Trump Says Physical and Cognitive Exam Went Well, Full Results Expected Sunday

President Donald Trump, who became the oldest U.S. president in January, underwent his first physical exam of his second term on Friday at Walter Reed Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland. The 78-year-old said the checkup went well and confirmed that the full results would be released on Sunday.

Trump, who turns 79 in June and is known for his fondness for fast food, joked about his stamina and health aboard Air Force One. “It went well… every test you can imagine,” he said, adding that he also took a cognitive exam and “got every answer right.”

This is the first comprehensive look at Trump’s health since he survived an assassination attempt during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania last July. His campaign previously released a report by Rep. Ronny Jackson, his former White House doctor, stating the bullet wounds were superficial.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said medical results would be made public as soon as possible, though presidents are not required to disclose full health records. Historically, Trump has released only limited health details, while his rival Joe Biden, now 82, published extensive reports during his presidency.

In 2018, doctors declared Trump in "excellent health" but advised him to lose weight and exercise more. On Friday, when asked about any new lifestyle recommendations, Trump said there were “a little bit,” but didn’t elaborate.

The cognitive exam, reportedly the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, mirrors the one Trump took during his first term where he scored a perfect 30. Amid growing scrutiny over the mental fitness of both Trump and Biden—particularly after Biden’s widely criticized debate performance last June—Trump has continued to emphasize his mental sharpness and physical resilience.
