Donald Trump 'still in excellent health' but needs to lose weight, doctor says

President Donald Trump, 79, remains in "excellent health" and is "fully fit to exercise all duties of commander-in-chief and head of state," according to a medical report released Friday. The report followed routine examinations earlier this week at Walter Reed military hospital.

Presidential physician Captain Sean Barbabella stated that Trump's general cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, and physical functions are solid. The three-page report detailed the medical exam and diagnostic tests performed on Tuesday.

The President Trump is still in excellent health and presents solid general cardiac, pulmonary, neurological and physical functions.

Preventative advice included dietary recommendations, low-dose aspirin for heart prevention, increased physical activity, and continued weight loss. Trump, who turns 80 on June 14, takes three medications, including two for cholesterol and aspirin. This was his third medical exam since his January 2025 inauguration, a semi-annual pace rather than the usual annual cadence.

The report attributed a persistent bruise on Trump's right hand, often covered by makeup, to frequent handshakes combined with cardiovascular preventative aspirin use. During his first term, Trump faced accusations of a lack of transparency regarding his health, particularly after contracting COVID-19 in October 2020.

Everything went PERFECTLY.
