Trump In “Excellent Health” According to Annual Physical

“Long live President Trump!” The Commander-in-Chief is in excellent health, according to his annual physical by the White House physician, Sean Barbabella.

Last week, Barbabella released a glowing health memo that found Trump to be in “excellent health” and “robust” neurological condition. 

Barbabella also said that Trump is 6-foot-3 and weighs 224 pounds, suggesting that he’s lost a significant amount of weight since his first term.

Back in 2019, for instance, Trump’s doctor said that he weighed 243 pounds. However, at a reported 224 pounds, Trump is still technically overweight but not obese, according to his body mass index.

“President Trump exhibits excellent cognitive and physical health and is fully fit to execute the duties of the Commander-in-Chief and Head of State,” Barbabella wrote in the memo released by the White House.

Barbabella said Trump scored a “normal” 30 out of 30.

“I felt I was in very good shape. Good heart,” Trump told reporters Friday after his examination at Walter Reed National Medical Center. “I took a cognitive test. I don’t know what to tell you other than I got every answer right.”

“I think it’s a pretty well-known test. I’ve taken the test four times. I’ve got nothing wrong,” he said, referring to the Montreal Cognitive Assessment. “That’s what the American people want. Biden refused to take it. Kamala refused to take it.”

Other vital signs looked decent. Trump’s blood pressure clocked in at 128/74, which is elevated but not yet high blood pressure, per the American Heart Association.

His resting heart rate was 62 beats per minute, which the AHA says is normal.

“I felt I was in very good shape. Good heart,” Trump told reporters Friday after his examination at Walter Reed National Medical Center. “I took a cognitive test. I don’t know what to tell you other than I got every answer right.”

“I think it’s a pretty well-known test. I’ve taken the test four times. I’ve got nothing wrong,” he said, referring to the Montreal Cognitive Assessment. “That’s what the American people want. Biden refused to take it. Kamala refused to take it.”

Additionally, Trump is on two medications to address his cholesterol: rosuvastatin and ezetimibe, with his total level at 140 mg/dl — which is “optimal,” according to Barbabella.

“His medical history is notable for well-controlled hypercholesterolemia, seasonal allergies, a history of COVID-19 infection, well-managed rosacea, actinic keratosis, benign nevi, diverticulosis, and a benign colon polyp,” Barbabella noted.

Since his 2016 campaign, Trump has released numerous glowing health reports from his doctors to the public. 

Trump had tapped Barbabella as his physician earlier this year. Barbabella is a veteran of the war in Afghanistan who earned a Purple Heart after being badly injured when an improvised explosive device was set off during his first tour.
