**Trump's Health Report: Robust Assessments Amid Controversy**

**The latest medical assessments reveal President Trump's impressive cognitive and physical condition, a stark contrast to previous health discussions surrounding political figures.**

 
US President Donald Trump has been declared to be in "excellent cognitive and physical health" according to a report from his White House physician, Captain Sean Barbabella. This assessment follows Trump's annual medical examination conducted at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, which involved comprehensive testing, including blood tests, ultrasounds, and a cardiac evaluation. Barbabella's memo, released to the public, emphasized Trump's robust health, including sound cardiac, pulmonary, and neurological functions.

At the age of 78, Trump remains the oldest sitting US president, but he faced scrutiny over his health during his administration, often compared unfavorably against now 82-year-old former President Joe Biden. Notably, despite an assassination attempt last July that left scarring on his ear, the report asserts that Trump is fit to continue his role as Commander-in-Chief.

The physical examination lasted nearly five hours on Friday, with no signs of cognitive decline detected. Trump scored a perfect 30 on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, a standard neurological test designed to identify early indicators of dementia. Trump confidently told reporters aboard Air Force One that he correctly answered all cognitive questions presented in the evaluation.

The physician noted that despite minor skin issues, including sun damage and benign lesions, Trump's active lifestyle—highlighted by his successes in golfing—has contributed significantly to his overall well-being. He currently manages his health with medications for cholesterol and a skin condition, and his weight has decreased slightly since early 2019.

While previous health evaluations have hinted at Trump's need for lifestyle adjustments to combat weight and exercise concerns, the latest memo has become a focal point of public interest amid ongoing debates regarding the health of political leaders. The examination results are particularly timely as they follow Trump's vehement critiques of Biden's cognitive and physical abilities during the campaign trail.
