Trump’s Latest Physical Exam Raises Eyebrows — One Detail Confirms What Many Have Suspected All Along

President Donald Trump has been given a clean bill of health following his first official physical exam of his second term — but it’s not just the results that have people talking.
On Friday, April 11, the 78-year-old commander-in-chief visited Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, where he spent several hours undergoing a comprehensive medical evaluation. Shortly after, he was seen heading to his Mar-a-Lago estate for the weekend — but not before one small detail from his check-up began fueling speculation and chatter across political circles and the media.
The White House released the official exam results on Sunday, April 13, in a detailed memo authored by Dr. Sean Barbabella, President Trump’s physician. The report offered a closer look at Trump’s current health status, including his medications, notable weight loss, and overall fitness to lead.
According to Dr. Barbabella, the president is currently prescribed two medications — Rosuvastatin and Ezetimibe — to support healthy cholesterol levels, along with a low-dose aspirin taken daily as a preventative measure for heart health. He also uses Mometasone cream as needed to treat a minor skin condition.
Standing at 6 feet 3 inches, President Trump now weighs in at 224 pounds — down 20 pounds from the 244 pounds recorded during his previous term in 2020. The noticeable weight loss signals what many are calling a renewed commitment to his health and well-being as he embarks on his second term.
Standing tall at 6-foot-3 and now weighing 224 pounds, President Trump has shed a noticeable 20 pounds since his last physical in 2020 — a transformation that reflects his renewed commitment to healthier living as he enters his second term.
Dr. Sean Barbabella, the president’s physician, praised Trump’s current condition in the official White House memo, declaring the 78-year-old leader “fully fit” to execute the duties of his office. He credited Trump’s demanding daily routine — packed with high-level meetings, public engagements, and frequent rounds of golf — as a major contributor to his sustained stamina and overall health.
The report also revealed that Trump quietly underwent cataract surgery in both eyes, though the date was not specified. Additionally, a routine colonoscopy in July 2024 uncovered a benign polyp and minor diverticulosis — both common findings for someone his age and not considered a health concern.
Trump’s vaccination records, including those required for international travel, are fully up to date, ensuring the president is protected as he continues to represent the United States on the world stage.
“President Trump continues to enjoy robust cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, and general physical function,” Dr. Barbabella noted, underscoring the president’s impressive physical resilience as he nears 80.
In a characteristically upbeat post on Truth Social earlier in the week, Trump wrote, “I have never felt better, but nonetheless, these important checkups must be done!”
After making history in January as the oldest person ever inaugurated, President Trump appears poised to set yet another milestone — completing a second term in office while maintaining full health.
While Trump has at times faced scrutiny for being selective about releasing medical details during his first term, his recent transparency stands in contrast. Following a dramatic assassination attempt in July 2024 — when a bullet grazed his ear during a campaign rally — Trump’s team quickly released a memo from former White House physician and current Congressman Ronny Jackson, who confidently affirmed the president’s treatment and full recovery.
Although some media outlets and critics have raised questions about Trump’s memory and cognitive sharpness, the latest physical exam offers no clinical evidence of concern. Notably, journalist Ramin Setoodeh cited possible memory lapses in interviews for an upcoming book — but Dr. Barbabella’s report makes it clear: there are no signs of cognitive decline.
As Trump moves forward in his second term, the physical results not only affirm his fitness but also fuel his narrative of resilience, defying both age and adversity with characteristic determination.
Even some members of Trump’s extended family, such as Fred C. Trump III, voiced concerns in interviews — including one with PEOPLE magazine — but the campaign quickly dismissed these remarks as “fake news,” accusing critics of politicizing the president’s health in the lead-up to the fiercely contested 2024 election.
In stark contrast, the results of Trump’s latest medical exam paint a clear picture — and it’s one that his supporters have long championed: President Trump remains mentally sharp, physically strong, and more determined than ever to lead the nation forward.
