President Donald Trump remains in “excellent health” and is “fully fit” to carry out presidential duties, according to a medical report released Friday following a comprehensive examination at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.
Dr. Sean Barbabella, the White House physician, conducted an extensive evaluation that included a CT scan, advanced cardiac imaging, cancer screenings, and assessments by 22 medical specialists. The report concluded Trump’s cognitive and physical performance are strong and capable of meeting the demands of the office.
What the Medical Report Found
Trump weighed 238 pounds during the examination, up 14 pounds from April 2025, with physicians recommending adjustments to diet and exercise. At 6 feet 3 inches tall, his body mass index measured 29.7, just below the 30 threshold that medical guidelines classify as obese.
The report documented minor bruising on Trump’s hands, which Barbabella attributed to “frequent handshaking” and aspirin therapy. Trump currently takes three medications: two for cholesterol management and low-dose aspirin.
Trump scored a perfect 30 out of 30 on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, a screening tool for cognitive impairment and dementia, matching results from previous examinations. His cholesterol levels improved significantly, with total cholesterol measuring 143 compared to 223 in 2018, attributed to medications including rosuvastatin and ezetimibe.
Slight lower-leg swelling related to chronic venous insufficiency persisted, though physicians noted improvement since last year’s examination. Barbabella found no abnormal findings during cardiac, pulmonary, and neurological evaluations.
Context and Timing
The examination marked the fourth publicly disclosed medical evaluation since Trump returned to office for his second term. Presidential health disclosures remain a matter of public interest, though no legal requirement exists for presidents to release complete medical records.
Trump, who turns 80 next month, was the oldest person ever elected president. His predecessor, President Joe Biden, left office at age 82 after ending his 2024 reelection campaign amid concerns about his fitness for another term.
