President Trump\u2019s April health report from White House physician Dr. Sean Barbabella declares him \u201cfully fit\u201d to serve, citing a perfect cognitive score, normal scans of his heart and organs, and generally robust physical health. It notes his height, weight, routine medications, a benign colon polyp, mild diverticulitis, and recent cataract surgery.<\/p>\n
Trump himself emphasized nailing every question on a cognitive exam and highlighted the comprehensive nature of his medical checks. On the surface, these findings reinforce the image of an active, healthy near-79-year-old leader.<\/p>\n
