The White House has released the results of Donald Trump’s annual physical examination, and the news is largely positive. Trump’s doctor, Sean Barabell, says the president is in excellent health, with strong heart, lung, and nervous system function. The 78-year-old Trump underwent a five-hour physical at Walter Reed Hospital in Maryland, which included blood tests, heart function tests, and an ultrasound.

Barabell attributes Trump’s good health to his active lifestyle. “The President continues to show excellent cognitive function and physical health,” he said. “He is fit to serve as Commander-in-Chief and leader of the country.” Trump’s medical memo shows he passed several neurological tests, including mental status, motor function, and reflexes, with no signs of depression or anxiety.
On Saturday, Trump told reporters on Air Force One that he aced his cognitive test. “Overall, I feel like I’m in great shape,” he said. Trump’s doctor did note some minor issues, including sun damage to his skin and a non-serious skin condition. He’s also taking medication to control his high cholesterol.
