President Trump ‘Remains in Excellent Health,’ Says White House Physician
Despite ongoing scrutiny and speculation about his age and lifestyle, former President Donald Trump “remains in excellent health,” according to a recent statement by his physician. The update, released by the White House physician’s office, is part of the routine checkups given to former presidents who remain in the public eye and are actively engaged in political activities.
At 78 years old, Trump is once again making headlines with a potential run for office, making his health a subject of public interest. The physician’s report, while brief, confidently states that Trump is in “excellent physical and cognitive condition,” with no major concerns raised during his most recent evaluation.
“President Trump maintains a healthy lifestyle, remains physically active, and has no significant medical issues,” the statement reads. “His cardiovascular system, cognitive functions, and overall fitness remain stable and strong for a man of his age.”
This is not the first time Trump’s health has been described in glowing terms by his medical team. During his time in office, Trump’s doctors often characterized his condition in near-superlative language, even famously declaring he had “incredible genes” and would likely live to be 200 years old “if he just ate better.” While some critics mocked such assessments as over-the-top, others accepted them as confidence-boosting messages aimed at supporters.
Trump’s daily habits have long been a subject of public fascination. Known for his fondness for fast food—particularly McDonald’s and Diet Coke—Trump has also claimed he avoids alcohol and smoking. Despite this, he reportedly keeps a relatively stable weight and is said to have maintained an active schedule throughout his post-presidency.
His medical evaluations have always included standard tests, such as cholesterol levels, blood pressure, heart rate, and cognitive screenings. According to the latest report, Trump passed all assessments without any abnormalities. The physician added that Trump continues to receive “routine preventive care” and is up to date on all recommended screenings.
The timing of the update has not gone unnoticed. With Trump regularly appearing at rallies, participating in interviews, and teasing his campaign plans for 2024 and beyond, maintaining an image of robust health is crucial. In contrast to concerns raised about the health of other aging politicians, Trump’s team appears determined to show that he remains as vigorous and mentally sharp as ever.
However, not everyone is convinced. Critics argue that the physician’s statements lack sufficient transparency and fail to provide detailed metrics like weight, cholesterol levels, or specific test results. “Saying someone is in ‘excellent health’ without any data is meaningless,” one political commentator noted.
Still, Trump’s base appears undeterred. Supporters regularly cheer his energetic appearances and long speeches, pointing to them as proof that he has the stamina and sharpness to serve again. And with his physician giving the green light, the former president seems ready to keep charging forward—one rally, headline, and possible campaign stop at a time.
