Trump declared in excellent health after physical exam
President Donald Trump was declared in 'excellent health' and 'fully fit' to serve as commander in chief following an annual physical exam at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on Tuesday. His physician, U.S. Navy Capt. Sean Barbabella, released a memo late Friday detailing strong cardiac, pulmonary, and neurological function, along with a perfect score on a cognitive assessment. The report also addressed publicly visible concerns including hand bruising and leg swelling, attributing them to aspirin use combined with frequent handshaking and a pre-existing venous condition respectively.
