The physician to the U.S. President has confirmed that Donald Trump is in excellent health and fully capable of fulfilling his duties as head of state. This assessment follows a comprehensive medical evaluation conducted at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on Tuesday, May 26.
A report issued late Friday, May 29, by Dr. Sean Barbabella detailed that the 79-year-old president underwent an extensive series of diagnostic tests. These included a CT scan, advanced cardiac imaging, cancer screenings, and various preventative assessments overseen by a team of 22 medical specialists.
Data from the examination shows that Trump currently weighs 108 kilograms, marking an increase of six kilograms since his previous check-up in April 2025. Standing approximately 1.9 meters tall, his current Body Mass Index (BMI) stands at 29.7, placing him just below the clinical threshold for obesity, which is set at 30. While his physician has provided recommendations regarding diet, physical activity, and weight management, the report maintains that the president’s cognitive and physical performance remains excellent.
Addressing specific health concerns, the medical team documented minor bruising on the president’s hands, attributing it to mild soft-tissue irritation caused by frequent handshaking. Physicians identified this as a common and benign side effect of aspirin therapy and have recommended transitioning to a lower-dose regimen.
Furthermore, the evaluation touched upon chronic venous insufficiency—a condition typically associated with older adults that causes blood to pool in the lower extremities. The report noted minor swelling in the president’s lower legs; however, this showed measurable improvement compared to the findings documented last year.
Overall, the medical report found no significant abnormalities. Trump demonstrated robust heart, lung, and neurological health, as well as positive general wellness. Dr. Barbabella noted that the president’s demanding daily schedule, which involves high-level meetings, public engagements, and routine physical activity, continues to contribute positively to his overall well-being, as cited by ABC News.
Regarding cognitive health, Trump was administered the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, a standardized tool used to detect signs of dementia or impairment. He achieved a perfect score of 30 out of 30, consistent with the results recorded both last year and in 2018.

The comprehensive assessment by a team of 22 specialists included advanced cardiac imaging, cancer screenings, and a perfect score on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment. While the report noted minor issues such as soft-tissue bruising and slight leg swelling, these conditions were classified as benign and showed improvement from previous examinations.

Although his physician recommended adjustments to his diet and exercise regimen to manage this weight increase, the report maintains that his overall physical and neurological functions are robust. His high level of daily activity is considered a contributing factor to his continued well-being.
