Trump to undergo routine medical exam as he nears 80

Donald Trump will turn 80 on June 14, 2026, and the closer he gets to that milestone, the more his annual medical readouts become a test of what the White House will disclose and what it will not. His last publicly released physical, on April 11, 2025 at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, offered a detailed snapshot: he was 78 years and 10 months old, 6 feet 3 inches tall, weighed 224 pounds, had blood pressure of 128/74 mmHg and a resting heart rate of 62 beats per minute.

White House physician Capt. Sean P. Barbabella said the exam included diagnostic and laboratory testing, consultations with 14 specialty consultants and a review of preventive-care recommendations. The memo said Trump scored 30 out of 30 on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, a result that drew attention because age and mental sharpness remain central political questions for a president who returned to office in 2025 as the oldest person ever sworn in as U.S. president.

The readout also pointed to injuries and past procedures that the public would not otherwise see. It noted scarring on Trump’s right ear from the gunshot wound he sustained in the July 2024 assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania. It said his hearing was normal, his cardiovascular and neurological findings were normal, and it listed minor sun damage. A July 2024 colonoscopy found diverticulosis and a benign polyp, with another colonoscopy recommended in three years. The memo added that Trump had normal depression and anxiety screenings and that his cholesterol was being managed with medication.

A later memo dated October 10, 2025 said Trump completed a scheduled follow-up evaluation at Walter Reed, received preventive screenings and vaccinations and continued to demonstrate excellent overall health. That memo added another detail that is easy to repeat and hard to independently assess: his “cardiac age” was about 14 years younger than his chronological age.

Those disclosures offer more than presidents once routinely revealed, but they still leave major gaps. The public can see basic vitals, a cognitive test score, select exam findings and some screening results. It cannot see the full clinical picture, the reasoning behind medical judgments or the day-to-day realities of a president’s health over time. Compared with the sparse disclosures that often surrounded Trump’s earlier campaigns and the heavily scrutinized health messaging around Joe Biden, the 2025 and 2025 follow-up memos provided more detail. They still stopped well short of a full medical record, which is why every presidential exam becomes both a health report and a political document.
