President Donald Trump has had his annual physical exam, and his results have been made public, including his weight.
The 78-year-old commander-in-chief visited Walter Reed Army Medical Center on April 11 for a routine evaluation before jetting off to Mar-a-Lago for the weekend.
Two days later, on April 13, White House physician Sean Barbabella released the health memo revealing Trump’s current medications, weight loss, and a handful of recent procedures.
According to the memo, Trump is currently taking Rosuvastatin and Ezetimibe to control cholesterol, along with Aspirin for cardiac prevention and Mometasone cream for a skin condition.
Barbabella noted that Trump recently underwent cataract surgery in both eyes and had a benign polyp removed during a July 2024 colonoscopy.
He was also diagnosed with diverticulosis, a condition that affects the colon.
At 6-foot-3, Trump now weighs 224 pounds—down 20 pounds from his last reported weight of 244 pounds during his first term, according to the Associated Press.
The memo credited his “active lifestyle” for contributing to his overall health and added that “all recommended vaccinations are current, including travel-related immunizations.”
“President Trump remains in excellent health, exhibiting robust cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, and general physical function,” Barbabella wrote. “His days include participation in multiple meetings, public appearances, press availability, and frequent victories in golf events.”
Trump himself addressed the physical earlier in the week via Truth Social, writing: “I have never felt better, but nevertheless, these things must be done!”
Despite the glowing report, concerns about Trump’s cognitive abilities continue to linger—especially following a June 2024 assassination attempt in which he was shot in the ear.
Trump never released a formal medical report on his recovery. Instead, his campaign provided a brief memo from former White House physician and Texas Rep. Ronny Jackson, who claimed to have reviewed Trump’s medical records and “completely concurred” with the treatment he received.
Even before the attempt on his life, questions had swirled about the president’s mental sharpness.
In June 2024, Variety editor-in-chief Ramin Setoodeh said Trump repeatedly failed to remember him during six long interviews for his book Apprentice in Wonderland: How Donald Trump and Mark Burnett Took America Through the Looking Glass.
“Donald Trump had severe memory issues,” Setoodeh said on MSNBC’s Morning Joe. “As the journalist who spent the most time with him, I have to say, he couldn’t remember things. He couldn’t even remember me.”

Adding fuel to the fire, Trump’s own nephew, Fred C. Trump III, suggested the president might be following a family pattern.
Speaking to PEOPLE shortly before the 2024 election, Fred cited the Trump family’s history with dementia—particularly the decline of Donald’s father, Fred Trump Sr.
People Stunned After Hearing Trump’s ‘Real Laugh’
Recalling a 2023 encounter at Mar-a-Lago, Fred said: “He just looked disoriented. He kept repeating something to me time and time again when I had met him. He kept repeating things, and he just looked different. He looked tired.”
Fred also noted that while Trump has always had a flair for profanity, he now seems to have “no inhibitions about cursing in front of anybody” and described the president’s recent tone as “outright nastiness.”
Trump’s campaign dismissed Fred’s remarks as “completely fabricated and total fake news.”
As of now, Trump holds the title of oldest person ever inaugurated to a first term—and if he serves out this second term, he will become the oldest president in U.S. history.
