President Donald Trump has completed his first physical examination of his second term, including a cognitive assessment, with results released by the White House confirming he is “fully fit.” The five-hour medical checkup, conducted by Dr. Sean Barbabella at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, reportedly involved a comprehensive battery of tests. Trump scored a perfect 30 out of 30 on the cognitive exam and was praised for his strong cardiac, pulmonary, and neurological health. Dr. Barbabella noted the president’s active lifestyle—highlighting his frequent golf games—as a significant contributor to his overall well-being. Trump’s weight was listed at 224 pounds, and he is currently taking Aspirin, Mometasone cream, Rosuvastatin, and Ezetimibe.
This report marks the first official health update since the July assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania. The medical memo also mentioned scarring on Trump’s right ear from the incident. In his remarks, Trump emphasized he felt he was “in very good shape,” and proudly mentioned his cognitive score. Despite past criticism of President Joe Biden’s age—whom Trump often mocked as “Sleepy Joe”—Trump is now on track to be slightly older than Biden was at the end of his term. Recently, images showing bruises on Trump’s hands and a wobbly leg in videos from Mar-a-Lago sparked health speculation. The White House clarified the bruises were due to frequent handshaking, dismissing any serious health concerns. Trump stated he took the cognitive test to differentiate himself from Biden and prove his mental sharpness.
