President Trump’s medical results are in.
The White House finally released this three-page document at 10:30 p.m. Eastern on a Friday night. That’s what we would call a Friday night news dump. That’s an industry term for news that people want to fly under the radar, so they release it late on a Friday night because everyone is already checked out for the weekend.
But I’m not — so let’s see what Trump’s results were.
The report said President Trump remains in excellent health, demonstrating strong cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, and overall physical function. His demanding daily schedule, including multiple high-level meetings, public engagements, and regular physical activity, continues to support his overall well-being. Cognitive and physical performance are excellent. He is fully fit to carry out all the duties of the commander in chief and head of state.
So let’s go one by one.
According to this report, Trump is 75 inches tall and weighs 238 pounds. That is up 14 pounds from his April 2025 weigh-in. That’s a BMI of 30, which puts him in the obese category.
The report says Trump underwent a comprehensive evaluation with all diagnostic studies and lab tests and consulted with 22 specialists while he was at Walter Reed on Tuesday.
The report said his eyes were normal. It found scarring on his right ear “consistent with the prior gunshot injury.” An ultrasound of his carotid arteries was normal, and his lungs were clear.
It says Trump is on two cholesterol medications and takes aspirin for cardiac health.
The report said his teeth are in very good condition, which is interesting because we know that Trump went to a dentist in Florida twice in recent months for “routine procedures.”
The report says he had a CT scan of his arteries that found no blockages or narrowing. Just like his last report, this one says a computer analysis found his heart functions more like someone who is 14 years younger than his actual age. So overall, his heart function, according to this report, is excellent.
The report noted “slight lower leg swelling” but says it has improved since last year.
And then it talks about the bruising on his hands. It again claims that bruising is from “frequent handshaking” and says it bruises because of his aspirin intake. The report says this bruising is no big deal.
But how does handshaking explain the bruising on both of his hands? Doesn’t make sense.
Lastly, it talks about Trump’s neurological exam. He did that Montreal Cognitive Assessment again. That’s the one Trump always talks about when he says, “Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV.”
According to the website for the test, it is administered to patients to detect mild cognitive impairment and early-stage dementia.
We know Trump, by Trump’s own admission, has taken this test several times. The report released tonight says he scored 30 out of 30 on the most recent test.
But that doesn’t necessarily mean the person taking the test has no cognitive problems whatsoever. When someone takes the same or a similar test repeatedly, they become familiar with the questions, so they may perform better than they would if they had no idea what was on the test.
It doesn’t mean the person is “gaming” the test. It just means that because of familiarity with the test, the person may see improved scores.
