After the Walter Reed Checkup, Sorry, Dems: President Trump Is in Great Health

Americans have worried about the health of presidents, well, since there have been Americans and American presidents. We expect the chief executive, the commander-in-chief of our armed forces, the head of state, the face our nation turns to the world, to be in good physical and mental shape. That's a valid concern; the president is usually an older man, and it's valid to be concerned for his health.

Now the White House has released the results of President Trump's follow-up evaluation at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, and the news is good: President Donald Trump is in great shape.

The memo here was written by the Physician to the President, Sean P. Barbabella, D.O., following the president's evaluation. Some key excerpts:

Comprehensive laboratory studies performed in conjunction were exceptional, including stable metabolic, hematologic, and cardiac parameters.

In preparation for upcoming international travel, President Trump also received preventive health screenings and immunizations, including annual influenza and updated COVID-19 booster vaccinations.

For a man the age of the president (79), that's a good report; cardiac problems in particular are a routine concern for men the president's age.

Dr. Barbabella concludes:

President Trump continues to demonstrate excellent overall health. His cardiac age - a validated measure of cardiovascular vitality via ECG - was found to be approximately 14 years younger than his chronological age. He continues to maintain a demanding daily schedule without restriction. 

Summary: President Donald J. Trump remains in exceptional health, exhibiting strong cardiovascular, pulmonary, neurological, and physical performance.

Granted, physicians' reports about the president are frequently couched in glowing terms. And, we might also note, the entire coterie surrounding President Trump's immediate predecessor routinely sang the praises of "Autopen Joe" Biden's health, stamina, and mental acuity, despite all evidence to the contrary, and there was a lot of evidence to the contrary.

Even so, President Trump's own energy, his work schedule, his drive, would seem to support the reports of his physicians. Some of us are well enough along in years now to remember quite a few presidencies, and many of those presidents were younger than President Trump, and none have done so much so fast as the 47th president - not even the 45th president.

It probably doesn't hurt that President Trump has eschewed alcohol and tobacco throughout his life (a claim that this writer certainly can't make).

President Trump has more than three years left in his second, non-consecutive term. When he leaves office, he will be 82 years of age; the same age Autopen Joe was when he wandered aimlessly out of the White House for the last time. There's a big difference between the two men, though, and if President Trump maintains his current state of health, he should be able to see a successful end to his second term, and with any luck, in January of 2029, he will hand the reins over to a younger Republican president - say, JD Vance.

A pre-print study indicates that a vaccinated group sampled by the Cleveland clinic had a higher rate of influenza infection than the vaccinated group.
Something wrong with that statement. AI may not understand the difference between a positive and a negative.

I mistyped. The oddity of 2024/2025 season was that vaccinated people had more influenza infections than unvaccinated.

In other words, the vaccine effectiveness was about 25% negative.

Cause unknown, pre print, the authors only said that vaccine does not infect people. Others suggested vaccinated people were less safe. Hearing coughs from someone near and not moving away.

I am 70 and have the flu every few years, or at least a bad cold. The whole reason for doing studies is to have more samples than you and me.

Thanks for the clarifying correction. I am actually surprised by that finding.
I suppose those that are vaccinated might feel more confidant than the un-vaxxed.
Apparently unwarranted confidence but it makes sense.

I do understand the purpose of studies and data and the weakness of anecdotal evidence.
