President Donald Trump remains in “excellent health” and is fully capable of performing presidential duties, according to a comprehensive medical evaluation completed at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.
The White House physician, Dr. Sean Barbabella, released the report following an extensive examination that included cardiac imaging, CT scans, neurological assessments, and cancer screenings conducted by a multidisciplinary medical team. No significant abnormalities were identified during the evaluation.
Examination Results
Trump weighed 238 pounds during the physical, with a body mass index of 29.7 at his height of 6 feet 3 inches, placing him just below the medical threshold for obesity. Physicians recommended continued focus on diet, exercise, and weight management.
The examination identified minor bruising on Trump’s hands, which doctors attributed to frequent handshaking combined with aspirin therapy. Doctors recommended continuing the low-dose aspirin treatment.
Trump’s previously disclosed chronic venous insufficiency showed improvement, with only mild lower-leg swelling noted during the evaluation.
Cognitive and Cardiovascular Assessment
Trump completed the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, a standard screening tool for cognitive function, and received a perfect score of 30 out of 30, according to Dr. Barbabella. The results align with previous cognitive evaluations and show no evidence of cognitive impairment.
The report highlighted significant improvements in Trump’s cholesterol levels, with a total reading of 143, substantially lower than previous measurements. Prescription medications, including rosuvastatin and ezetimibe, along with ongoing medical management, have contributed to the improvement.
Transparency and Presidential Health
Presidential health disclosures remain a matter of public interest, though U.S. presidents are not legally required to release detailed medical records. Administrations typically release health summaries to demonstrate a president’s capability to perform official duties.
Trump, who turns 80 next month, continues to maintain an active schedule that includes official meetings, travel, and public appearances.
