The White House has released the results of President Donald Trump’s recent physical examination, with doctors declaring him in “excellent health” and fully capable of carrying out his duties as president. Trump underwent the medical evaluation at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center and later stated that everything had checked out “perfectly.” According to his physician, Capt. Sean Barbabella, Trump demonstrated strong cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, and overall physical function. The report noted that the 79-year-old president weighed 238 pounds, had a blood pressure reading of 105/71, and maintained a resting heart rate of 73 beats per minute. Barbabella also revealed that Trump scored a perfect 30 out of 30 on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, a test commonly used to evaluate cognitive abilities. The physician added that Trump’s cardiac age was estimated to be roughly 14 years younger than his actual age, while recommending continued weight loss, increased physical activity, and preventative measures such as low-dose aspirin therapy.
The health report comes months after public speculation about Trump’s condition intensified following a speech in which some viewers believed he appeared to slur his words. The incident sparked debate on social media, with critics questioning his health and supporters dismissing concerns. In response, White House officials strongly defended the president, describing him as energetic, mentally sharp, and highly effective. While the medical report identified minor issues, including slight lower-leg swelling linked to chronic venous insufficiency and bruising on his hand attributed to frequent handshaking while taking aspirin, doctors emphasized that these conditions do not interfere with his ability to serve. The findings are likely to reassure supporters as Trump approaches his 80th birthday, while continuing discussions about the health and fitness of leaders holding the nation’s highest office.
