White House Releases Results of Trump’s Annual Physical Exam

President Trump’s health report was released by the White House on Sunday, stating that he is fully fit to execute his presidential duties. The report mentioned that he has been treated for conditions such as high cholesterol, which is well controlled. His physician, Dr. Sean P. Barbabella, described Mr. Trump as remaining in excellent health both cognitively and physically. The report also highlighted his active lifestyle, including frequent victories in golf events, contributing to his overall well-being.

Additional details in the report included treatments for high cholesterol, skin damage from sun exposure, seasonal allergies, diverticulosis, cataract surgery, and a benign colon polyp. Mr. Trump underwent cognitive and cardiology tests at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center and expressed feeling in good shape and having a good heart.

The health report revealed that Mr. Trump had a comprehensive neurological examination with no abnormalities in cognitive function or mental state. He scored perfectly on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment test and had normal cholesterol levels. The report also addressed skepticism surrounding past medical reports and Mr. Trump’s guarded approach to sharing medical information.

The report is the first public update on Mr. Trump’s health since returning to office and becoming the oldest president. Past reports have faced doubts, such as claims of excellent cardiac health despite high cholesterol levels. The report also mentioned previous instances where medical information was misleadingly presented to the public.

Mr. Trump’s lifestyle includes a diet heavy on ice cream, red meat, and soda, despite claiming to be a germaphobe who does not drink alcohol or smoke. He sleeps about five hours a night and stands at 6-foot-3. The report listed his weight at 224 pounds, slightly heavier than previous records.

While presidents are not obligated to release their medical records, it has been a tradition to do so to assure the public of their fitness for office. Comparisons were drawn to Mr. Biden’s age-related concerns during his presidency bid and eventual withdrawal from the race.
