President Donald Trump has been declared in excellent health following his latest physical examination, with White House physicians reporting no significant abnormalities aside from bullet scarring sustained during the 2024 assassination attempt. The comprehensive medical evaluation, conducted at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, confirms that the 78-year-old commander-in-chief remains fully fit to lead.
The report, signed by Navy Capt. Sean Barbabella, the President’s physician, highlights Trump’s strong physical and cognitive condition, citing favorable health metrics across the board. Dr. Barbabella credited the President’s active lifestyle, which includes near-daily engagement in high-level meetings, public appearances, and regular golf sessions, for his continued vitality.
Among the key findings:
Weight: 224 pounds, reflecting a 20-pound weight loss since 2020.
Blood Pressure: A healthy 128/74 mmHg.
Resting Heart Rate: 62 beats per minute.
Cholesterol: Down to 140 mg/dL, a major improvement from the 223 mg/dL level recorded in 2018—managed through statin therapy.
Cognitive Health: Trump scored a perfect 30 out of 30 on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), indicating no signs of cognitive decline.
The only notable physical finding was scarring on Trump’s right ear, the result of the failed assassination attempt at a rally in 2024. No complications were reported from the injury, and physicians affirmed it has not affected his hearing or overall function.
Minor cosmetic issues such as sun damage and benign skin lesions were also noted, which doctors described as typical for someone of his age with frequent outdoor exposure. Previous routine procedures, including a 2024 colonoscopy that found a benign polyp and mild diverticulosis, were not cause for concern.
Dr. Barbabella, a highly respected Navy physician with a background in trauma and tactical medicine, concluded in his report: “President Trump is in excellent health and shows no impairments that would affect his ability to fulfill the duties of his office.”
The results come amid renewed public interest in the health of national leaders, especially as Trump approaches his 79th birthday. With clear and measurable improvements in weight, cholesterol, and overall fitness, the White House says the findings further validate Trump’s readiness for continued leadership.
“He’s sharp, energized, and more focused than ever,” said a senior administration official. “This report speaks for itself—President Trump is strong, both physically and mentally. He’s ready for what comes next.”
With political opponents often raising questions about age and cognitive function, the White House is framing the results as yet another example of Trump’s resilience and determination. And with a clean bill of health in hand, the President is charging forward—battle-tested and undeterred.
