The White House physician has assessed that U.S. President Trump is in “excellent health,” but has advised the 79-year-old to lose some weight.
According to AFP, White House Chief Physician Dr. Barba-Barrera issued a memorandum on the evening of the 29th stating: “President Trump's body continues to remain in top condition, with his heart, lungs, nervous system, and overall physical functions all performing well.”
“We have provided him with preventive counseling, including dietary guidance, a recommendation to take a low dose of aspirin, increased physical activity, and continued weight loss.”
Barba-Barrera said that Trump is “fully capable of carrying out all duties as Commander-in-Chief and Head of State.”
On May 26, Trump underwent a physical examination at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. This was his fourth publicly disclosed physical exam since returning to the White House last year, and the third time he has had a dental checkup. Most Americans have only two dental checkups a year. He underwent three physical examinations last year.
