President Donald Trump has received a clean bill of health following his first official physical of his second term — and the results are turning heads.
On Friday, April 11, President Trump, 78, traveled to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, spending several hours undergoing a thorough medical evaluation before flying to his Mar-a-Lago resort for the weekend.
The White House released the results Sunday, April 13, in a detailed memo from Dr. Sean Barbabella, the president’s physician. The report provided insight into Trump’s current medications, recent weight loss, and overall fitness to serve.
According to Dr. Barbabella, President Trump currently takes two medications — Rosuvastatin and Ezetimibe — to maintain healthy cholesterol levels, along with a daily low-dose aspirin for cardiac protection. Trump also uses Mometasone cream as required for a minor skin condition.
Standing tall at 6-foot-3, the president now weighs 224 pounds, showing a significant drop from his 244-pound weight during his previous term in 2020. This 20-pound weight loss reflects the president’s dedication to maintaining a healthier lifestyle.
Dr. Barbabella praised Trump’s physical condition, emphasizing that the commander-in-chief remains “fully fit” to fulfill his duties. Trump’s active daily schedule, which includes numerous meetings, public appearances, and regular rounds of golf, was cited as a key factor contributing to his strong health.
The memo also confirmed that President Trump underwent cataract surgery on both eyes at an unspecified date, and in July 2024, he had a routine colonoscopy, which revealed a benign polyp and minor diverticulosis — both common findings in aging adults.
All of Trump’s vaccinations, including those for international travel, are up to date, ensuring he remains protected while representing America abroad.
“President Trump continues to enjoy robust cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, and general physical function,” Dr. Barbabella said, highlighting the president’s remarkable stamina at 78 years old.
Earlier in the week, President Trump took to Truth Social to share his enthusiasm, writing, “I have never felt better, but nonetheless, these important checkups must be done!”
After making history in January by becoming the oldest person ever inaugurated, Trump is on track to set another record by completing his second term in full health.
During his first term, Trump faced criticism for being selective about sharing medical details. After surviving an assassination attempt in July 2024 — when a bullet grazed his ear — his campaign released a memo from former White House physician Rep. Ronny Jackson, who fully endorsed the president’s medical treatment and recovery.
Despite occasional media speculation about Trump’s memory and cognition, the latest physical report shows no concerns. Some opponents, including journalist Ramin Setoodeh, have made claims about memory lapses based on interviews, but no clinical evidence supports these accusations.
Even family members like Fred C. Trump III, who spoke to PEOPLE magazine about his concerns, have been dismissed by Trump’s campaign as spreading “fake news” ahead of the heated 2024 election.
In contrast, Trump’s latest medical assessment underscores what supporters have long believed: President Trump remains sharp, strong, and more determined than ever to keep America moving forward.
