Just a while ago, President Donald Trump has undergone his first physical examination which also involved a cognitive assessment.
The five-hour medical exam took place at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, with Dr. Sean Barbabella performing it. According to the president himself, it involved “every test you can imagine.”
“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,” Barbabella wrote in his report regarding the test results. “He remains in excellent health, exhibiting robust cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, and general physical function.
“His active lifestyle continues to contribute significantly to his well-being.”
The memo highlighted the president’s “frequent victories in golf events.”
However, despite the results presented by the White House, the public won’t stop speculating about Trump’s health.
Back in June, he attended the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) on June 9 and a couple of photos of him that were shared online caught the attention of many who claimed he was having what appeared to be a “catheter.”
“Trump appears to wearing leg braces and possibly a catheter. The weakness on his right side has been pretty evident for a number of years. And the bruising on his right hand might be caused from his receiving infusion therapy of some sort. Common with a Parkinson’s type disease,” one person wrote on X.
Other users suspected he could be wearing a leg brace.

In July, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt read the note from physician Sean Barbabella according to which the president has undergone a “comprehensive examination, including diagnostic vascular studies.”
“The president underwent a comprehensive examination, including diagnostic vascular studies. Bilateral lower extremity venous Doppler ultrasounds were performed and revealed chronic venous insufficiency, a benign and common condition, particularly in individuals over the age of 70,” Barbabella’s note said of Trump.
Now, controversial Dr. Aseem Malhotra, a British cardiologist has given his opinion on Donald Trump’s health and a possible explanation for Trump’s swollen ankles and alleged “dementia.”
As reported by The Daily Beast, Malhotra allegedly voiced his concerns to the Trump administration regarding the former president’s health. However, his worries weren’t linked to “brain fog” or swelling, but rather to Trump’s use of statins and aspirin.
In his statement to The Daily Beast, Malhotra said, “I have seen news reports about Donald Trump showing apparent signs of dementia, and we know that he has chronic venous insufficiency, which can cause swollen ankles and hands. I don’t think he has dementia—it is the side effects of statins that may be making him feel fatigued and sleepy.”
The publication added that Malhotra, speaking at the European Parliament during an event streamed on the “Make Europe Healthy Again” website, described Trump as “almost superhuman.”
“If I was his personal physician I’d want to optimize him even further, and the first step would be to stop his aspirin and the cholesterol lowering medications he’s taking that are likely shortening his lifespan and giving him fatigue,” Malhotra claimed.
“In someone like President Trump, with evidence from tests of no significant vascular disease, he is much more likely to suffer a serious life threatening bleed from aspirin than it prevents him from having a heart attack or stroke.”
