Medical check at the President
Trump certifies “excellent health”
In the United States, it is common for presidents to provide regular information about their health. Trump also had to be checked again. His doctor praises the “active lifestyle” of the 78-year-old.
US President Donald Trump is very healthy. “President Trump is still enjoying excellent health,” said the doctor Sean Barbabella. “His active lifestyle continues to contribute significantly to his well -being.” The 78-year-old is therefore “fully able” to perform his tasks as president. Trump takes part in numerous meetings, public appearances, press appointments and also often in golf tournaments.
The Republican had undergone a routine medical examination in the Walter Reed military hospital near the US capital Washington on Friday. According to the health report, it is around 1.90 meters tall and weighs about 102 kilograms.
30 out of 30 points in cognitive test
The examination therefore showed no abnormalities in the heart or lungs. Neurological and cognitive tests were also inconspicuous. Trump completed a procedure for early detection of cognitive restrictions with 30 out of 30 points. In the test, the patient must recognize drawn animals such as a lion or a camel or trace a cube. There are also tasks that check the ability to concentrate, memory and abstract thinking.
According to the report, the Republican’s skin showed slight sun damage and some harmless skin changes. According to his doctor, Trump is fully vaccinated and avoided tobacco and alcohol throughout his life.
Trump is considered an enthusiastic golfer and has several golf clubs in the USA and abroad. He usually spends his weekends in his estate Mar-A-Lago in the state of Florida, where he pursues his hobby in the nearby Trump International Golf Club. However, according to media reports, the President also likes to use Fast Food – Burger, according to his environment, are regularly on the menu.
Trump wants to delimit bids
It is one of the peculiarities of US politics that presidents regularly provide public information about their state of health-not because it would be prescribed by law, but because it has developed into a ritual over the years that hardly any incumbent can escape.
Trump had previously been satisfied with the result of the health check and emphasized that he wanted to differentiate himself from his predecessor Joe Biden, who had refused to take a cognitive test.
Especially at biden, the health checks had attracted some attention every time, since there was great doubts about the mental fitness of the Democrat at the end of his term. For this reason, Biden withdrew from the race for a second term only months before the presidential election in 2024. The Democrat had entered the history of the United States in 2021 at the age of 78 as the oldest president.
Donald Trump exceeded this age record when he returned to office in January – also at 78, but a few months older than bidges to take office. Trump turns 79 in June. In the past, the Republican described himself as a “mentally very stable genius”.
