President Trump Physical Report Notes Weight Gain and Cognitive Score

The report stated the president gained 14 pounds since his April 2025 exam. It estimated his cardiac age at 14 years younger than his chronological age.

The president scored 30 out of 30 on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment. He takes rosuvastatin and ezetimibe for high cholesterol along with daily aspirin to reduce heart-attack and stroke risk. The report advised lowering the aspirin dose from 325 milligrams to about 80 milligrams. Slight lower-leg swelling was noted, with improvement from last year.

The president was diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency last summer. Scarring on his right ear was recorded as consistent with the July 2024 gunshot injury in Butler, Pennsylvania. The report attributed hand bruising to minor soft tissue irritation from frequent handshaking and aspirin therapy.

Officials stated the president has 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. The report provided guidance on diet, physical activity, and continued weight loss.

It noted that the president's demanding daily schedule, including multiple high-level meetings, public engagements, and regular physical activity, continues to support his overall well-being.

Trump will turn 80 next month.

This is his third known checkup since returning to office in 2025. A Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll released earlier this month found that 59 percent of Americans do not think Trump has the mental acuity to serve effectively and 55 percent do not believe his physical health is strong enough.

A Reuters/Ipsos poll in February found 61 percent view him as growing erratic with age, including 30 percent of Republicans. An Axios-Ipsos poll released in 2025 found more than 70 percent of Americans believe most politicians are not honest about their health, and nearly three-quarters support a legal requirement for the sitting president to release medical records.

The medical report made no mention of a skin rash on the president's neck that appeared in March. In March, officials said the rash was a side effect of a very common cream used as preventive skin treatment. Presidents are not legally required to release their medical records, which are protected by HIPAA.

The last six of Trump's predecessors released medical information. Trump refused to release medical records while on the campaign trail in 2024. In 2015, a letter declared Trump would be the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency. The letter was later said to have been dictated by Trump himself.

Trump was hospitalized with Covid-19 in 2020 at Walter Reed, where officials acknowledged they had tried to present an upbeat description of the condition.
