The White House has just released the results of President Donald Trump’s latest medical exam, declaring him to be in “excellent health” at the age of 78, making him the oldest person ever sworn in as president. The physical, conducted at Walter Reed Hospital as part of his follow-up from the 2023 checkup, shows impressive results.
White House physician Capt. Sean Barbabella reported that Trump has shed some pounds, now weighing in at 224 pounds—down from 244 in 2020. His blood pressure is solid, registering at a healthy 128/74, and he passed a comprehensive neurological exam with no signs of cognitive decline.
The report also credited Trump’s active lifestyle—highlighting his frequent public appearances, meetings, and golf outings—as key to his continued well-being. Additionally, while the summary mentioned a scar from a gunshot wound sustained in the July 2024 assassination attempt, there were no other notable abnormalities. A recent colonoscopy revealed diverticulosis and a benign polyp, though nothing concerning.
Trump expressed that he “never felt better” and remains committed to staying fit, despite ongoing public scrutiny of his diet. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed that Trump was not under anesthesia during the exam, and that the results confirm he is fully capable of carrying out his responsibilities as Commander-in-Chief.
