The White House released the results of President Trump’s annual physical on Sunday, with White House physician Capt. Sean Barbabella detailing in a memo that the president remains in “excellent health.” The president underwent his annual physical at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on Friday, which included diagnostic and laboratory testing.
Trump, 78, had his last known comprehensive examination in September 2023, in which he released limited details. Mr. Trump’s last annual physical as president occurred in June 2020, with the White House stating he weighed 244 pounds, and his blood pressure was 121/79. Trump’s latest physical states that the president weighs 224 pounds, and his blood pressure was 128/74.
Trump exhibits “robust cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, and general physical function,” according to the report from Barbabella, who said he also performed a comprehensive neurological examination, which revealed “no abnormalities in his mental status.”
The report revealed that Trump underwent a colonoscopy in July 2024, which “revealed diverticulosis and a benign polyp.” Gastroenterologists recommended that the president should have a follow-up colonoscopy in 2027. The president passed his Montreal Cognitive Assessment with a perfect score of 30 out of 30, the same score he received on that assessment in 2018. He was also screened for depression and anxiety and had “scores within the normal range for both,” and Barbabella noted in his diagnostic summary that Trump has scarring on his right hear from a gunshot wound, referring to the assassination attempt on the president in Butler, Pennsylvania, last summer.
Barbabella concluded that: “President Trump’s days include participation in multiple meetings, public appearances, press availability, and frequent victories in golf events. President Trump exhibits excellent cognitive and physical health and is fully fit to execute the duties of the Commander-in-Chief and Head of State.”
