According to White House physician Captain Sean Barbabella, President Trump, at 78 years old, exhibits exceptional cognitive function, and his active lifestyle plays a crucial role in his overall health.

In a newly released memo, President Trump is reported to be in "excellent cognitive and physical health," following his latest medical examination.
In a comprehensive health assessment at Walter Reed hospital in Bethesda, Maryland, President Trump was found to be in outstanding condition both mentally and physically. His White House doctor, Captain Sean Barbabella, stated in a memo that Trump passed a range of tests without showing any signs of depression or anxiety. Notably, he scored a perfect 30 out of 30 on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, which is used to detect cognitive impairments.
Barbabella highlighted Trump's "active lifestyle" and noted that he has "frequent victories in golf," reinforcing the president's commitment to maintaining his health. In addition to his mental assessments, Trump's physical examination revealed no abnormalities in his cardiac health, although the memo mentioned he has "minor sun damage" and several benign skin lesions. He is managing high cholesterol with prescribed medications and has a medical history of controlled hypercholesterolemia and a past COVID-19 infection.
Standing at 6 feet 2.5 inches and weighing 224 pounds, Trump has lost weight since February 2019. While still categorized as overweight, his health appears stable and his joints remain flexible, which is attributed to his dedication to physical activity. This medical report is the first to be made public since a gunman attempted to assassinate him in July, leaving him with a grazing wound on his ear.
During this assessment, the president maintained a confident demeanor, stating, "Overall, I felt I was in very good shape." He indicated that he received lifestyle improvement suggestions from his doctors without going into specifics. This announcement comes amid ongoing discussions about the health of politicians, particularly concerning Trump's previous critiques of President Biden's cognitive and physical capabilities.
