President Donald Trump underwent his annual physical examination Friday at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, marking his first such exam during his second term as the 47th U.S. President.
The White House released the results on Sunday, April 13, 2025, stating that Trump is in "excellent cognitive and physical health" and "fully fit to execute the duties of the Commander-in-Chief and Head of State," according to Capt. Sean P. Barbabella, D.O., MC, USN, Physician to the President.
The exam, which lasted nearly five hours, involved extensive testing, with Trump describing it as including "every test you can imagine." He told reporters on Air Force One afterward that he felt "in very good shape," highlighting a "good heart" and "very good soul." Trump also noted he took a cognitive test, claiming he "got every answer right."
According to the health memo, Trump is on two medications for cholesterol control (Rosuvastatin and Ezetimibe), taking Aspirin for cardiac prevention and he also uses Mometasone cream as needed for a skin condition. As for his weight, the 6-foot-3 politician weighs 224 lbs. During his last physical as president in 2020, he weighed 244 lbs., per the Associated Press.
Trump, who at 78 is the oldest president sworn into office, has faced scrutiny over his health, particularly after an assassination attempt in July 2024 that resulted in a minor ear injury. The White House emphasized transparency, with Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stating the administration aimed to provide an update post-exam, contrasting with what they called a lack of openness from the prior administration. Doctors reportedly offered Trump "a little bit" of health advice, though no specifics were shared.
