The assessment carried out at a hospital near Washington, DC, marked the first official checkup of Donald Trump’s second presidential term.
According to a report released by the White House, Donald Trump has been declared in excellent physical and cognitive health following his annual physical examination. However, fans are skeptical, with many questioning the accuracy of his reported weight and overall fitness.Trump underwent a medical evaluation at the Walter Reed hospital in Bethesda, Maryland, and was found to be in strong overall condition. His doctor noted that his cardiac, neurological, pulmonary, and general physical functions were all performing well.
The examination also included a comprehensive neurological evaluation. The president reportedly showed no signs of depression or anxiety and achieved a perfect score on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, a widely used screening tool for detecting early cognitive decline.
According to the physician, Trump sustained a scar on his right ear as a result of a gunshot wound during the assassination attempt in July of the previous year. Aside from this scar, his head, ears, nose, and throat have no abnormalities. Trump’s hearing was also found to be normal.
The medical report detailed several ongoing conditions, including well-managed high cholesterol, rosacea, and a past Covid-19 infection. A benign colon polyp was also noted. Trump’s current medication regimen includes cholesterol-lowering drugs, low-dose aspirin for heart health, and a topical treatment for a skin condition.
Weighing in at 224 pounds and standing 6 feet 2.5 inches tall, the president was noted to have joints and muscles with a full range of motion, according to the report.
While Trump has long been known for his preference for fast food and a non-traditional approach to fitness, the memo attributed part of his good health to regular participation in golf, adding that he has “frequent victories in golf events.”
The physician concluded that the president remains in top shape, with no abnormalities detected in his heart, and is capable of fulfilling the responsibilities of his role.

The health report sparked a wave of reactions online, with fans weighing in with skepticism and personal comparisons. One person raised concerns about the math not adding up, “Somethings wrong – his height over estimated or his weight underestimated. He looks like a BMI of 32 or above, the measurements make him 28. Publish the truth or don’t bother. [sic]”
Someone tried to make sense of the results, noting, “How can he be 6’3″ and 224? He weighs more than 224.” Another commenter agreed, “Absolutely no way 😂 I’m 5’11 and at my heaviest I was 225 still nowhere near Trump’s size.”
Someone with similar opinions wrote, “Good, but c’mon, no way he’s 224 lbs.” Another person was straightforward, saying, “That man is not 224 lbs.” One individual couldn’t help but be stunned by the report, “78 years old, fast food diet, zero exercise… and still perfectly healthy.”
Among the mix of comments, one person gave credit where it’s due, “Impressive results. Say what you will, but energy and mental acuity at that level is not easy to maintain. Staying sharp under pressure is a real skill.”
Another person with similar views penned, “Say what you will about Trump, but a clean bill of health at that level of pressure? That’s no small thing. Leading a nation takes stamina physical and mental.”
