President Donald Trump remains in excellent health and fully capable of executing the duties of commander in chief, according to a comprehensive medical report released Friday following an extensive evaluation at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.
The report, authored by White House physician Dr. Sean Barbabella, detailed a battery of tests conducted by a team of 22 specialists. These included a CT scan, advanced cardiac imaging, cancer screenings, and a range of preventative assessments. Physicians found no abnormal findings and described Trump’s cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, and overall physical condition as strong.
Trump weighed 238 pounds during the exam, a 14-pound increase from his April 2025 physical. At 6 feet 3 inches, his body mass index registered 29.7—just below the threshold of 30 that medical guidelines classify as obese. Doctors recommended continued attention to diet, physical activity, and weight management but emphasized that the president’s overall health remains robust. His cognitive and physical performance were rated excellent.
The president scored a perfect 30 out of 30 on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, matching results from prior examinations in 2025 and 2018. “Cognitive and physical performance are excellent. He is fully fit to carry out all duties of the Commander-in-Chief and Head of State,” Barbabella wrote.
Minor bruising on Trump’s hands was attributed to frequent handshaking combined with aspirin therapy, described as a common and benign side effect. Physicians recommended switching to low-dose aspirin. The report also noted slight lower-leg swelling linked to chronic venous insufficiency, a condition disclosed last year; doctors said the swelling has improved since the previous evaluation.
Cholesterol levels showed marked improvement. Total cholesterol measured 143, down sharply from 223 in 2018, aided by medications including rosuvastatin and ezetimibe. Trump currently takes three medications: two for cholesterol and aspirin.
The examination marked the fourth publicly disclosed medical evaluation since Trump returned to office for his second term. The release comes as the administration seeks to underscore the president’s fitness ahead of the midterm elections. Trump, who turns 80 next month, remains the oldest person ever elected to the presidency.
