A medical expert has raised alarm on Donald Trump’s latest health report that suggested that the US President is in “excellent health”. White House Physician Dr. Sean Barbabella latest report on Trump’s medical exam claimed that he is “fully fit” and demonstrated “strong cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, and overall physical function”.

However, Dr. Jonathan Reiner, a professor at The George Washington School of Medicine & Health Sciences, raised some serious concerns over Dr Barbabella’s reports. On Saturday, he reached out on X and listed seven questions on the health assessment report. He criticised the usefulness of President Donald Trump’s fourth Montreal Cognitive Assessment, saying repeated administrations make it easy, while the White House announced the test showed normal cognitive function with a perfect score.

The US President is often seen with bruising on his hands, which has been attributed to regular aspirin use; swelling in his legs, linked to a diagnosis of chronic venous insufficiency; and, more recently, a skin rash.

The report discussed the president’s chronic venous insufficiency and his regular aspirin use, but it did not address the skin rash that appeared on Trump’s neck in March.

Dr Reiner asked: “The report notes that the president’s ankle edema is improved compared with last year, but at the president’s last annual exam he had no edema.

“Dr. Barbabella attributes the president’s bruising to his aspirin and handshaking. But what about his left hand? Also, why is the president, taking a dose of aspirin 4x higher than recommended for cardiovascular protection?”

Mr Trump has often avoided discussing any personal health issues, placing strong emphasis on presenting himself as energetic and robust.

Throughout both his campaigns and his time in the Oval Office, he frequently highlighted his mental and physical fitness as part of his public image.
