President Donald J. Trump underwent his annual physical examination at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, as detailed in a memorandum from Physician to the President, Capt. Sean P. Barbarella, D.O., MC, USN. The comprehensive evaluation included diagnostic testing, laboratory analysis, and consultations with specialists, alongside a review by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF). At 78 years and 10 months, the President’s vital statistics showed a height of 75 inches, weight of 224 pounds, blood pressure of 128/74 mmHg, resting heart rate of 62 beats per minute, and a temperature of 98.6°F, indicating stable baseline health metrics.
The physical examination revealed largely normal findings across multiple systems. Cardiovascular tests, including an EKG and echocardiogram, confirmed normal heart function with a healthy ejection fraction, while a CT scan of the chest showed clear lungs. Neurologically, President Trump scored a perfect 30/30 on the MoCA cognitive assessment, with no signs of depression or anxiety, and his neurological exam was unremarkable. A July 2024 colonoscopy noted diverticulosis and a benign polyp, prompting a recommendation for a follow-up in three years, but current gastrointestinal and abdominal exams were normal. The only notable physical finding was scarring on the right ear from a July 2024 gunshot wound, with no ongoing impact.
Laboratory results further supported the President’s robust health. His lipid panel showed optimal cholesterol levels (total cholesterol: 140 mg/dL, LDL: 51 mg/dL, HDL: 77 mg/dL), managed with Rosuvastatin, Ezetimibe, and Aspirin. Blood work, including a fasting glucose of 89.7 mg/dL, hemoglobin A1c of 5.2, and normal complete blood count (hemoglobin: 14.5 g/dL, platelets: 229 K/µL), indicated no metabolic or hematologic concerns. Additional tests, such as PSA (0.10 ng/mL) and TSH (1.42 µIU/mL), were within normal ranges, reflecting overall physiological stability.
President Trump’s health is bolstered by a lifelong abstinence from tobacco and alcohol, as well as an active lifestyle involving frequent meetings, public appearances, and golf events. His medical history includes well-controlled hypercholesterolemia, seasonal allergies, a prior COVID-19 infection, rosacea, actinic keratosis, diverticulosis, and a benign colon polyp, with past surgeries limited to an appendectomy at age 11 and bilateral cataract surgery. All recommended vaccinations are current. Overall, President Trump remains in excellent health, exhibiting robust cardiovascular, pulmonary, neurological, and physical function, and is fully fit to execute the duties of the Commander-in-Chief and Head of State.
