Presidential Health Assessment Results

President Donald Trump completed his first annual physical examination since returning to the White House at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. The results indicate the 78-year-old president is in “excellent” health according to White House officials. Particularly noteworthy is Trump’s perfect score of 30/30 on a cognitive assessment test, directly addressing concerns that have been raised about his mental acuity due to his status as the oldest person ever inaugurated as president of the United States.

Physical metrics revealed during the examination show Trump weighs 224 pounds, which officially places him in the overweight category according to standard medical classifications. His blood pressure is currently elevated, though not yet reaching levels that would be classified as hypertension. The president continues to take several medications, including rosuvastatin to control his cholesterol levels, which the report indicates are now within the optimal range.

Historical Health Transparency

This physical examination comes after a prolonged period with minimal public disclosure about Trump’s health. During his previous administration, the last detailed health update was provided in 2018. Throughout the 2024 presidential campaign, despite promises to provide comprehensive medical information, the Trump campaign offered limited health details to voters. This pattern deviates from the traditional presidential practice of transparency regarding physical fitness for office.

Prior medical assessments from 2018 had categorized Trump as being in “excellent” cardiovascular health for his age, despite being overweight and having high cholesterol at that time. His LDL cholesterol was previously measured at 143, with total cholesterol at 223 – both above recommended levels. In addition to cholesterol medication, Trump takes finasteride for hair loss, aspirin for heart disease prevention, a daily multivitamin, and ivermectin to treat rosacea.

Post-Assassination Attempt Health

This examination represents the first official health update since the assassination attempt at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, where Trump sustained a gunshot wound to his right ear. While former White House physician Ronny Jackson claimed to have reviewed Trump’s medical records from the incident, the campaign never officially released these documents. The White House Press Secretary has now promised a comprehensive report from the current White House physician.

Presidential health records remain technically private documents, allowing administrations discretion regarding what information becomes public. Health experts note that previous Trump medical reports have been flattering but often lacked the depth of detail provided by other administrations. Following his departure from the White House in 2021, Trump’s personal physician, Bruce Aronwald, reported improved lab results attributed to weight loss, though specifics were not disclosed.
