Presidential Health Assessment

The White House has released findings from President Donald Trump’s first annual physical exam of his second term, declaring the 78-year-old commander-in-chief in “excellent” health. The comprehensive examination, conducted at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, addressed numerous health metrics including cognitive function, cardiovascular health, and general physical condition. Notably, Trump achieved a perfect score of 30/30 on a cognitive assessment, effectively countering previous criticisms and concerns about his mental acuity that had been raised during the campaign trail.

Despite his advanced age as the oldest person ever inaugurated as president, Trump’s overall health appears robust with some monitored conditions. The medical report indicated Trump weighs 224 pounds, which classifies him as overweight but shows stability in his physical condition. His blood pressure was noted as elevated though not reaching hypertensive levels. The president continues to take medications to control his cholesterol, which current testing shows are within optimal ranges, demonstrating effective management of what had previously been a health concern.

Medical History and Current Regiment

The current physical provides significantly more detail than has been available since 2018, addressing a previous lack of comprehensive health information during and after Trump’s first term. In his previous presidency, a 2018 health report suggested Trump was in excellent cardiovascular health but needed to lose weight and increase exercise. The latest assessment shows consistency in some areas with improvements in others, particularly regarding cholesterol management, which had previously been a concern with LDL readings of 143 and total cholesterol at 223 during earlier tests.

Trump’s current medication regimen includes rosuvastatin for cholesterol management, finasteride for hair loss prevention, aspirin for heart disease prevention, a daily multivitamin, and ivermectin to treat rosacea. This marks a continuation of his previously reported treatment plan. After his October 2020 hospitalization for COVID-19, which included experimental treatments after experiencing fever and low blood oxygen, the president appears to have fully recovered with no lasting effects noted in the current examination.

A New Era of Medical Transparency

This physical represents a departure from Trump’s historically private approach to medical information. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt promised a comprehensive report from the White House physician before the examination, which has been delivered. The physical is also significant as it represents the first formal medical evaluation since the assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania last July, where Trump sustained a gunshot wound to his right ear but quickly returned to campaigning.

While presidents maintain privacy rights regarding their medical records, allowing discretion in what information becomes public, this release appears more detailed than previous disclosures. During the 2024 campaign, Trump had made promises to provide health information that went unfulfilled. This latest report addresses those prior commitments and provides Americans with a clearer picture of their president’s physical condition as he continues his second term in office at an unprecedented age for a sitting president.
