President Trump Declared in Excellent Health Following Annual Physical Exam, Says White House Physician
President Donald J. Trump, now 78, has been declared in excellent physical and cognitive health, according to a comprehensive report released by his physician, Dr. Sean Barbabella, following the president’s most recent annual physical examination.
The exam was conducted at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, the facility traditionally used for presidential health evaluations. This marks Trump’s first physical since returning to public office, and the results are intended to reassure both the public and national security stakeholders of his fitness to serve as Commander-in-Chief.
According to the medical summary, President Trump stands 6 feet 3 inches tall and weighs 224 pounds. His resting heart rate was recorded at a healthy 62 beats per minute, and his blood pressure measured 128/74 mmHg, both within normal ranges for someone of his age. The report noted that he maintains an active lifestyle, frequently engaging in physical activity—particularly through regular rounds of golf—and appears to be in strong cardiovascular condition.
In addition to his physical health, Trump also underwent the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), a commonly used tool for detecting early signs of cognitive decline. Dr. Barbabella reported that the president scored a perfect 30 out of 30, mirroring the score he achieved during his presidency in 2018. The result suggests that Trump maintains sharp mental acuity, a point often emphasized by his supporters.
The report also outlined the current medications the president is taking. These include a low-dose aspirin regimen, commonly prescribed for heart health, along with three other unnamed medications. All prescribed treatments were described as routine and well-tolerated. The doctor also confirmed that Trump’s vaccinations are fully up to date, including those recommended for his age group and travel history.
One notable detail in the report was the mention of a scar located on the right ear, the result of a previous gunshot wound sustained in an earlier incident. However, the report clarified that the wound is fully healed and does not present any ongoing medical concern.
No other significant health issues were identified during the exam. Dr. Barbabella concluded that President Trump “is in excellent health and remains physically and mentally capable of performing the duties of the presidency.”
As the 2024 election cycle intensifies and questions of age and fitness continue to circulate in the national conversation, this clean bill of health will likely play a key role in the Trump campaign’s efforts to position him as capable, energetic, and ready to lead once again.
