According to a report released by White House physician U.S. Navy Captain Sean Barbella on Sunday, President Donald Trump, 78, is in excellent health, with his high cholesterol well controlled. This report, the most detailed information on Trump’s health since he assumed office, states that he exhibits excellent cognitive and physical health, fully capable of carrying out his duties as Commander-in-Chief and Head of State.
Trump has a history of well-controlled high cholesterol and is taking medications to manage it. Additionally, the report mentions scarring on his right ear from a gunshot wound sustained during a campaign rally last year. Despite this, his hearing is normal. Trump’s medical history also includes a serious bout with COVID-19 in October 2020, for which he takes prescribed medications.
The report confirms that Trump is up to date on all recommended vaccines, contrary to his past statements spreading misinformation about vaccine safety. He scored a perfect 30 out of 30 on a cognitive test, the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, and his active lifestyle, including frequent golf victories, is noted as contributing to his overall health.
Overall, Barbella’s report affirms Trump’s fitness for office and highlights his commitment to maintaining good health.
