Trump Declared in Excellent Health, Advised to Lose Weight
US Navy Captain Sean Barbabella said the 79-year-old president demonstrated strong cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, and overall physical health. However, doctors advised him to improve his diet, increase physical activity, continue weight loss efforts, and take low-dose aspirin as a preventive measure.
The medical evaluation was conducted at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center earlier this week. Barbabella stated that Trump remains fully fit to carry out his duties as Commander-in-Chief.
The report noted that Trump weighs 238 pounds (108 kg), up from 224 pounds (101.6 kg) recorded during his last annual medical exam. It also addressed mild lower-leg swelling and hand bruising, describing both conditions as minor and non-serious.
The memo confirmed normal cardiac and neurological function, while Trump later described the examination as having gone “PERFECTLY” in a post on Truth Social.
