Justice Thomas Makes It Clear He’s Not Happy With Supremes Who Rejected Florida Lawsuit
According to the report, Trump weighed 238 pounds during the examination, an increase of 14 pounds from his April 2025 physical. Physicians provided recommendations regarding diet, physical activity, and weight management, but emphasized that the president remains in strong overall health. The report stated that Trump’s “cognitive and physical performance are excellent” and that he remains fully capable of carrying out the demands of the office. At 6 feet, 3 inches tall, Trump’s body mass index was measured at 29.7. Medical guidelines generally classify a BMI of 30 or higher as obese, placing Trump just below that threshold.
The report also documented bruising on Trump’s hands, explained as “minor soft tissue irritation related to frequent handshaking,” and said it was “a common and benign effect of aspirin therapy.” Among the recommendations was a switch to low-dose aspirin, Barbabella’s report said. The White House disclosed last year that Trump had been diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, a common age-related condition that can cause blood to pool in the legs and lead to swelling. According to the latest medical report, Trump still exhibited slight lower-leg swelling during this year’s examination, but his physician noted that the condition has improved since last year.
Trump’s Comprehensive Medical Evaluation Results

The report also highlighted significant improvements in Trump’s cholesterol levels. His total cholesterol measured 143, down dramatically from 223 in 2018. Doctors attributed the improvement in part to medications including rosuvastatin, which helps lower LDL (“bad”) cholesterol while increasing HDL (“good”) cholesterol, and ezetimibe, which further reduces LDL levels.
