WASHINGTON — The White House on Sunday released President Donald Trump’s health report, which declares that Trump “is fully fit to execute the duties” of the presidency while laying out a few conditions, such as high cholesterol, for which he has been treated and the report describes as “well controlled.”
The report, written by the president’s physician, Dr. Sean P. Barbabella, says that Trump “remains in excellent health” and “exhibits excellent cognitive and physical health.” It refers to Trump’s “frequent victories in golf events” as an example of his “active lifestyle” contributing to his physical and mental well-being.
The report also notes that Trump has been treated for high cholesterol, skin damages from frequent sun exposure, seasonal allergies and diverticulosis, a condition in which small pouches, called diverticula, form in the wall of the colon. He has also had cataract surgery for both of his eyes and has had a benign colon polyp, according to the report.
Trump, 78, underwent cognitive and cardiology tests during a visit, and told reporters he felt he was in “good shape” and had a “good heart.”
