Donald Trump’s health remains a topic of ongoing speculation, even as official reports affirm he is medically sound. While the former president has been declared “fully fit” to lead by his White House physician, some health professionals continue to raise red flags based on his recent public appearances.

In April, Dr. Sean Barbabella, Trump’s attending physician, issued a statement declaring that the former president is in “excellent cognitive and physical health.” The detailed medical summary cited routine exams of the heart, throat, ears, and eyes—all returning regular results. Barbabella also revealed Trump had a benign polyp discovered during a 2024 colonoscopy and a diagnosis of diverticulitis, with a follow-up procedure scheduled in three years.

The report also listed various medications, including treatments for cholesterol and cardiac prevention, along with a topical cream for a skin condition. The former president is said to have undergone successful cataract surgery in both eyes and maintains what the doctor described as a generally “active lifestyle” contributing positively to his overall health.

Trump, speaking to reporters after the evaluation, emphasized his performance on a cognitive assessment: “I got every answer right,” he claimed. “They tested my heart and other things—everything came back strong.”

A psychologist raises motor skill concerns

Despite the clean bill of health, critics have questioned the credibility and transparency of Trump’s medical reports. Among the skeptics is psychologist Dr. John Gartner, who recently voiced concern over the 45th president’s motor function, suggesting that subtle changes in physical behavior could point to early signs of frontotemporal dementia.
