President Donald Trump has been declared in ‘excellent health’ following his annual medical examination at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, according to a memo released by his physician, Capt. Sean Barbabella [1][2]. The examination, which took place on Friday, concluded that Trump is ‘fully fit’ to continue his duties as commander in chief [1][2].
The comprehensive health assessment included a CT scan, heart imaging, cancer screenings, and other preventive evaluations conducted by a team of 22 specialists [1][2]. Trump, who is 79 years old, expressed satisfaction with the results, stating that everything checked out ‘PERFECTLY’ after the three-hour visit [1][2].
Trump’s weight was recorded at 238 pounds (108 kilograms), marking an increase of 14 pounds (6 kg) from his previous exam in April 2025. His body mass index was noted as 29.7 [1][2]. The report also mentioned bruising on Trump’s hands, attributed to frequent handshaking and aspirin therapy, with a recommendation to switch to low-dose aspirin [1][2].
Additionally, the report highlighted slight lower-leg swelling, which showed improvement from the previous year, linked to a prior diagnosis of chronic venous insufficiency [1][2]. Trump scored 30 out of 30 on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, maintaining the same score as in previous years [1][3].
Trump’s total cholesterol level was reported at 143, a decrease from 223 in 2018 and slightly up from 140 in April 2025. He continues to take rosuvastatin and ezetimibe to manage his cholesterol [1][3].
The White House physician emphasized Trump’s demanding daily schedule, which includes high-level meetings, public engagements, and regular physical activity, as supportive of his overall well-being [1][3]. A memo from the White House reiterated Trump’s strong cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, and overall physical function, affirming his fitness to fulfill presidential duties [3][4].
The memo also provided guidance on diet, physical activity, weight loss, and preventive counseling, including the use of low-dose aspirin [5].
