Trump's health: Weighs 108kg, heart age 14 years younger, hands bruised from frequent handshakes – Doctor

THE White House issued a medical expert memorandum yesterday, stating that US President Donald Trump was in 'excellent health' following his annual physical examination on May 26 at Walter Reed National Military Medical Centre, Bernama-Anadolu Agency reported.

The memo, signed by the president's doctor, Captain Sean Barbabella, claimed that Trump's heart age was about 14 years younger than his chronological age of 79, based on an analysis of his electrocardiograms enhanced with artificial intelligence (AI).

The memo also said that Trump scored a perfect 30 out of 30 on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, a standard screening tool for cognitive impairment, while his neurological examination showed no abnormalities.

In a striking finding, the memo attributed bruises seen on Trump's hands to 'frequent handshakes, describing them as 'a common and harmless side effect of aspirin therapy.'

According to the memo, Trump weighs 238 pounds (about 108 kilograms) and stated that he takes two cholesterol-controlling drugs along with aspirin to prevent heart disease.

"President Trump remains in excellent health," the memo added, declaring him 'fully fit to carry out all duties of Commander-in-Chief and Head of State.' – May 30, 2026
