President Donald Trump is in excellent health and fully fit for office, according to an official medical report released Friday.
President Donald Trump remains in “excellent health” and is “fully fit” to carry out the duties of commander in chief, according to a medical report released Friday following a comprehensive examination at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.
The report, authored by Dr. Sean Barbabella, said Trump underwent an extensive series of evaluations during his visit, including a CT scan, advanced cardiac imaging, cancer screenings, and numerous preventative health assessments conducted by a team of 22 medical specialists. The physician’s report concluded that Trump remains in strong physical condition and capable of fully performing the responsibilities of the presidency, according to multiple reports. According to the report, Trump weighed 238 pounds during the examination, an increase of 14 pounds from his April 2025 physical.
Physicians provided recommendations regarding diet, physical activity, and weight management, but emphasized that the president remains in strong overall health. The report stated that Trump’s “cognitive and physical performance are excellent” and that he remains fully capable of carrying out the demands of the office. At 6 feet, 3 inches tall, Trump’s body mass index was measured at 29.7.
Trump Health Assessment Details
Medical guidelines generally classify a BMI of 30 or higher as obese, placing Trump just below that threshold. The report also documented bruising on Trump’s hands, explained as “minor soft tissue irritation related to frequent handshaking,” and said it was “a common and benign effect of aspirin therapy.” Among the recommendations was a switch to low-dose aspirin, Barbabella’s report said.
The White House disclosed last year that Trump had been diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, a common age-related condition that can cause blood to pool in the legs and lead to swelling. According to the latest medical report, Trump still exhibited slight lower-leg swelling during this year’s examination, but his physician noted that the condition has improved since last year. Barbabella said the president demonstrated strong cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, and overall physical health, with no abnormal findings identified during the comprehensive evaluation.
