Trump's Health Exam Shows Remarkable Results, Says White House Doctor
A comprehensive health assessment reveals President Trump's excellent cognitive and physical condition following an assassination attempt last year.
In what marks the first public health report since the incident, Dr. Barbabella shared insights into Trump’s health following a five-hour assessment on Friday. The examination revealed that Trump not only met the standards for robust cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, and general physical function, but also presented no signs of cognitive decline.
While undergoing tests, Trump reportedly scored a perfect 30 out of 30 on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), designed to detect early signs of mental degradation. His active lifestyle was noted as a key factor in maintaining his vitality.
The examination uncovered minor sun damage and benign skin lesions, but these were deemed non-threatening. Trump does manage several medications for cholesterol and cardiac health, and has lost weight compared to previous years.
Significantly, this report comes in the aftermath of a gunman grazing his ear with a bullet during an assassination attempt last July. Prior insights by Trump's former physician indicated that the injuries were superficial, but this latest check-up serves to reassure the public of the president's fitness to fulfill his duties as Commander-in-Chief amidst ongoing scrutiny regarding political rivals’ health assessments.
