Trump Declared ‘Fully Fit’ for Presidency After Health Exam
U.S. President Donald Trump has been declared in “excellent health” and “fully fit” to serve as President following a comprehensive medical examination. The health assessment, conducted at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, was overseen by White House physician Dr. Sean Barbabella along with a panel of 14 specialists. The findings confirm robust health across critical areas including cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, and overall physical fitness.
At 78 years old, Trump remains under close public scrutiny regarding his health, particularly as he seeks a return to the White House.
Weight Loss, Medical History Highlighted
The report noted that Trump has lost approximately 20 pounds since his last exam in 2020, bringing his weight down to 224 pounds and reducing his Body Mass Index (BMI) from 30.5 to 28.0, shifting from the obese to the overweight category. His active lifestyle, particularly regular golf sessions, is credited for the improvement.
Other details in the medical report include successful cataract surgeries, a benign colon polyp, and signs of sun-related skin damage. The report also mentioned a scar from a 2024 assassination attempt that left him with a minor gunshot wound.
Cognitive Assessment Passed with Full Marks
Trump also underwent the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, a standard test to evaluate memory and attention, where he scored a perfect 30 out of 30. According to his medical team, this result affirms that he remains cognitively sharp and mentally fit.
His current medication regimen includes drugs for cholesterol management, cardiac health, and a common skin condition, all of which are considered standard for a person his age.
Focus on Transparency and Public Assurance
The health report was released to address public concern surrounding Trump’s physical and cognitive abilities, especially as he continues to be the oldest individual to run for the U.S. presidency. The medical team emphasized that Trump is physically and mentally capable of fulfilling the demanding role of President.
This release also appears intended to contrast with previous controversial moments related to Trump’s medical disclosures, reinforcing a message of transparency and readiness for office. As election season approaches, the report serves both as a reassurance to his supporters and a rebuttal to critics questioning his age or stamina.
