In addition to these tests, Trump received updated vaccinations for influenza and COVID-19. Dr. Barbabella reported that Trump remains in excellent health, demonstrating strong cardiovascular, pulmonary, neurological, and physical performance. He also continues to maintain a demanding daily schedule without restrictions. This visit follows a similar check-up earlier in the year, where Trump was declared “fully fit” to serve.
Trump had a follow-up visit in July due to swelling in his lower legs, which led to a diagnosis of chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), a condition common in individuals over 70. Despite the diagnosis, Dr. Barbabella reassured the public that the president’s overall health remained excellent.
Trump’s physical exams are closely watched, especially given his age, as he is the oldest person to ever be elected president. Despite his age-related health concerns, including bruising on his hand, which has been attributed to frequent handshaking and aspirin use, Trump remains active and continues to perform his presidential duties without restrictions.
