The White House Physician's Verdict: 'Fully Fit' to Serve

President Trump's latest medical checkup has been released, with White House physician Dr. Sean Barbabella declaring him 'fully fit' to serve. The report, which was released late Friday, notes that Trump's demanding daily schedule continues to support his overall well-being.

The examination was routine and included several assessments, including cognitive, cardiac, pulmonary, and dermatologic exams. Barbabella cleared Trump on all the different tests, but made some notable comments, including the improvement of his 'slight lower leg swelling' since last year and the determination that his bruised hands are 'related to frequent handshaking.'

The Impact of Aspirin Therapy

Trump takes aspirin to maintain his cardiovascular health, causing his skin to be easily irritated. The doctor noted that the bruising, formally known as ecchymosis, 'represents a common and benign effect of aspirin therapy.'

When examining his cardiac health, Barbabella said Trump's cardiac age is 'approximately 14 years younger than his chronological age.' The president turns 80 on June 14.

Trump's Cognitive Health: A 30 Out of 30 on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment

As for his cognitive health , Trump scored a 30 out of 30 on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, which is used to detect signs of dementia or cognitive decline. Trump's swollen legs and bruised hands, rather than his cognition, have been the source of scrutiny.

Those conditions stem from his chronic venous insufficiency diagnosis last July. Barbabella cleared him on all the different tests, but he made some notable comments. The doctor noted the 'slight lower leg swelling' has improved since last year and determined his bruised hands are 'related to frequent handshaking.'

What's Behind the 'Fully Fit' Label?

The findings were not quite different from the last two medical reports,though Trump has gained 14 pounds since April 2025. He weighs 238 pounds and has a resting heart rate of 73 beats per minute.

Barbabella reported that 'preventive counseling was provided, includng guidance on diet, recommendation to take a low-dose aspirin, increased physical activity and continued weight loss.'

What's Next for Trump's Health?

As Trump continues to serve as President, his health will remain a topic of interest. The White House physician's report provides a snapshot of his health at this moment, but it remains to be seen how his health will change in the future.
