Those conditions stem from his chronic venous insufficiency diagnosis last July.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the latest presidential physical, Trump routinely underwent several assessments, including cognitive, cardiac, pulmonary, and dermatologic exams. Barbabella cleared him on all the different tests, but he made some notable comments.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The doctor noted the \u201cslight lower leg swelling\u201d has improved since last year and determined his bruised hands are \u201crelated to frequent handshaking.\u201d Trump takes aspirin to maintain his cardiovascular health, causing his skin to be easily irritated.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bruising, formally known as ecchymosis, \u201crepresents a common and benign effect of aspirin therapy,\u201d Barbabella said. \u201cNo suspicious lesions or concerning growths identified.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When examining his cardiac health, the White House physician said Trump\u2019s cardiac age is \u201capproximately 14 years younger than his chronological age.\u201d The president turns 80 on June 14.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the head examination, Barbabella said the results were normal, \u201cexcept for scarring of the right ear consistent with prior gunshot injury.\u201d The note references Trump\u2019s gunshot wound during the July 2024 assassination attempt in Butler, <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/pennsylvania\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"629\">Pennsylvania<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The findings were not very different from the last two medical reports, though Trump has gained 14 pounds since April 2025. He weighs 238 pounds and has a resting heart rate of 73 beats per minute.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Barbabella reported that \u201cpreventive counseling was provided, including guidance on diet, recommendation to take a low-dose aspirin, increased physical activity, and continued weight loss.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/4579262\/trump-health-scrutiny-biden-decline\/\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/4579262\/trump-health-scrutiny-biden-decline\/\">TRUMP HEALTH SCRUTINY SHAPED BY FALLOUT FROM BIDEN DECLINE<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As for his cognitive health, Trump scored a 30 out of 30 on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, which is used to detect signs of dementia or cognitive decline.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Biden declined to undergo the cognitive exam in 2024.
