Trump in excellent health, White House doctor says two days after routine physical checks

US President Donald Trump remains in excellent health, White House physician Captain Sean Barbella said in a report released on Sunday.

The comments come two days after Trump underwent routine physical checks on Friday.

The report is the most detailed information on the health of Trump, 78, since he returned to the White House in January as the oldest person to assume the US presidency.

“President Trump exhibits excellent cognitive and physical health and is fully fit to execute the duties of the Commander-in-Chief and Head of State,” Barbella wrote in his report.

Trump became the oldest presidential nominee from a major political party in US history after 81-year-old former President Joe Biden withdrew from the White House race in July.

But Trump’s age has not appeared to be a deal-breaker for voters, as he decisively won a knife-edge battle with former Vice President Kamala Harris in the November 5 presidential election.
