President Trump underwent the first annual physical of his second term Friday at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center and he received an overall healthy report, which was released on Sunday.

“President Trump remains in excellent health, exhibiting robust cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, and general physical function. His active lifestyle continues to contribute significantly to his well-being,” said Capt. Sean Barbabella, physician to the president.

“President Trump’s days include participation in multiple meetings, public appearances, press availability, and frequent victories in golf events. President Trump exhibits excellent cognitive and physical health and is fully fit to execute the duties of the Commander-in-Chief and Head of State,” he added.

Prior to the exam on Monday, Trump posted on his Truth Social platform, saying, “I have never felt better, but nevertheless, these things must be done!”

Trump, 78, the oldest president to start a second term, follows former President Joe Biden, who took office at the same age.

In past annual physicals, which are customary for presidents, Trump has received healthy reports.

During the 2024 campaign, Trump often brought up the issue of cognition, including at a rally in October 2024 where he told the crowd, “We should have cognitive tests for anybody that runs for president and vice president.”

Following a particularly rough debate performance in June 2024, Biden declined a cognitive test.
