Trump’s physician says the president is in 'excellent health' - the biggest reactions

According to Donald Trump’s physician, the president is in “excellent health” and is “fully fit” to serve as president. It comes after a medical exam Tuesday (May 26) at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.

The president weighed in at 238 pounds (108 kilograms), up 14 pounds (6 kg) from a medical exam in April 2025. His doctors gave him guidance on his diet, physical activity and weight loss, but concluded his “cognitive and physical performance are excellent.”

Barbabella wrote: "His demanding daily schedule, including multiple high-level meetings, public engagements and regular physical activity continues to support his overall well-being.

The report also mentioned Trump’s bruised hands as being "consistent with minor soft tissue irritation related to frequent handshaking" while he was taking aspirin for "cardiovascular prevention".

The news sparked a lot of reaction on social media

Journalist Jim Acosta wrote: "Just imagine what these goofballs would be saying, if Joe Biden had released his health info at 11pm on a Friday night…"

Commentator Molly Ploofkins write: "The White House finally released Trump’s long-awaited medical report late Friday night, and the 79-year-old president appears to have achieved something close to biological perfection."

Commentator Harris Sisson wrote: "If you believe Trump is in "excellent health" then I have a bridge to sell you."

Sisson added: "Trump’s medical report makes no mention of him falling asleep in meetings daily but says he’s in ‘excellent’ health.

"Sounds like it was written by Trump!"
