Americans are wary after Biden’s health issues were hidden. Now we have the answers.
Because Trump’s physician released his medical records for the world to see.
Strong Health Report Released
Donald Trump’s physician has declared the former president “fully fit” to serve as commander in chief, according to a summary of Trump’s recent physical released by the White House.
Trump, now 78, was evaluated on Friday. Navy Capt. Sean Barbabella credited Trump’s “active lifestyle,” saying it “continues to contribute significantly” to the Republican frontrunner’s overall well-being. Trump is set to turn 79 on June 14.
In the doctor’s report released Sunday, Barbabella wrote that Trump is “fully fit to execute the duties of Commander-in-Chief and Head of State.”
Physical Changes and Active Routine
The results show that Trump has lost 20 pounds since his last presidential physical in 2020. At that time, he weighed 244 pounds—he is now down to 224.
The summary also noted Trump underwent cataract surgery at some point in recent years. This common procedure, typically performed on aging individuals, involves replacing a cloudy lens to improve vision.
According to Barbabella, Trump’s daily schedule includes “multiple meetings, public appearances, media availabilities and frequent victories in golf events.”
Trump is known for being an avid golfer and recently said he won tournaments played at clubs he owns in Florida.
Monitoring Vital Signs and Medications
The report included updated information on Trump’s cholesterol, which has improved over time. His total cholesterol was 223 in early 2018, dropped to 196 in 2019, stood at 167 in 2020, and is now down to 140.
Ideal total cholesterol is considered anything below 200. The improvements are attributed in part to medications rosuvastatin and ezetimibe.
Trump’s blood pressure was recorded at 128 over 74—slightly elevated but not unusual for someone his age. Elevated readings can signal risk for high blood pressure over time if not monitored.
His resting heart rate was 62 beats per minute, consistent with previous years.
For adults, a normal resting heart rate ranges between 60 and 100 beats per minute, with lower rates generally indicating better cardiovascular fitness.
Trump also continues to take aspirin, a medication commonly used to reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke.
