President Donald Trump remains in “excellent health” and is “fully fit” to carry out presidential duties, according to a medical report released Friday following a comprehensive examination at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.
The report was authored by Dr. Sean Barbabella and documented an extensive evaluation involving 22 medical specialists. Trump underwent cardiac imaging, CT scans, cancer screenings, and preventative assessments during the visit.
What the Examination Found
Barbabella concluded that Trump’s “cognitive and physical performance are excellent” and that he remains fully capable of performing the responsibilities of the presidency. The physician noted no abnormal findings were identified during the comprehensive evaluation.
Trump weighed 238 pounds during the examination, an increase of 14 pounds from his April 2025 physical. At 6 feet 3 inches tall, his body mass index measured 29.7, placing him just below the 30 threshold that medical guidelines classify as obese.
Physicians recommended adjustments to diet, physical activity, and weight management. The report noted Trump takes three medications: rosuvastatin and ezetimibe for cholesterol, and low-dose aspirin.
Medical Details and Test Results
Trump’s total cholesterol measured 143, down significantly from 223 in 2018, with doctors attributing the improvement to his current medications. The report documented minor bruising on Trump’s hands, which Barbabella explained as “minor soft tissue irritation related to frequent handshaking” and aspirin therapy.
Trump exhibited slight lower-leg swelling from chronic venous insufficiency, a condition previously disclosed, though physicians noted improvement from the prior year. Trump completed the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, a standard screening tool for cognitive impairment, and scored a perfect 30 out of 30, matching results reported from his 2025 and 2018 examinations.
Broader Context
Barbabella wrote that Trump’s “demanding daily schedule, including multiple high-level meetings, public engagements, and regular physical activity, continues to support his overall well-being.” 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 demonstrate the president’s fitness heading into the midterm election cycle. Trump, who turns 80 next month, was the oldest person ever elected president at the time of his election.
Presidential health disclosures remain a matter of public interest, though no legal requirement mandates presidents release complete medical records.
