According to a 2018 New York Times report, the daughters of Queens podiatrist Dr. Larry Braunstein claimed their father diagnosed Donald Trump with bone spurs in 1968 as a favor to Fred Trump, who was the doctor's landlord. The diagnosis provided a medical exemption to avoid the Vietnam War draft.

Key details from the report include:
The Favor: Dr. Braunstein, a tenant in a Jamaica, Queens apartment building owned by Fred Trump, allegedly provided the diagnosis to maintain a good relationship with the senior Trump.
No Actual Examination: While not definitively confirmed, the daughters indicated their father likely did not examine Donald Trump, but rather signed off on the diagnosis.
The "Support": The doctor allegedly told his family that he provided the "very strong" letter to help keep Trump out of the war as a favor, according to The New York Times.
Context: Donald Trump received a 1-Y temporary medical deferment for the spurs, which followed multiple other deferments for college.

The daughters, Dr. Elysa Braunstein and Sharon Kessel, stated their father often spoke of this favor, notes Yahoo.
