White House releases Trump’s health exam results
The White House released the results of President Donald Trump’s May physical late Friday evening, sharing a memo from his physician recommending he lose weight and exercise more while noting he is in excellent health, reports BritPanorama.
“President Trump remains in excellent health, demonstrating strong cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, and overall physical function,” White House physician Dr. Sean Barbabella wrote in a letter addressed to White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt. “Cognitive and physical performance are excellent. He is fully fit to carry out all duties of the Commander-in-Chief and Head of State.”
Barbabella wrote, “Preventive counseling was provided,” during the Tuesday exam, “including guidance on diet, recommendation to take a low-dose aspirin, increased physical activity, and continued weight loss.”
Trump’s visit to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center Tuesday marked the third time he’s visited the facility for a medical exam since becoming the oldest president ever inaugurated last year.
The release of the health memo reflects ongoing public interest in the president’s well-being, especially as he continues his duties amid a contentious political landscape. As Trump prepares for a second term campaign, health remains a critical aspect for voters evaluating his fitness for office.
