Trump is the oldest man elected to office. All eyes are on his health.
And now the White House released a Trump health update that left jaws on the ground.
Trump’s Robust Vitality Shines Through Routine Checkup
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt affirmed Wednesday that President Donald Trump “remains in exceptional physical health” amid passing whispers of concern in recent months, including his proactive MRI scan in October.
Dispelling Rumors with Full Transparency
“As stated in the memo provided on October 10th, President Trump received advanced imaging at Walter Reed Medical Center as part of his routine physical examination,” Leavitt explained during Wednesday’s briefing.
“The full results were reviewed by attending radiologists and consultants, and all agreed that President Trump remains in exceptional physical health.” This came in response to a reporter’s query about the MRI during Trump’s October visit to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Maryland.
“I got an MRI, it was perfect,” Trump had shared with reporters aboard Air Force One that month.
“I gave you the full results,” he added. “We had an MRI, and the machine, you know, the whole thing, and it was perfect.” The administration has consistently framed the checkup as standard procedure, with Trump’s physician confirming his “exceptional health.”
Earlier 2025 speculation, fueled by media snapshots of swollen legs at the July FIFA Club World Cup final in New Jersey and hand bruises that same month, has been thoroughly debunked—highlighting how outlets often amplify minor details while ignoring the president’s unyielding energy.
Proven Resilience and Proactive Care
Leavitt addressed the July images head-on, noting in a health memo that the leg swelling reflected a “benign and common condition” typical for those over 70, and the hand marks stemmed from “frequent handshaking and the use of aspirin.”
Navy Capt. Sean P. Barbabella, Trump’s physician, detailed in an October memo to Leavitt that the exam formed part of a comprehensive health strategy, featuring “advanced imaging, laboratory testing and preventative health assessments conducted by multidisciplinary team of specialists.”
Barbabella’s assessment praised Trump for “remains in exceptional health, exhibiting strong cardiovascular, pulmonary, neurological, and physical performance.”
This marked Trump’s second 2025 evaluation, after an April one where Barbabella declared him in “excellent health”—a testament to the disciplined approach keeping our commander-in-chief at peak form.
Leavitt wrapped up by teasing Trump’s evening dinner, potentially open to press, adding, “I know all of you will see with your own eyes later this evening when he opens up his dinner to the press, and perhaps you will see him when he signs the bill to reopen the federal government,” she said. “So stay tuned on plans for that.”
