On April 13, 2025, President Trump held an unscheduled press briefing at 2:00 a.m. from Mar-a-Lago. During the late-night appearance, he took a swipe at his political opponent, saying, “I’m always available, unlike Biden. Think Biden would do an interview at 2 in the morning? He wouldn’t do one at 9 in the morning.”

On the same day, the White House released a memorandum from Trump’s physician, Dr. Sean P. Barbabella, declaring the president in “excellent health” and “fully fit” for duty following a recent physical examination at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.
The report offers a detailed look at the health of the nation’s oldest-serving president, who is nearing his 79th birthday. According to Dr. Barbabella, Trump stands 6 feet 3 inches tall and weighs 224 pounds.
His vital signs are strong, with a resting heart rate of 62 beats per minute and blood pressure reading of 128/74 mmHg.
President Trump scored a perfect 30 out of 30 on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), indicating no signs of cognitive impairment. He was also reported to be free of depression or anxiety symptoms.
The memo notes minor health issues including sun-related skin damage, a benign colon polyp removed in July 2024, and scarring on his right ear from a previous gunshot wound. It also cites past cataract surgery and ongoing cholesterol management.
Notably, the physician highlighted Trump’s lifelong abstinence from tobacco and alcohol.
This marks the first detailed health disclosure for the president since November 2023, offering insight into his physical and mental readiness as he continues his duties in office.
