The White House released a memo Friday detailing the results of his Tuesday physical exam at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, in which U.S. Navy Capt. Sean Barbabella, physician to the president, said he is \u201cdemonstrating strong cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, and overall physical function.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHis demanding daily schedule, including multiple high-level meetings, public engagements, and regular physical activity, continues to support his overall well-being,\u201d the memo continued. \u201cCognitive and physical performance are excellent. He is fully fit to carry out all duties of the Commander-in-Chief and Head of State.\u201d<\/p>\n

Capt. Barbabella addressed the bruising on Mr. Trump\u2019s hand, saying it is consistent with minor soft tissue irritation due to frequent handshaking and aspirin use for cardiovascular prevention, representing a common and benign effect of aspirin therapy. He recommended a low-dose aspirin, as Mr. Trump has admitted that he takes more than recommended.<\/p>\n

Photos of noticeable bruising on his hand have also circulated since he came back to the White House for a second term. He has been photographed with makeup covering the bruise.<\/p>\n

Mr. Trump\u2019s slight lower leg swelling shows improvement from last year, Capt. Barbabella said. He was diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency last summer after being spotted with swollen ankles and legs.<\/p>\n

He also touched on the president\u2019s weight, noting preventive counseling was provided, including guidance on diet, increased physical activity and continued weight loss.<\/p>\n

At 6 feet 3 inches and 238 pounds, Mr. Trump\u2019s Body Mass Index is 29.7. This technically places him in the \u201coverweight\u201d category, sitting right below the threshold for clinical obesity, which begins at a BMI of 30.0.<\/p>\n

He gained 14 pounds since his medical exam in April 2025.<\/p>\n

He is also on two medications for cholesterol control, Capt. Barbabella noted.<\/p>\n

Mr. Trump was \u201cwithin normal limits\u201d on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, a screening tool to detect mild cognitive impairment and early signs of dementia, scoring a 30 out of 30. His cardiac age was estimated to be approximately 14 years younger than his chronological age.<\/p>\n
