Donald Trump quietly released his latest medical report late Friday — the timing and the findings have reignited debate over his weight, swollen legs and overall fitness for office. Read on to discover the full story!

Late release fuels speculation

The White House waited until late Friday to share the report after the president spent about three and a half hours at Walter Reed for annual medical and dental exams. That delay prompted critics and some physicians to question why results weren’t made public sooner, with a former White House doctor suggesting secrecy may be meant to calm public worries.

What the exam showed

The check-up lists Trump at 238 pounds — about 14 pounds heavier than a year earlier — and notes he was given counseling on diet and exercise. Doctors observed ongoing leg swelling but recorded an improvement from the prior year. Cardiac testing was normal and an AI-assisted ECG estimated his cardiac age to be roughly 14 years younger than his chronological age. Examiners described his cognitive and physical performance as strong and fit for duty.
