Trump Declared in Excellent Health as President

Donald Trump, at 78, has been declared in 'excellent health' following his first annual medical examination since returning to the US presidency, according to White House physician Navy Capt. Sean Barbabella. The report highlighted Trump's weight loss of 20 pounds since 2020, crediting his 'active lifestyle' and frequent golfing for his improved health indicators. His cognitive and physical fitness were praised, with Trump passing a cognitive test and maintaining a robust cardiac, pulmonary, and neurological state. The exam also noted minor issues, including a scar from a gunshot wound due to an assassination attempt in July 2024 and previous cataract surgeries. Trump, who takes medications for cholesterol and a skin condition, has been vocal about his health, often comparing it to that of his Democratic rival, Joe Biden. Despite some scrutiny over his tariff policies, Trump's health remains a focal point as he continues his presidency.
