"The letters after the Trump doctor's name — there's his name. It says, M.D. for medical doctor and then it says, FACG, which stands for fellow of the American College of Gastroenterology," Maddow said.

"So we called them, and they said, 'yeah, that's right.' They said, quote, 'Dr. Bornstein joined the ACG in 1981. He was a fellow. When his membership lapsed in 1995.' He hasn't been affiliated with the ACG since that year. Given that, we asked if that means he should stop identifying himself the way he does, putting FACG after his name. They told us this: 'People who are no longer members of the organization would be expected to stop using FACG or any other reference to membership in the organization as they are no longer members.'
"He told us, quote, 'FACG is a title they sell for a fee. In reality, it has no value,'" Maddow said. "In response to the inevitable follow-up question, Donald Trump's doctor told us that he will keep using this valueless title because it's part of his resume. And then he sent us a copy of this has framed certificate from back in the day a couple of decades ago when he was still paying his dues."

Trump's medical records and overall health have only come back into focus after his attacks on Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton's lack of stamina and poor health.

The Trump campaign has not issued a statement in response to Maddow's report.

Trumps pitch to black voters: I look at you & see an unimaginable nightmare—so abominable & desperate that you might as well vote for me.

It's actually much more outrageous than that, If you can even believe that's possible.

I’m A Doctor. Here’s What I Find Most Concerning About Trump’s Medical Letter

Even I never noticed it opens "To Whom My Concern". The other stuff is hilarious, too.

TL;DR version:

-the aforementioned typo
-the website on the header is dead
-the first DOCTOR listed has been dead since 2010

Many trump supporters are doing just fine and they simply perceive it differently, too.
