Donald Trump is speaking out after the results of his annual physical were released to the public on Friday (May 29).
The 79-year-old President of the United States went to Walter Reed Military Medical Center earlier in the week, where he underwent what the White House described as a “routine annual dental and medical assessment.”
His physician, Capt. Sean Barbabella, DO, deduced that Trump‘s hand bruising seen over the past months is “consistent with minor soft tissue irritation related to frequent handshaking in the setting of aspirin use for cardiovascular prevention.,” per People.
He is listed as 6 feet, 3 inches tall and 238 pounds, and his body mass index is close to the threshold for clinical obesity, per USA Today.
“President Trump remains in excellent health, demonstrating strong cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, and overall physical function. His demanding daily schedule, including multiple high-level meetings, public engagements, and regular physical activity, continues to support his overall well-being,” the physician said in his report.
“The results of my Physical Examination, taken at Walter Reed Military Medical Center, and just released, were extremely good,” the President boasted on Truth Social.
Trump highlighted his cognitive test results
“Unlike other U.S. Presidents, none of whom have ever taken an approved, high difficulty, Cognitive Test, I scored a perfect 30 out of 30, considered ‘extreme intelligence.’ Are the Dumocrats really surprised? In fact, this is my fourth such test, all PERFECT or, 120 correct answers out of 120 questions asked! It is very rare that anyone gets a Perfect Score, especially when achieved four times in a row. All people running for President and Vice President should be forced to take high difficulty Cognitive Tests. Congress, and the Dumocrats, should demand it! President DONALD J. TRUMP,” he wrote.
A CNN medical analyst weighed in
CNN medical analyst Dr. Jonathan Reiner reviewed the results of the physical, including the cognitive test, and weighed in about those results.
“I’ll note again that it looks like they once again tested the president with the MOCA test,” he said, referring to the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, a test used to detect signs of cognitive decline and dementia.
“That’s not really that useful when you take it over and over and over again, because the questions don’t change that much,” he went on to say.
The report also included health recommendations
The report also stated, via ABC, that “preventive counseling was provided, including guidance on diet, recommendation to take a low-dose aspirin, increased physical activity, and continued weight loss.”
Trump is taking aspirin for cardiac prevention, and Rosuvastatin and Ezetimibe for cholesterol control.
He recently ranted about the Freedom 250 concert and called for it to become a MAGA rally instead as performers pulled out.
