Washington: Doctors have declared U.S. President Donald Trump in excellent health following a recent physical examination. The 79-year-old leader's personal physician released a memo through the White House, stating that even though there is slight swelling in his lower legs and a non-cancerous bruise on his hand, overall, he remains in excellent health.
According to Thai News Agency, Dr. Sean Barbabella detailed in a memo released on Friday that President Trump's heart, lung, and nervous system functions are all normal, confirming his readiness to continue his duties as Commander-in-Chief and Head of State. The examination took place at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, marking his third visit in 13 months, drawing significant public attention.
Last year, health-related concerns arose after images showed the President with swollen ankles, bruised hands, and some discoloration around his neck, prompting the White House to release detailed health updates. The latest medical records indicate improvement in the swelling of his lower legs, while the bruising on his hands, attributed to minor soft tissue irritation from frequent handshakes and aspirin use, remains consistent and harmless. However, the records do not provide details on the neck skin treatment from March or any follow-up MRI scans after last October's examination.
President Trump, who will turn 80 in June, is set to become the oldest person to hold the presidency. He frequently compares his vitality and health favorably against former President Joe Biden, who left office last year at age 82 facing similar health scrutiny. The memo also notes that Trump's overall heart function is normal, and a comprehensive neurological evaluation showed no issues, including screenings for depression and anxiety.
The memo also included details of President Trump's physical attributes, noting that he stands 190 centimeters tall and weighs 108 kilograms.
