"It was a family tradition," Elysa Braunstein told the Times, adding that the story was "an issue we would always discuss" between family and friends.
The Times did not find any material to corroborate the story of the family, who described themselves as Democrats who did not like Trump, and Elysa Braunstein did not know if his father would ever have examined Donald Trump .
The White House did not respond to the Times' request for an interview with the President, nor answered questions about his service record. Braunstein rented his office in Jamaica, Queens, from Fred Trump in the 1960s, the Times reported, citing documents. His two daughters told the Times that their father had diagnosed bony spurs as a courtesy to the elder Trump.
"I know it was a favor," Elysa Braunstein told the newspaper, adding that the "small favor" was giving her father "access" to Fred Trump.
"If there was a problem in the building, my dad would call and (Fred) Trump would take care of it right away," she told The Times.
Elysa Braunstein also told the newspaper that her father had hinted that Trump did not have foot disease.
In 1968, after four postponements of his studies, Donald Trump was diagnosed with a bony spur in heels at the age of 22, seven years before the end of the Vietnam War.
