ABC News(NEW YORK) —  Dr. Harold Bornstein, who once claimed that his longtime patient, Donald Trump, would be “the healthiest individual ever elected president,” has raised eyebrows with what appears to be a new outlook on the president-elect’s health.

“If something happens to him, then it happens to him,” Bornstein told the health and medicine publication STAT, produced by Boston Globe Media. “It’s like all the rest of us, no? That’s why we have a vice president and a speaker of the House and a whole line of people. They can just keep dying.”

Bornstein also took aim at Hillary Clinton, calling her an “old lady,” according to the interview.

In the interview released Wednesday, Bornstein maintained that “there’s nothing seriously wrong” with Trump’s health.

“He’s a few pounds overweight, which everybody can see, and that’s it,” he said, adding that the 70-year-old Trump isn’t “an old man the way my grandfather was an old man.”

However, Bornstein called Hillary Clinton “an old lady,” despite the fact that she is a year younger than Trump.

Bornstein wrote and released an initial letter last December describing his longtime patient’s health with phrases like “astonishingly excellent” and “extraordinary.”

The letter was criticized both at the time of its release for its exuberant language and after Bornstein revealed he wrote the assessment in a matter of minutes. Trump released a more complete medical assessment in September 2016.

Bornstein said he has not spoken with Trump since the election and was unsure if he would be permitted to continue to be Trump’s physician, as presidents are usually attended to by military doctors, according to STAT.

Bornstein also noted that he and his wife have been heckled in the wake of the election for caring for the Trump family.

“I’ve gotten so many harassing phone calls,” his wife, Melissa, told STAT.

The Trump camp did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
