President Donald Trump is “fully fit” to perform the duties of the presidency, the White House physician said in a memorandum released Sunday following Trump’s yearly physical that cited his “frequent victories” in golf tournaments as evidence of his robust health.
The note, which included details of laboratory work, physical examinations and a cognitive test, concluded that Trump remains in “excellent health.”
Trump, who is 78 years old, weighs 224 pounds and is 75 inches tall, the note reports. His resting heart rate is 62 beats per minute, and his blood pressure is 128/74 mmHg, which is considered elevated.
His weight is down 20 pounds from his final presidential physical in 2020, when he came in at 244 pounds. His cholesterol levels have also improved since he last released details of his physical health.
Trump scored 30 out of 30 on a Montreal Cognitive Assessment exam, the note said. The president told reporters as he flew to Florida on Friday that he “got every answer right” on the well-known assessment that doctors can quickly use to detect “mild cognitive dysfunction.”
Exams of Trump’s various bodily systems came back normal, including of his eyes, head, ears, nose and throat. The physician noted scarring on Trump’s right ear derived from the attempt on his life in Pennsylvania last year.
Trump exhibits “robust cardiac, pulmonary, neurological and general physical function,” Dr. Sean Barbabella wrote. “His active lifestyle continues to contribute significantly to his well-being.”
He cited Trump’s participation in meetings, appearances and “frequent victories in golf events” as evidence of his active lifestyle. The White House has frequently informed reporters of Trump’s prowess on the golf course, including winning various championships at clubs he owns in Florida.
Barbabella said a colonoscopy last summer revealed the president had diverticulitis, an inflammation caused when people develop small sacs in the walls of the colon. The sacs or pouches are called diverticuli. It’s usually symptomless, but can cause discomfort and, sometimes, bleeding.
The document also said the president had, at some point, undergone cataract surgery, though it did not specify when.
“President Trump exhibits excellent cognitive and physical health and is fully fit to execute the duties of the Commander-in-Chief and Health of State,” the memo concludes.

More info - he never smoked nor drank?
The US president has been advised to take rosuvastatin and ezetimibe for cholesterol control, aspirin for cardiac prevention, and mometasone cream for a skin condition, according to the health report on the White House website.
“The skin examination revealed some minor sun damage and a few lesions. No concerning lesions or growths were identified,” the report said.
The report shared by President Donald Trump's physician, Navy Capt. Sean Barbabella, mentions that Trump's urinalysis results were normal.
His pertinent past medical history includes well-controlled hypercholesterolemia, seasonal allergies, a history of COVID-19 infection, and well-managed conditions such as rosacea, actinic keratosis, benign nevi, diverticulosis, and a benign colon polyp.
In terms of past surgical history, Trump underwent an appendectomy at age 11 and bilateral cataract surgery.
The report also mentions that his social history reflects “lifelong abstinence from tobacco and alcohol.”

Kidney and liver function were also well within normal limits, with BUN at 18.2 mg/dL (Normal: 7-20 mg/dL), Creatinine at 0.89 mg/dL (Normal: 0.74-1.35 mg/dL), ALT at 41 U/L (Normal: 7-56 U/L), and AST at 28 U/L (Normal: 10-40 U/L).

One article I read recently mentioned his 30 pound weight loss. You can tell in the last few months of 2024. Melania made him give up bread on his McDonald's.

I don’t believe one word of it.,
Everyone who works for him lies.
Starting with those golf excuses.
I have never once seen golf being equated with exercise or health.
He drives his obese ass in the golf cart instead of walking which would burn calories.
And he is a known cheater.
Of course he is going to “win” tournaments at his own clubs!
Who do they think they are fooling besides his morons for the moron?

You know who else cheated at golf and they claimed made holes in one all the time?
The previous leader of N. Korea.
Reflections of that.

He does seem to be fully functional, in the brain department, but I highly doubt he's in fine physical condition, given his weight.
