After experts warned about the speculation President Donald Trump acquired a formal medical report from the White House.
At 78 Trump secured the position of oldest president in history which surpassed the term of Joe Biden’s presidency that ended at 82. Age attracts attention from observers who inspect any substantial changes that occur within people.
Since 2020 Trump has lost between 20 to 30 pounds which resulted in clear weight reduction observable by people. People applauded his better health but healthcare professionals saw the weight loss as potential problems.
Dr. Daniel Atkinson, clinical lead at Treated.com, flagged that
“significant weight loss at Trump’s age could signal a serious underlying condition.”
He cited diabetes and other metabolic changes that can silently impact older adults, warning,
“An almost 80-year-old with a busy schedule might be more susceptible to conditions that cause weight loss.”
The White House took necessary measures based on this advisory warning. President Donald Trump visited Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for his annual physical examination where his physician U.S. Navy Captain Sean Barbabella presented a thorough three-page document to the public on a Sunday.
The result?
“President Trump exhibits excellent cognitive and physical health and is fully fit to execute the duties of the Commander-in-Chief and Head of State,” Barbabella stated.
The assessment revealed that Trump shows excellent persistence of cardiac health and pulmonary wellness and neurological stability together with strong general physical fitness.
Investigations revealed only mild conditions involving diverticulosis together with a benign colon polyp yet doctors found no dangerous findings in the results.
The doctor has advised undergoing another colonoscopy examination in three years since this represents typical preventive protocols.
Trump shows signs of a permanent scar on his right ear which resulted from an assassination attempt during his Butler Pennsylvania rally last July. The medical assessment showed Trump had no hearing impairment after his experience at the rally.
The medications Trump takes consist of rosuvastatin and ezetimibe which reduce cholesterol as well as a topical steroid prescription for treating minor skin problems.
The doctor reported a slightly elevated blood pressure at 128/74 along with an improvement in his body mass index from 2020 which currently stands at 28 indicating overweight classification.
The Montreal Cognitive Assessment score achieved by Donald Trump became the central focus among observers because he scored a flawless 30 points out of 30.
The president voluntarily took a cognitive test which detects the early warning signs of dementia or cognitive impairment even though such assessments are optional.
Trump asserted his cognitive health by responding
“I got every answer right” to the question asked. “I took just a lot of different tests—having to do with the heart, having to do with other things.”
The White House administration keeps emphasizing how the president keeps fit by taking part in daily meetings and public appearances and winning regular golf matches.
His daily activities which include meetings and public events and golf victories are important health factors as Barbabella points out.
The president delivered his health report to the public during heavier media attention due to his decision to implement aggressive tariff-based economic policies that caused market instability.
Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt hinted that his stamina and mental clarity were key factors in his recent decisions, stating,
“Previous presidents may have lacked the courage or stamina to take on such a task.”
The administrative team shows a strong dedication to end all speculations through this present update. The medical report shows Trump to remain physically and mentally able despite continuing age-related political discussion about his condition.
