From the New York Times: The White House on Sunday released President Trump’s health report, which declares that Mr. Trump “is fully fit to execute the duties” of the presidency while laying out a few conditions, such as high cholesterol, for which he has been treated and the report describes as “well controlled.”
The report, written by the president’s physician, Dr. Sean P. Barbabella, who is also a Navy captain, says that Mr. Trump “remains in excellent health” and “exhibits excellent cognitive and physical health.” It refers to Mr. Trump’s “frequent victories in golf events” as an example of his “active lifestyle” contributing to his physical and mental well-being.
The report also notes that Mr. Trump has been treated for high cholesterol, skin damages from frequent sun exposure, seasonal allergies and diverticulosis, a condition in which small pouches, called diverticula, form in the wall of the colon. He has also had cataract surgery for both of his eyes and has had a benign colon polyp, according to the report.
