President Donald Trump has been declared 'fully fit' to carry out all duties of the Commander-in-Chief and Head of State following his annual physical examination at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. The report, released Friday by Navy Capt. Sean P. Barbabella, Trump's physician, states that the president remains in 'excellent health,' demonstrating strong cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, and overall physical function. Cognitive and physical performance are excellent, according to the memo.
The examination included diagnostic studies, laboratory testing, and consultations with 22 specialty providers. Trump, who turns 80 in June, is 75 inches tall and weighs 238 pounds. His resting heart rate is 73 beats per minute, blood pressure is 105/71 mmHg, and oxygen saturation is 98% on room air. The report noted scarring on Trump’s right ear from a 2024 assassination attempt but identified no major health concerns.
Weight and Health Recommendations
The report disclosed that Trump has gained 17 pounds since his last physical in April 2025. Preventive counseling was provided, including guidance on diet, a recommendation to take a low-dose aspirin, increased physical activity, and continued weight loss. The president was also diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency last year, which causes slight lower leg swelling, but the report noted improvement from the previous year.
Bruising and Aspirin Use
The examination documented bruising on Trump’s hands, explained as 'minor soft tissue irritation related to frequent handshaking' and 'a common and benign effect of aspirin therapy.' The report recommended a switch to low-dose aspirin.
Public Statements
Trump posted on Truth Social after the examination, stating that everything checked out 'PERFECTLY.' The delayed release of the results prompted speculation about potential bad news, but the report confirmed no major health issues.
