Results of Donald Trump’s Annual Physical Examination Released by White House #2

According to a report released by the White House, Donald Trump has been declared in excellent physical and cognitive health following his annual physical examination. However, fans are skeptical, with many questioning the accuracy of his reported weight and overall fitness.

Trump underwent a medical evaluation at the Walter Reed hospital in Bethesda, Maryland, and was found to be in strong overall condition. His doctor noted that his cardiac, neurological, pulmonary, and general physical functions were all performing well.

The examination also included a comprehensive neurological evaluation. The president reportedly showed no signs of depression or anxiety and achieved a perfect score on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, a widely used screening tool for detecting early cognitive decline.

According to the physician, Trump sustained a scar on his right ear as a result of a gunshot wound during the assassination attempt in July of the previous year. Aside from this scar, his head, ears, nose, and throat have no abnormalities. Trump’s hearing was also found to be normal.

The medical report detailed several ongoing conditions, including well-managed high cholesterol, rosacea, and a past Covid-19 infection. A benign colon polyp was also noted. Trump’s current medication regimen includes cholesterol-lowering drugs, low-dose aspirin for heart health, and a topical treatment for a skin condition.

Weighing in at 224 pounds and standing 6 feet 2.5 inches tall, the president was noted to have joints and muscles with a full range of motion, according to the report.

While Trump has long been known for his preference for fast food and a non-traditional approach to fitness, the memo attributed part of his good health to regular participation in golf, adding that he has “frequent victories in golf events.”

The physician concluded that the president remains in top shape, with no abnormalities detected in his heart, and is capable of fulfilling the responsibilities of his role.

The health report sparked a wave of reactions online, with fans weighing in with skepticism and personal comparisons. One person raised concerns about the math not adding up, “Somethings wrong – his height over estimated or his weight underestimated. He looks like a BMI of 32 or above, the measurements make him 28. Publish the truth or don’t bother. [sic]”

Someone tried to make sense of the results, noting, “How can he be 6’3″ and 224? He weighs more than 224.” Another commenter agreed, “Absolutely no way 😂 I’m 5’11 and at my heaviest I was 225 still nowhere near Trump’s size.”

Someone with similar opinions wrote, “Good, but c’mon, no way he’s 224 lbs.” Another person was straightforward, saying, “That man is not 224 lbs.” One individual couldn’t help but be stunned by the report, “78 years old, fast food diet, zero exercise… and still perfectly healthy.”

Among the mix of comments, one person gave credit where it’s due, “Impressive results. Say what you will, but energy and mental acuity at that level is not easy to maintain. Staying sharp under pressure is a real skill.”

Another person with similar views penned, “Say what you will about Trump, but a clean bill of health at that level of pressure? That’s no small thing. Leading a nation takes stamina physical and mental.”

Before Donald Trump was given a clean bill of health, concerns about his well-being were widely discussed. Experts pointed out that someone of his age, especially while serving in such a high-pressure role, could be vulnerable to various health issues.

In an interview, Dr. Daniel Atkinson from Treated.com noted that individuals nearing 80 could face challenges like fluctuating weight and an increased risk of conditions such as diabetes.

He explained that managing blood sugar becomes more difficult with age and that insulin resistance is more likely to develop, especially under a demanding schedule like that of a president. With such comments, the public had urged Trump to undergo a physical examination during his campaign and in recent weeks.

On Friday, April 11, he took to Truth Social to share his enthusiasm about undergoing the much-anticipated medical test. He was full of confidence, writing, “I have never felt better, but nevertheless, these things must be done!”

Following the exam, Trump addressed reporters aboard Air Force One, stating, “I think I did well.” He assured the public that the results would be released on Sunday, a promise that was fulfilled.

He praised the medical team, describing them as highly respected professionals, and commending the facility where the exam was conducted.

When asked if any lifestyle changes had been recommended, Trump acknowledged there were a few suggestions but chose not to go into detail. He added that he has a good heart and a very good soul. He also took pride in acing his cognitive test, noting that he answered every question correctly.

Experts such as Dr. Mark Siegel have also weighed in on Trump’s physical examination results and praised several aspects of the report.

He highlighted the president’s blood pressure of 128 over 70 and improved cholesterol levels, noting that the cholesterol-lowering medications were clearly effective.

Siegel also commended Trump’s weight loss and improved Body Mass Index (BMI), describing the changes as significant. He pointed out Trump’s strong cognitive abilities, noting that his unscripted speaking style reflected his mental sharpness.

According to Siegel, Trump exhibits the energy of someone much younger and has a strong life span and an impressive health span. He called the results “inspiratory” and said the president is an example for younger people aiming to maintain long-term health.

Trump is receiving significant praise as his current results reflect notable improvement compared to previous examinations. During his earlier physicals, he weighed 244 pounds, placing him in the obese category with a Body Mass Index of 30.5. His latest figures show a drop in weight, bringing his BMI into the overweight, not obese, range.

Back in 2018, his total cholesterol measured 223, but over time, with the help of medications like rosuvastatin, that number steadily dropped, first to 196 in early 2019 and then to 167 in 2020, which falls well below the recommended threshold of 200.

Other indicators of his health have also seen progress. His blood pressure of 121 over 79 in 2020 fell into the elevated category but was still manageable. Additionally, his resting heart rate has remained consistently low at 62 beats per minute, a sign of good cardiovascular fitness.

These improvements have been attributed to medication and lifestyle changes, contributing to the positive tone surrounding his most recent exam.
