“President Trump is in excellent health and has excellent heart, lung, neurological and general body functions,” Trump’s doctor, Sean Barbabella, said in the report.
He also pointed out that Trump’s cognitive abilities are excellent and he is still able to fulfill all the duties of the head of state and commander in chief.
However, according to the doctor, the president should lose weight and move more, since the examination in April 2025, when the scale showed 102 kilograms, he has gained approximately six kilograms. With a height of 191 centimeters, according to the body mass index (BMI) calculation, Trump is just below the obesity threshold, the AP agency pointed out.
Barbabella also pointed out that he should take smaller doses of aspirin, which Trump uses to thin the blood. Due to overuse of aspirin and frequent handshakes, the American president, who will celebrate his 80th birthday in June, has bruises on his hands, which he covers with make-up.
The report also mentions slight swelling of the lower limbs, which is related to the previously diagnosed chronic venous insufficiency. However, according to the report, the situation has improved compared to last year.
The American president also underwent a screening test that should show signs of early dementia or other cognitive impairment. However, according to the doctor, he does not have any problems, noted the CNN website.
For Trump, who at 79 became the oldest person introduced to the White House, this is already the fourth officially presented medical examination since the beginning of his second term. The President thus wants to silence criticism that, due to his age and health, he will not be able to carry out his duties in office. His predecessor Joe Biden faced similar criticism.
