The White House physician released a comprehensive health evaluation stating that President Trump remains in excellent overall condition and is fully capable of executing his duties.
The medical report documented Trump’s cognitive and physical performance as excellent following a thorough examination. The assessment included multiple health metrics and screenings standard to presidential medical evaluations.
What the Examination Found
Trump’s body mass index measured 29.7 at his height of 6 feet 3 inches, placing him just below the threshold for obesity classification. His physician noted that cardiac, pulmonary, and neurological findings were all normal with no abnormalities identified.
The president scored a perfect 30 out of 30 on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, a standardized screening tool for cognitive impairment. This matched his scores from examinations in 2025 and 2018.
Trump’s cholesterol levels showed significant improvement, with total cholesterol measured at 143, down from 223 in 2018. His physician attributed the improvement to medications including rosuvastatin and ezetimibe, which target LDL cholesterol levels.
Medical Observations and Recommendations
The report documented minor bruising on Trump’s hands, which physicians explained as soft tissue irritation from frequent handshaking and aspirin therapy. No concerning findings were associated with the bruising.
Trump continues to manage chronic venous insufficiency, a common age-related condition that causes blood pooling in the legs. His physician noted the condition has improved since last year, with only slight lower-leg swelling observed during the current examination.
Physicians recommended dietary adjustments, increased physical activity, and weight management strategies. The report also recommended a switch to low-dose aspirin therapy.
Context and Significance
Trump currently takes three medications: two for cholesterol management and aspirin. The comprehensive evaluation marks the fourth publicly disclosed medical assessment since his return to office for his second term.
The president is 79 years old and will turn 80 next month, making him among the oldest individuals serving as president. Presidential health disclosures remain a matter of public interest, though no legal requirement mandates the release of complete medical records.
The White House’s release of the evaluation occurs during the administration’s focus on demonstrating the president’s fitness heading into the midterm election cycle.
