Results of Trump’s annual physical exam revealed.
President Donald Trump’s latest physical is in.
Trump’s medical history highlighted.
This isn’t the first time Trump’s health has made waves—remember the 2015 letter from his personal physician claiming he’d be “the healthiest individual ever elected”?
Harold Bornstein, Trump’s former doctor, later revealed that Trump himself dictated the glowing 2015 letter, adding fuel to the fire.
Back in 2020, his weight was listed at 244 pounds.
At the time, critics speculated the weight had been conveniently tweaked to keep Trump just shy of the “obese” threshold.
His last publicly acknowledged exam came in September 2023, when only limited information was released.
Trump’s last presidential physical, back in 2020, also emphasized “excellent” health, albeit with less dramatic side notes.
At 78, Trump holds the record as the oldest U.S. president to be re-inaugurated, surpassing Biden’s record from 2021.
Expect Trump’s campaign to lean heavily into this physical as proof of his vitality—especially with the 2024 shooting fresh in the public mind.
Trump’s medical report explained.
Despite the age, the gunshot, and the cholesterol chatter, the man’s reportedly “in excellent health.”
The report didn’t shy away from detail—medications, minor conditions, and all.
According to the official report released by the White House, Trump scored a perfect 30 out of 30 on a cognitive assessment, defying years of skepticism.
The cognitive test result—a perfect 30—is sure to be flaunted by supporters, especially amid age-related criticism of political rivals.
The physical was carried out on Friday at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, where Trump, 78, was declared fit as a fiddle—despite more than a few eyebrow-raising stats.
Trump’s physician, Capt. Sean Barbabella, wrote that the president “remains in excellent health” and is “fully fit” to perform the duties of both Commander-in-Chief and Head of State.
Barbabella credited Trump’s regular activity—rallies, press conferences, and, notably, golf—as the secret sauce behind his seemingly solid health.
Barbabella says Trump’s golf wins contribute to his physical fitness. Whether that’s metaphorical or not…unclear.
The memo notes Trump’s blood pressure was 128 over 74—not perfect, but still well within a manageable range, and apparently under control.
Trump’s cholesterol, always a point of political jabbing, is said to be under control thanks to medication, landing in what Barbabella called the “optimal range.”
Weighing in at 224 pounds, Trump is officially in the “overweight” category for his height—but not obese, and that distinction may be political gold.
A July 2024 colonoscopy revealed diverticulosis and a benign polyp—conditions common in aging adults, and reportedly not a concern.
The White House says Trump’s neurological exam showed no red flags, with “no abnormalities in his mental status.” Interpret that however you like.
Perhaps the most eyebrow-raising detail buried in the memo: scarring on the right ear from a gunshot wound.
The gunshot injury came during a July 2024 assassination attempt, in which Trump was reportedly grazed by a bullet during a campaign stop in Pennsylvania.
The gunshot scar might be the most tangible physical reminder of a presidency that’s been anything but dull.
Besides confirming the wound and its location, there was no further explanation in the memo—no mention of lingering issues or treatment.
Medical report quietly reinforces Trump’s resilience narrative.
Trump surviving an assassination attempt, losing weight, and scoring perfect cognitive marks? That’ll play well with his base.
While skepticism will no doubt follow, the memo was issued by a military physician under the official White House stamp.
It marks his first comprehensive checkup since reclaiming the Oval Office in January 2025.
The language—“excellent,” “fit,” “fully capable”—reads like a stump speech disguised as a diagnosis.
The perfect score, the gunshot wound, and the cholesterol cocktail—this isn’t your typical presidential physical.
You read that right: the 78-year-old president survived a shooting, aced his cognitive test, and dropped 20 pounds—and he’s just getting started.
