Trump’s Doctors Says President Is in 'Excellent Health' and 'Fully Fit' to Serve
The report said Trump scored 30 out of 30 on a cognitive test and received guidance on diet, exercise and weight loss.
- White House Physician Dr. Sean Barbabella released a report Friday declaring President Donald Trump in "excellent health" and "fully fit" to serve after his Tuesday visit to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.
- Trump weighs 238 pounds, roughly 14 pounds more than during his April 2025 exam, with a body mass index of 29.7, though Barbabella recommended more physical activity and a diet change.
- The report noted "slight lower leg swelling" and attributed hand bruising to "minor soft tissue irritation related to frequent handshaking," but made no mention of a skin rash that appeared on Trump's neck in March.
- Trump scored 30 out of 30 on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, yet a Washington Post/ABC News/Ipsos poll shows 59 percent of Americans doubt his mental acuity and roughly 55 percent question his physical fitness.
- Trump, who turns 80 next month, underwent the 3-hour evaluation as his fourth disclosed exam since returning to office, frequently dismissing age concerns by claiming he feels the same as he did 50 years ago.
