Results of Donald Trump’s Annual Physical Examination Released by White House
The White House has officially released the results of former President Donald Trump’s annual physical examination, offering a detailed look at the 78-year-old Republican frontrunner’s health as he charges forward in his 2024 presidential campaign. Conducted by White House physician Dr. Bruce Arnold, the report describes Trump as being in “excellent health” and “fit to serve” despite his age.
According to the report, Trump’s vital signs—including blood pressure, heart rate, temperature, and oxygen levels—are all within normal ranges. Dr. Arnold noted that Trump exhibits no signs of heart disease or neurological decline and continues to respond well to his cholesterol medication, a statin he has been taking for years. The report also noted that Trump’s cardiac function is “strong,” with no evidence of arrhythmia or artery blockages.
The former president’s weight was listed at 244 pounds, with a height of 6’3”, placing him in the “overweight” category based on body mass index (BMI) standards. However, the doctor emphasized that Trump remains active and exhibits no physical limitations that would prevent him from performing the duties of the presidency.
In addition to the standard physical tests, Trump underwent cognitive screening, a point of focus given ongoing debates about the mental acuity of aging presidential candidates. Dr. Arnold reported that Trump “scored above average for his age group” and shows no signs of cognitive impairment. “His memory, language, attention, and executive functioning remain intact,” the report stated.
The exam also included lab work, vision and hearing tests, and a colonoscopy. No abnormalities were reported. Trump’s prostate health was said to be “unremarkable,” and his liver and kidney functions were described as “normal and stable.”
Shortly after the report’s release, Trump’s campaign issued a statement doubling down on the results. “President Trump is in excellent health and has the strength, stamina, and sharpness to lead our country once again,” it read. Trump himself posted on Truth Social: “Feeling stronger than ever. Ready to finish what we started!”
However, critics have raised questions about the neutrality of the report. While Dr. Arnold is a respected physician, some argue that the White House medical team has historically provided vague or overly positive assessments of Trump’s health. Still, this year’s report included more specific data and a detailed breakdown of test results than previous releases, a move that some say adds credibility.
Supporters have pointed to the clean bill of health as further proof that Trump has the energy and capacity to campaign at full speed and govern effectively. Others, however, remain skeptical, especially given Trump’s age and the stress associated with presidential duties.
As the 2024 race intensifies, Trump’s health will remain a key topic in public discourse. For now, though, this latest report paints a picture of a former president who, despite his age and polarizing presence, remains physically and mentally ready to return to the White House.
