President Donald Trump has received a clean bill of health following his first official physical of his second term, with his physician confirming that the 78-year-old remains in strong shape to serve as president
On Friday, April 11, Trump visited Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for a routine and comprehensive health evaluation. The White House released the results two days later, on Sunday, April 13, in a memo issued by Dr. Sean Barbabella, the president’s official physician.
According to the report, President Trump takes a standard combination of cholesterol medications — Rosuvastatin and Ezetimibe — as well as a low-dose aspirin for heart health. He also uses a topical cream, Mometasone, for a minor skin condition as needed.Standing at 6-foot-3, Trump now weighs 224 pounds, reflecting a 20-pound weight loss since 2020. The memo credited his more active lifestyle, which includes a demanding schedule of public events, meetings, and regular golf, for helping him maintain his current health.
Dr. Barbabella noted that President Trump underwent cataract surgery on both eyes and completed a routine colonoscopy in July 2024, which showed common findings such as a benign polyp and mild diverticulosis — typical for his age group.
All routine vaccinations, including those required for international travel, are current, according to the report“President Trump continues to demonstrate robust cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, and general physical function,” Dr. Barbabella stated, noting that the president’s stamina and energy remain strong as he continues to fulfill the responsibilities of his office.
Earlier in the week, Trump posted on Truth Social, saying, “I have never felt better, but nonetheless, these important checkups must be done!”As the oldest person ever inaugurated in January 2025, Trump has made health a consistent focus, especially following a high-profile incident in July 2024 when he sustained a minor injury during an attempted attack. At the time, his campaign released a letter from Rep. Ronny Jackson, a former White House physician, confirming that Trump had recovered fully and remained in good condition.
Though occasional questions about his memory and cognition have surfaced in media reports and interviews, the recent health assessment made no mention of any concerns in this area.With this latest report, Trump’s medical team reaffirms that the president is physically fit and ready to continue leading the nation. His supporters view the clean bill of health as further confirmation of his enduring energy and commitment.
