President Trump's personal physician, Captain Sean P. Barbabella, issued a three-page memo on Friday concerning the health of President Donald Trump. On May 26, President Trump visited Walter Reed Medical Center for a routine physical workup ahead of his June 14th birthday.
"President Trump remains in excellent health... Cognitive and physical performance are excellent. He is fully fit to carry out all duties of the Commander-in-Chief and Head of State."

Among the usual labs (all within normal range) and his current medications for cholesterol control and heart maintenance (aspirin), Capt. Barbabella wants the president to get more physical activity, and to continue to work on losing weight.
The President remains up to date on all appropriate preventative screenings and immunizations. Routine cancer screenings, cardiovascular risk assessment, and metabolic evaluations are current and within recommended intervals. Preventative counseling was provided, including guidance on diet, recommentation to take a low-dose aspirin, increased physical activity, and continued weight loss.
Capt. Barbabella summarized the three-page report thusly:
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 duties of the Commander-in-Chief and Head of State.

The American people have a unique benefit that they have not had with past presidents: they get to see President Trump in action, on a continual basis. This is not like past administrations with their carefully curated exercise sessions (think George W. Bush and his bike rides), handshake images, or in former President Joe Biden's case, selected press with cheat card questions and weekday lids at 9:00 AM.
From Trump's impromptu press briefings on the tarmac of Joint Base Andrews and aboard Air Force One, to cabinet meetings and executive order signings, to rallies and public speaking events, next to Theodore Roosevelt this is probably one the most accessible presidents in the history of the United States, and for certain the most videoed and documented. So, we see with our own eyes that President Trump is fit, competent, alert, and raring to go, as he executes the job of President of the United States. For a man about to celebrate 80 years, that's nothing to sneeze at.

Americans also saw with their our eyes former President Biden's severe decline over the four years that he was in office. As if on cue, that same brain trust who foisted Dementia Joe on us and gaslit the American people that he was "sharp as a tack," now want to weigh in on the state of Trump's health and his physician's report.
The Daily Beast is having a normal one, throwing shade with their declaration that the president "appears to have achieved something close to biological perfection." Then declaring in the article that the physician's report is "doctored." The unflattering picture of Trump taking a bite of something drives home their mockery.
And, notice the heavy lifting of "finally" and "long-awaited." The visit was on Tuesday, and the report was released on Friday. Hyperbole much?
The White House finally released Trump’s long-awaited medical report late Friday night, and the 79-year-old president appears to have achieved something close to biological perfection.

Then there is this delusional take. We have HIPAA laws for a reason, but that doesn't seem to penetrate this genius X user's thinking.
In order to believe any health report about Donald Trump, we would have to see the medical tests administered live on television. And the doctor would have to be a legitimate doctor — not a doctor elected to Congress as a Republican. https://t.co/ITkItcj9Ts

The self-described "political junkie" and "amateur historian" thinks he's mocking Trump, but he doesn't understand this administration. A public physical exam may well be in the president's plans, if Chief of Staff Susie Wiles cannot talk him out of it. Should that happen and it backfires in their faces, this bunch will once again have something else to cry about.
Editor’s Note: The 2026 Midterms will determine the fate of President Trump’s America First agenda. Republicans must maintain control of both chambers of Congress.
