White House Dismisses Speculation About President Trump’s Health with Medical Report
The White House shared Donald Trump’s medical report just over a month after he was seen with a large bruise on one of his hands during a high-profile meeting.
On April 11, 2025, President of the United States (POTUS) Donald Trump underwent his annual physical examination at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. The exam was conducted and overseen by Captain Sean P. Barbabella, D.O., the Physician to the President.

According to the official memorandum released by the White House on April 13, the comprehensive assessment included diagnostic tests, lab work, urinalysis, and consultations with fourteen medical specialists. The results, publicly released with Trump’s consent, indicate that he remains in excellent health.
At 78 years and 10 months old, Trump stands 75 inches tall and weighs 224 pounds. His vital signs appeared within normal ranges — his resting heart rate was measured at 62 beats per minute, blood pressure at 128/74 mmHg, and oxygen saturation at 99% on room air. His body temperature registered at 98.6°F.

The report goes on to provide a meticulous overview of the POTUS’ physical condition, noting that his visual acuity, visual fields, and intraocular pressure were all within normal limits, with a dilated eye examination confirming healthy ocular function.
Examination of his head, ears, nose, and throat revealed no major abnormalities, though the summary did acknowledge scarring on his right ear — a remnant of a past gunshot wound. His hearing was reported to be intact.

Both the thyroid and lymph nodes were recorded as normal, and vascular imaging of the carotid arteries from the previous year showed no concerning findings, rendering further testing unnecessary.
Trump’s lungs were described as clear upon examination, and a CT scan of his chest supported those findings, with no signs of pathology present.

Cardiovascular testing, which included an electrocardiogram and an echocardiogram, demonstrated a regular heart rate and rhythm, normal heart sounds, and no abnormalities in heart structure or function. His ejection fraction — a critical measure of the heart’s pumping ability — was described as healthy, with no impediments to blood circulation in the extremities.
The abdominal and gastrointestinal evaluations were similarly uneventful, with ultrasound results showing no abnormalities. However, the report did revisit the findings of a July 2024 colonoscopy, which identified both diverticulosis and a benign polyp.

While these findings were non-urgent, gastroenterology has recommended that another colonoscopy be scheduled in three years for continued surveillance. The genitourinary system was declared normal, and a musculoskeletal assessment confirmed full range of motion in his joints and muscles, with healthy blood flow and no swelling.
Neurologically, Trump underwent a battery of cognitive and functional tests, all of which returned normal results. These included the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, on which he scored a perfect 30 out of 30.

His mood and mental health were evaluated through standardized screening tools — the PHQ-9 for depression and GAD-7 for anxiety, both of which placed him firmly within the normal range.
Dermatologic tests were also conducted, which indicated minor sun damage and only a few benign lesions, with “no concerning lesions or growths” identified. Additionally, the report lists the medication Trump takes currently, such as medicine for cholesterol control, cardiac prevention, and a cream for a skin condition.
