.
Claiming the goons failed to adhere to privacy laws, Bornstein said they “terrified” his secretary and “pushed aside” the patient he was seeing at the time. After Bornstein failed in several attempts to photocopy the files, he handed Schiller the original copies.
White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders downplayed the incident during an afternoon briefing, telling reporters:
“As is standard operating procedure, the White House Medical Unit took possession of the President’s medical records.”
Moral of the story: NEVER discuss The Donald’s hair.
Tbh, we’re just glad Dr. B wasn’t thrown in federal prison.
