I'm going with fake for the following reasons:
1. I have personally handled hundreds of medical records from dozens of patients and doctors for over two decades. I have never in my life seen a medical report typed out in layman's terms on plain white paper for any patient, let alone one so important as a potential candidate for the presidency. There are literally hundreds of different medical privacy laws i,place to prevent such information from being distributed in any fashion, and the aforementioned doctor, hospital, and any medical association connected to such a report could be sued for backbreaking amounts of money. Licenses are at stake, not just the named doctor but the whole fucking hospital group.
I would not be surprised to see an official response from the doctor and/or medical group regarding the supposed leaked papers, and if Trump is dumb enough to try to cite those papers he is subject to a number of HIPAA violations. The legal ramifications of exposing private health records are pretty serious.
Not to mention the Goldwater rule, which is specifically in place to address erroneous speculation on the mental states of people running for office. It's okay for schmucks like us to say Trump is nuts or Hillary is demented, but the minute a professional MD name gets attached to it it becomes actionable. Somebody can get sued just for alleging. Legal precedent is clear.

Thank god I am oblivious to the opinions of others while caught in the blinding splendor of my own cleverness.
