Navy Capt. Sean Barbabella, his doctor, proclaimed Donald Trump is "fully fit" to carry out the duties of his office. The full medical report is available.

President Donald Trump said he underwent and passed a cognitive exam during a roughly four-hour physical exam conducted on Friday by his physician. 鈥淚 took a cognitive test and I don鈥檛 know what to tell you other than I got every answer right,鈥 Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One en route to Florida. (Sullivan and Wingrove, 4/12)

Donald Trump鈥檚 doctor says the oldest man elected president is 鈥渇ully fit鈥 to serve as commander in chief as the White House released results Sunday of Trump鈥檚 recent physical exam. The 78-year-old Trump is 20 pounds lighter since his checkup as president in 2020 showed him bordering on obesity. His physician, Navy Capt. Sean Barbabella, cited an 鈥渁ctive lifestyle鈥 that 鈥漜ontinues to contribute significantly鈥 to the Republican president鈥檚 well-being. Trump turns 79 on June 14. (Superville, 4/14)

From scarring to his right ear due to a gunshot wound 鈥 confirming July鈥檚 assassination attempt 鈥 to a 62 beats-per-minute resting heart rate that could be attributed to his 鈥渇requent victories in golf events鈥, here are the results of Trump鈥檚 2025 physical exam. (Gossling, 4/14)
