President Donald Trump remains in “excellent health,” his physician said in a memo released Friday following the president’s annual physical earlier this week.
The report came after Trump underwent his annual examination Tuesday at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.
“President Donald Trump remains in excellent health, demonstrating strong cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, and overall physical function,” Navy Capt. Sean P. Barbabella, the president’s physician, wrote in the memo.
“His demanding daily schedule, including multiple high-level meetings, public engagements and regular physical activity, continues to support his overall well-being,” Barbabella continued. “Cognitive and physical performance are excellent.”

Barbabella also noted bruising on the president’s hand “consistent with minor soft tissue irritation related to frequent handshaking in the setting of aspirin use for cardiovascular prevention.”
The physician reported no significant abnormalities in Trump’s laboratory results.
Trump’s “lifelong abstinence from tobacco and alcohol” was also highlighted in his medical history.
According to the memo, Trump currently takes three medications: Rosuvastatin and Ezetimibe for cholesterol management, along with aspirin for cardiovascular prevention.
