White House physician Dr. Ronny Jackson released a comprehensive health report on President Donald Trump following his latest medical evaluation, showing the president at 238 pounds with normal cardiac and cognitive function.
The examination marks Trump’s fourth publicly disclosed medical evaluation since returning to office for his second term. The assessment was conducted as the administration continues to address public interest in the president’s fitness ahead of upcoming midterm elections.
Medical Findings
Trump’s weight measured 238 pounds during the visit, representing a 14-pound increase from his April 2025 physical, with a body mass index of 29.7. Medical guidelines classify a BMI of 30 or higher as obese, placing Trump slightly below that threshold.
The president demonstrated strong cardiac, pulmonary, and neurological health with no significant abnormal findings, according to the physician’s report. “His demanding daily schedule, including multiple high-level meetings, public engagements, and regular physical activity, continues to support his overall well-being,” the report stated.
Trump scored a perfect 30 out of 30 on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, matching results from his 2025 and 2018 evaluations. His total cholesterol measured 143, down significantly from 223 in 2018.
Health Considerations
Doctors documented minor bruising on Trump’s hands, attributing it to “minor soft tissue irritation related to frequent handshaking” and noting it as “a common and benign effect of aspirin therapy.” The physician recommended switching to low-dose aspirin.
The White House previously disclosed that Trump has chronic venous insufficiency, a common age-related condition causing blood to pool in the legs. This year’s examination showed slight lower-leg swelling, though physicians noted improvement since last year’s evaluation.
Age and Medical Transparency
Trump, who turns 80 next month, was the oldest person ever elected president at the time of his election. His predecessor, President Joe Biden, left office at age 82 after ending his 2024 reelection campaign amid concerns about his age and fitness for another term.
Presidential health disclosures remain a matter of public interest, though no legal requirement mandates presidents release complete medical records. Administrations from both parties have historically chosen the level of transparency regarding medical information.
