President Donald Trump has been deemed in “excellent health” and fully fit to serve, according to his latest medical evaluation conducted at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. The examination included a cognitive test—specifically the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA)—on which Trump reportedly achieved a perfect score of 30 out of 30.
The MoCA is a commonly used screening tool to detect early cognitive decline. A perfect score indicates no signs of impairment in memory, attention, or executive function, areas typically affected by aging or neurological conditions such as dementia. The result is likely to be seen by Trump’s supporters as a rebuttal to ongoing speculation regarding his mental sharpness as he continues his 2024 campaign activities.
The medical summary, signed by White House physician Dr. Sean P. Barbabella, also revealed details about Trump’s overall physical condition. He weighs 224 pounds and stands 6 feet 3 inches tall—placing him just below the obesity threshold on the BMI scale. His blood pressure (128/74 mmHg) and resting heart rate (62 bpm) are within healthy ranges.
Trump’s medical history, as outlined in the report, includes prior COVID-19 infection, cataract surgeries in both eyes, and a benign colon polyp discovered during a 2024 colonoscopy. He is currently on routine medications for cholesterol, cardiovascular health, and a skin condition.
The physician described Trump’s lifestyle as “active,” referencing his frequent public appearances and regular golfing as evidence of his stamina and mobility. He also noted that Trump’s vaccinations are current, a detail that may seek to counter previous criticism over the former president’s mixed messaging on vaccines.
This update is the most detailed health disclosure Trump has released since late 2023 and comes amid growing public scrutiny over the age and fitness of political candidates. Trump’s team is likely to frame the report as proof of the 78-year-old’s ability to serve another term in the White House.
As the race toward the 2024 election intensifies, Trump’s health—both mental and physical—will remain under close watch, especially as questions of cognitive readiness loom over older candidates on both sides of the aisle.
