Trump's Medical Exam Reveals Need for Weight Loss While Declaring Excellent Health

Summary

A recent physical examination has indicated that President Donald Trump is in excellent health but should consider weight loss and increased physical activity, according to his physician's memo.

President Donald Trump's recent physical examination indicates he is in excellent health, though his doctor has recommended weight loss and increased exercise. White House physician Dr. Sean Barbabella noted that Trump, who is 6 feet 3 inches tall and currently weighs 238 pounds, remains fit for his duties, demonstrating strong overall physical function.

Barbabella's letter stated, "Cognitive and physical performance are excellent," and preventive care advice was provided, including dietary recommendations and a suggestion to take a low-dose aspirin. The letter also highlighted that Trump’s slight lower leg swelling had improved since last year. Additionally, the president underwent a thorough neurological exam, which indicated normal mental status and motor functions.

The doctor estimated Trump's cardiac health to be approximately 14 years younger than his actual age based on an enhanced electrocardiogram analysis. Trump reported that he takes a higher dose of aspirin than typically recommended, intending to maintain cardiovascular health. This physical marked his third visit to Walter Reed Medical Center since assuming office, following notable concerns about his health during his presidency.
