Inside Donald Trump’s Annual Physical: What His Doctors Revealed in the Public Report

When the former president’s physicians held a brief press briefing last week, they did more than just answer a few routine questions – they actually released the whole report of Donald Trump’s annual physical. It felt a bit like a celebrity health update, only with more formal titles and a few more technical terms tossed in.

Dr. Craig J. Calibuso, the Trump‑associated cardiologist, opened the session by saying the exam “confirms a generally healthy cardiovascular status.” He then walked the room through numbers that, on paper, look fairly ordinary for a man in his mid‑70s: a weight hovering around 240 pounds, a blood pressure reading of 124/78, and a resting heart rate in the low 60s. Nothing out of the ordinary, he emphasized, and certainly nothing that would raise alarm bells.

Dr. Anthony Yashar, the chief medical officer for the Trump Organization, added a few extra details about blood work. Cholesterol levels, according to the report, sit in the “borderline high” range, but the doctor noted that the former president is already on a statin regimen, which should keep things in check. Blood sugar, kidney function, and liver enzymes all fell within normal limits – a point the doctors seemed eager to repeat.

There was, however, a brief moment of candor when the physicians addressed the elephant in the room: the earlier concerns about Trump’s heart health that have floated around in the media for years. “We have no evidence of any acute cardiac event,” Dr. Calibuso said, almost as if clearing a fog that has lingered for a while.

Beyond the numbers, the doctors offered a few lifestyle observations. Trump continues to enjoy a diet that includes steak and occasional fast food, but he also gets regular exercise – golf, walking, and some light weight training, according to the report. The physicians concluded that, overall, the former president is “fit for public life,” a phrase that, while sounding like a political endorsement, is technically a medical assessment.

As with any public health disclosure, some readers will comb through the figures looking for red flags, while others will simply nod and move on. Either way, the release provides a snapshot of Trump’s health at a time when the conversation around his fitness – both physical and political – remains a hot topic.
