Former President Donald Trump's personal physician has released his medical report, giving the former president a clean bill of health and praising his recent weight loss and improved diet. The report, released Monday by Dr. Bruce Aronwald, who has served as Trump's physician since 2021, comes as concern over President Biden's health continues to grow ahead of the 2024 presidential election, specifically regarding his age and cognitive ability. Trump's physician said the former president's performance on cognitive exams was "exceptional." The report was notably released on Biden's 81st birthday. "I am pleased to report that President Trump's overall health is...

Leaving the White House may be a weight off former President Donald Trump's shoulders in more ways than one, with observers noting that physical changes in the former president's appearance may demonstrate the physical toll the presidency took while also signaling future ambitions. Trump had lost about 15 pounds as of April, and he traded his typical spray tan for a natural hue at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, according to Business Insider. Trump advisers say the former president has seen marked improvements to his health, upgrading his diet and playing golf frequently. "Mar-a-Lago guests frequently comment about how good...

He looks good. He sounds good. Leftists can cry, but the boss is back, and he is ready to work.

Tonight, @FLOTUS and I tested positive for COVID-19. We will begin our quarantine and recovery process immediately. We will get through this TOGETHER!

Vice President Pence said Tuesday that he doesn’t “recall” being told to be on “standby” when President Trump made an unannounced visit to Walter Reed Medical Center last year. “I don’t recall being told to be on standby,” Pence told Fox News’s Bret Baier when pressed on an account included in a new book from New York Times correspondent Michael Schmidt. “I was informed that the president had a doctor’s appointment.” “I’ve got to tell you, part of this job is you’re always on standby. You’re vice president of the United States,” Pence continued. “The American people can be confident...

President Donald Trump slammed Matt Drudge for his website, the Drudge Report, leading with the story of how the president denied he had a 'mini-stroke' that links readers to a video where Trump is purportedly dragging his right leg. 'Drudge didn't support me in 2016, and I hear he doesn't support me now. Maybe that's why he is doing poorly,' Trump tweeted Tuesday evening. 'His Fake News report on Mini-Strokes is incorrect. Possibly thinking about himself, of the other party's "candidate,"' Trump wrote. Trump's comments on Drudge came after his campaign demanded that CNN fire Democratic pundit Joe Lockhart, who...

President Trump had trouble drinking a glass of water and displayed an unsteady gait when walking down a ramp. It is possible that these problems could indicate some type of neuropathy. And while it's unlikely, one potential cause is hydroxychloroquine. As a vascular surgeon, I am well acquainted with what we call “gait disturbances,” an abnormal walk. I am sure many of you have seen individuals who have suffered from a stroke with partial loss of their leg, which results in a walk that is less fluid.There are many diagnostic possibilities responsible for a change in our gait. I am,...

...he 6-foot-3 president tips the scales at 244 pounds, up from 243 pounds in 2019 and 239 pounds the year before. With a BMI of 30.5, that still puts him in the clinically obese category. Trump, who has a common form of heart disease, was warned by his previous physician Dr. Ronny Jackson in 2018 that he needed to do more exercise and improve his diet — with a nutritionist brought into the White House to advise chefs on cutting the commander-in-chief’s calories. Several examinations at the Walter Reed military hospital between November 2019 and April 2020 also found Trump’s...

A Yale psychiatrist named Bandy Lee has repeatedly claimed that Trump is mentally unfit for office. Democrats in Congress have even had official meetings with her. This woman has never even met Trump, but she feels perfectly fine offering her diagnosis, in a clear ethical violation of her profession. Now that Joe Biden has become an increasing cause for concern, due to his aging mind, Bandy Lee refuses to offer a diagnosis of Biden. Washington Monthly reports: Brandy X. Lee, one of the mental health professionals who has been very vocal about Trump’s unfitness for office, explained why a declination to...

It's wasn't any "urgent or acute issues" that sent President Donald Trump to the hospital over the weekend, the White House physician said Monday. It was for a routine interim checkup, he said, echoing comments from the president and his team. The disclosure came amid speculation surrounding Trump’s visit Sunday to Walter Reed Medical Center, which was not announced ahead of time. Unlike the president’s previous two physicals, which came with advance notice and were included on his public schedule, Sunday’s visit was announced only in a tweet. Trump said he’d begun “phase one” of his yearly physical — though...

Food tester was first rushed to hospital, and doctors believe there was exposure to time-delayed poison  An inside source says President Trump’s food taster became ill after ingesting an unnamed substance, which is why the president made a surprise hospital visit on Saturday.In an official statement, the White House said President Trump visited the Walter Reed Military Hospital in Bethesda, Maryland, for  a “quick exam and labs.”The hospital visit was not listed on the president’s public schedule, according to media outlets which indicated that the visit was not a routine physical exam.Additionally, the inside source said his food taster was rushed to the facility...

New rules from the Trump administration on Friday would require insurers and hospitals to disclose upfront the actual prices for common tests and procedures to promote competition and push down costs. The sweeping changes face stiff pushback from the health care industry and could be challenged in court. Even in an ideal world where information flows freely, patients and their families would have to deal with a learning curve to become comfortable with the intricacies of health care billing. “This shadowy system has to change,” Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar said. “The patient has to be in control.”...

Here’s my interview with Bandy X Lee, who has been all over the media attacking President Trump’s mental healthhttps://t.co/KBK2akIclE— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) August 28, 2019

The White House physician declared President Trump to be in “very good health” Friday after he underwent a physical exam at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. “I am happy to announce the President of the United States is in very good health and I anticipate he will remain so for the duration of his presidency, and beyond,” Navy Cdr. Sean Conley, the physician to the president, wrote in a memo summarizing the exam. Conley provided no further details about his assessment. He said reports and recommendations regarding Trump’s health are “still being finalized,” indicating more information could be released...

President Trump's new limousine reportedly costs $1.5 million and comes complete with a fridge stocked with samples of his blood type. NBC reports that Trump on Tuesday rolled up to the United Nations in the new vehicle , nicknamed The Beast like the previous limo. The new limousine's predecessor was introduced during President Obama's first term. The new Beast is one of a dozen initially estimated at $15.8 million in total, and is plated with a military grade armor and has five-inch, multilayer windows, according to NBC. All the protective measures make the doors as heavy as those of a...

Well, weÂ’re back to this again. Like many in the liberal news media, The Washington Post had their doubters about President Donald TrumpÂ’s medical report. The president is in excellent health: good heart rate, blood pressure, and cognitive function. There was a sigh among the press corps, who so desperately seemed to want to hear that the president was a cheeseburger away from a heart attack, had memory issues, or something else was wrong with him to paint a narrative that he was an unstable mess. Were they hoping for AIDS, Hepatitis C, necrotizing fasciitis, or anything to further denigrate...

The Yale University psychology professor who “called in” her conclusion that President Trump was “mentally impaired” was recently criticized for ignoring well-established protocol. She made her diagnosis without ever actually examining the president. Now she faces additional criticism for another professional faux pas. It appears that Professor Bandy Lee is not currently licensed to practice psychology in her own state of Connecticut. Campus Reform discovered that Lee’s “physician/surgeon” license in Connecticut expired more than two years ago — on May 31, 2015 — and she hasn’t applied for a renewal since then. In addition, Lee’s “controlled substance registration for practitioner”...

We have a new rule from liberal America: if you don’t like someone in office, you can just pull medical diagnoses out of thin air to denigrate them. Yesterday, Rear Admiral Ronny Jackson delivered his report on the president’s routine checkup. Trump is in excellent health. He had good blood pressure, heart rate, and Jackson was confident that he would remain in good health throughout his first term, possibly his second. The media was aghast. How could this be? They were all waiting popcorn in hand to report gleefully that something was wrong with the president. Having slightly higher cholesterol than...

Let’s see how many CNN stars drop with a heart attack or are led off to mental health institutions in the next “3-5 years”. It’s not a CNN ‘prediction’ that President Donald Trump will have a heart attack in “3-5 years”, it’s their wicked, undying wish. It was predictable that CNN would rush to air their bitter disappointment when White House Dr. Danny Jackson gave the president a clean bill of health.

WASHINGTON — Cardiologists not associated with the White House said Wednesday that President Trump’s physical exam revealed serious heart concerns, including very high levels of so-called bad cholesterol, which raises the risk that Mr. Trump could suffer a heart attack while in office. Dr. Ronny L. Jackson, a rear admiral and the White House physician, said Tuesday in his report on the president’s medical condition that Mr. Trump was in “excellent” cardiac health despite having an LDL cholesterol level of 143, well above the desired level of 100 or less. Dr. Eric Topol, a cardiologist at the Scripps Research Institute,...
