Medical guidelines generally classify a BMI of 30 or higher as obese, placing Trump just below that threshold.<\/p>\n<div class=\"twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered\"><iframe id=\"twitter-widget-0\" class=\"\" title=\"X Post\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?dnt=true&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-0&amp;features=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%3D%3D&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=false&amp;id=2060569368430264476&amp;lang=en&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fconservativebrief.com%2Fphysician-trump-101648%2F&amp;sessionId=63226e29170adad59c114e36719712fcf4a84086&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=6a3ad42b224df%3A1778106238597&amp;width=550px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-tweet-id=\"2060569368430264476\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The report also documented bruising on Trump\u2019s hands, explained as \u201cminor soft tissue irritation related to frequent handshaking,\u201d and said it was \u201ca common and benign effect of aspirin therapy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Among the recommendations was a switch to low-dose aspirin, Barbabella\u2019s report said.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>According to the latest medical report, Trump still exhibited slight lower-leg swelling during this year\u2019s examination, but his physician noted that the condition has improved since last year.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond that issue, the report found no significant health concerns.<\/p>\n<p>Barbabella said the president demonstrated strong cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, and overall physical health, with no abnormal findings identified during the comprehensive evaluation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHis demanding daily schedule, including multiple high-level meetings, public engagements, and regular physical activity, continues to support his overall well-being,\u201d Barbabella wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Trump also underwent the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, a widely used screening tool for cognitive impairment and dementia.<\/p>\n<p>According to his physicians, he scored a perfect 30 out of 30 \u2014 matching the results reported during examinations in 2025 and 2018.<\/p>\n<p>The report also highlighted significant improvements in Trump\u2019s cholesterol levels. His total cholesterol measured 143, down dramatically from 223 in 2018.<\/p>\n<p>Doctors attributed the improvement in part to medications including rosuvastatin, which helps lower LDL (\u201cbad\u201d) cholesterol while increasing HDL (\u201cgood\u201d) cholesterol, and ezetimibe, which further reduces LDL levels.<\/p>\n<p>The examination, which Trump described as a comprehensive physical, marked the fourth publicly disclosed medical evaluation since returning to office for his second term.<\/p>\n<p>The release comes as the administration seeks to demonstrate the president\u2019s health and fitness heading into a critical midterm election cycle.<\/p>\n<p>Presidential health disclosures have long been a matter of public interest, though there is no legal requirement that presidents release complete medical records.<\/p>\n<p>Administrations from both parties have historically chosen how much information to make public, resulting in varying levels of transparency.<\/p>\n<p>Trump, who turns 80 next month, was the oldest person ever elected president at the time of his election.<\/p>\n<p>His predecessor, President Joe Biden, left office at age 82 after ending his 2024 reelection campaign amid widespread concerns about his age and fitness for another term.<\/p>\n<p>Biden failed miserably in his lone debate against Trump in June 2024, showing what many said were obvious signs of mental cognitive decline.<\/p>\n<p>He dropped out of his reelection bid not long afterward and endorsed his vice president, Kamala Harris, much to the chagrin of many in the Democrat Party who preferred to have a primary.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Donald Trump remains in \u201cexcellent health\u201d and is \u201cfully fit\u201d to carry out the duties of commander in chief, according to a medical report released Friday following a comprehensive &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":12702,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12701","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.0 -
