The report also documented bruising on Trump\u2019s hands, explained as \u201cminor soft tissue irritation related to frequent handshaking,\u201d and said it was \u201ca common and benign effect of aspirin therapy.\u201d Among the recommendations was a switch to low-dose aspirin, Barbabella\u2019s 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\u2019s examination, but his physician noted that the condition has improved since last year.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Barbabella said the president demonstrated strong cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, and overall physical health, with no abnormal findings identified during the comprehensive evaluation. \u201cHis demanding daily schedule, including multiple high-level meetings, public engagements, and regular physical activity, continues to support his overall well-being,\u201d Barbabella wrote. Trump also underwent the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, a widely used screening tool for cognitive impairment and dementia. According to his physicians, he scored a perfect 30 out of 30 \u2013 matching the results reported during examinations in 2025 and 2018.<\/p>\n
