Following his first annual medical since returning to office, President Donald Trump’s doctor declared him fit to serve. The physician praised the 78-year-old’s overall health.
Dr. Sean Barbabella stated that President Trump is in excellent cognitive and physical health. He confirmed Trump is fully fit to carry out his duties as Commander-in-Chief and Head of State.
After Trump’s Friday visit to Walter Reed for his annual physical, the White House released a memo on Sunday. He was set to leave town for the weekend following the check-up.
The examination revealed that Trump stands 6’3″ tall and weighs 224 pounds.
Dr. Barbabella stated that President Trump is in excellent health, with strong cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, and physical function. He praised Trump’s overall well-being.
He added that Trump’s active lifestyle greatly contributes to his well-being.
The memo highlighted the president’s frequent victories in golf events, along with his busy schedule and public appearances. It praised his active lifestyle and performance.
The physical report revealed Trump’s resting heart rate was 62 beats per minute, and his blood pressure was 128/74 mmHg. These readings reflect healthy vital signs.
Following consultations with fourteen specialists, Friday’s examination included laboratory and diagnostic testing, all of which returned normal results. The report confirmed no abnormalities.
The memo noted no significant abnormalities in the head, ears, nose, and throat, except for scarring on the right ear from a gunshot wound.
The medical report, the first public update since the July assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, only mentioned the scar without providing further details on its impact.
The Montreal Cognitive Assessment, a 10-minute test for mild cognitive impairment, showed Trump scored a perfect 30 out of 30, indicating normal cognitive abilities.
Trump had previously taken the cognitive test during his first term, scoring 30 out of 30 on January 12, 2018, as reported by Dr. Ronny Jackson, the White House physician.
The memo stated that the president takes four medications: Aspirin, Mometasone cream for a skin issue, and Rosuvastatin and Ezetimibe for cholesterol control.
The memo confirmed that all of the president’s vaccinations, including travel ones, are up to date.
In January, Trump became the oldest person in U.S. history to be inaugurated as president.
He spent approximately five hours at Walter Reed for his first annual physical of his second term.
The examination was conducted by his new personal doctor, Barbabella, who has extensive experience in battle trauma from serving in Afghanistan and Iraq. He brings a wealth of expertise to his role.
Trump told reporters on his way to Florida after the exam, “Overall, I felt I was in very good shape. A good heart, a good soul, a very good soul.”
He also praised himself for taking a cognitive test, stating, “I got every answer right.”
Before the results were released, Trump said, “I was there for a long time. I think I did very well.”
The document was shared during Trump’s weekend at Mar-a-Lago, where he spent Sunday at his golf club.
