The article notes that fitness and health have drawn attention as Trump approaches age 80, but his record across the past decade includes several periods of generally favorable results despite major events.<\/p>\n<p>It lays out a health timeline:  <\/p>\n<p>&#8211; **Jan 2018 (first presidential physical):** Described as overall \u201cexcellent,\u201d with advice to improve diet, exercise, and weight; normal cardiac findings and elevated cholesterol treated with increased medication; cognitive testing scored **30\/30** on a dementia-screening assessment.  <\/p>\n<p>&#8211; **feb 2019:** White House physicians said he was in \u201cvery good health,\u201d with no major organ-system abnormalities reported and cholesterol improved, but his weight increased and his **BMI fell into the \u201cmedically obese\u201d range**.  <\/p>\n<p>&#8211; **Apr 2020 (COVID era):** A physical reported him as healthy and fit, with no major changes at the time; hydroxychloroquine was used as a preventive measure, and he initially tested negative. He later required hospitalization after testing positive in **oct 2020**.  <\/p>\n<p>&#8211; **Jul 2024 (assassination attempt):** After surviving a gunshot injury, physicians described the outcome as miraculous; later reporting referenced scarring consistent with the wound as he recovered from complications like swelling and bleeding.  <\/p>\n<p>&#8211; **Apr 2025 (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/white-house-pressed-on-whether-trump-would-back-the-dignity-act\/\" title=\"... pressed on whether Trump would back the Dignity Act\">chronic venous insufficiency<\/a>):** Another report stated \u201cexcellent\u201d cognitive and physical health and fitness for duty; his weight and resting heart rate were noted to be improved in that period. Later, follow-up interaction referenced **chronic venous insufficiency**, affecting leg blood vessels, alongside visible symptoms such as swollen legs and bruising attributed to aspirin use.<\/p>\n<p>the piece argues that repeated medical assessments-often stating strong physical function and no cognitive decline-have continued alongside intermittent health issues and major life events.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The latest <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trumps-medical-report-released-by-white-house-after-visit-to-walter-reed\/\" title=\"Trump&#039;s medical report released by ... after ... to ...\">medical report released<\/a> by the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/white-house\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"8767\">White House<\/a> says President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"4\">Donald Trump<\/a> is in \u201cexcellent health\u201d again, a common trend seen throughout his two terms.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After Trump visited the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center this week, Dr. Sean Barbabella <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/documents\/92d39277-a383-42cc-86f7-5ff70b677778.pdf\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/documents\/92d39277-a383-42cc-86f7-5ff70b677778.pdf\">said<\/a> he has \u201cstrong cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, and overall physical function\u201d and concluded the 79-year-old president is \u201cfully fit\u201d to serve.

Jackson, who was later elected to the House as a Texas Republican, reported normal cardiac levels but increased the medication dosage to treat the president\u2019s elevated cholesterol.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Regarding his cognitive health, Trump scored a perfect 30\/30 score on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment. The screening test is used to detect signs of dementia or cognitive decline.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In December 2015, Dr. Harold Bornstein <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2015\/12\/14\/459700154\/doctor-trump-would-be-healthiest-individual-ever-elected-president\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2015\/12\/14\/459700154\/doctor-trump-would-be-healthiest-individual-ever-elected-president\">said<\/a> Trump \u201cwill be the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency\u201d after reviewing the then-candidate\u2019s medical history.

He had a BMI of 30.4, which placed him in the medically obese category.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Conley, who succeeded Jackson, did not indicate whether Trump underwent a cognitive assessment that year.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-april-2020-covid-19\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">April 2020 \u2014 COVID-19<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump completed his next physical exam in April 2020 when the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/covid-19\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"11163\">COVID-19<\/a> pandemic was already underway in the United States.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The White House released a <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.com\/Politics\/white-house-releases-results-trumps-annual-physical-president\/story?id=71049289\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/abcnews.com\/Politics\/white-house-releases-results-trumps-annual-physical-president\/story?id=71049289\">summary of the results<\/a> in June of that year, revealing that Trump remained healthy and fit for office. He gained one pound since the prior medical checkup and has a resting heart rate of 63 beats per minute.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There were no significant changes to his health, though he did start taking hydroxychloroquine, an anti-malaria drug, to prevent COVID-19. He tested negative for COVID-19 at the time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, in October 2020, Trump was hospitalized after he and his wife tested positive for COVID-19. That health complication came weeks before the presidential election that year.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-july-2024-butler-assassination-attempt\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">July 2024 \u2014 Butler assassination attempt<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After Trump survived a gunshot wound from his first assassination attempt in July 2024, Jackson personally checked on him to make sure he was in good health.
