On April 13, 2025, the White House released a medical report confirming that former President Donald Trump is in “excellent health” and fully capable of serving as president. The report followed his annual physical exam at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on April 11, 2025, conducted by White House physician Dr. Sean Barbabella.
Key highlights from the report include:
- Weight and BMI: Trump now weighs 224 pounds, a 20-pound drop from his last physical in 2020. His BMI is 28.0, which classifies him as overweight.
- Cognitive Health: Trump scored a perfect 30 on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, showing no signs of cognitive impairments.
- Cardiac and Pulmonary Health: His blood pressure is 128/74 mmHg, and his resting heart rate is 62 beats per minute, both within healthy ranges.
- Medical History: The report notes his past COVID-19 infection, cataract surgery, and a benign colon polyp found during a 2024 colonoscopy. It also mentions scarring from a failed assassination attempt in 2024.
Dr. Barbabella credits Trump’s active lifestyle, including frequent golf games, for his strong health. Trump expressed confidence in his physical condition, citing his recent win at the Senior Club Championship at Trump National Golf Club in Florida as proof of his vitality.
This assessment was released to reassure the public about Trump’s fitness for presidential duties, especially considering his age of 78.
