US President Donald Trump completed a physical examination on May 26, 2026, at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. The White House released a memo May 29 confirming Trump is in excellent health with strong cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, and overall physical function [1, 2, 3, 4].
White House physician Dr. Sean Barbabella said, "President Trump remains in excellent health, demonstrating strong cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, and overall physical function" and is "fully fit to carry out all duties of the Commander-in-Chief and Head of State" [1, 2]. Trump himself said "everything checked out perfectly" [1].
At 79 years old, Trump stands 6 feet 3 inches tall and weighs 238 pounds. His blood pressure was 105/71 mm Hg with a resting heart rate of 73 bpm. Cholesterol levels were within normal range, at 143 mg/dL total cholesterol [1, 2, 5].
Trump’s cognitive testing showed a perfect 30 out of 30 score on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, indicating no cognitive impairment [3, 6, 5]. AI-enhanced ECG analysis estimated his heart age at 65, 14 years younger than his actual age [3, 6, 5].
He has mild chronic venous insufficiency causing slight lower leg swelling, though it has improved compared to last year. Trump had attempted to use compression stockings but discontinued them due to discomfort [3, 6]. The White House noted Trump’s hand bruising is benign and related to frequent handshakes combined with aspirin use for cardiovascular prevention [1, 2, 3].
Physicians recommended Trump continue weight loss efforts, improve his diet, increase physical activity, and maintain low-dose aspirin use [1, 2, 3]. Trump takes medications including rosuvastatin, ezetimibe, and low-dose aspirin. He has no history of smoking or alcohol use [5].
Additional tests on his eyes, ears, throat, thyroid, lungs, abdomen, urinary-genital, and neurological systems were all normal. Neurological screening showed no signs of depression or anxiety [2, 5].
Trump’s 80th birthday will be June 14, 2026, less than two weeks from today [7, 2, 4].
