Great news in today after President Trump’s annual physical.
Despite being in his early 70’s, our President has more energy and stamina than most half his age!
In fact, it’s been frequently reported that 30 and 40 year olds have trouble keeping up with his schedule and pace of life.
So it didn’t come as too big of a surprise to see his annual physical report is “very good”!
Take a look:
From Politico:
Donald Trump’s personal physician said the president is “in very good health” and predicted he would remain so beyond his time in office, in a brief statement released after an annual physical examination Friday.
“While the reports and recommendations are being finalized, I am happy to announce that the President of the United States is in very good health,” U.S. Navy Cmdr. Sean P. Conley said in a statement released by the White House, “and I anticipate he will remain so for the duration his Presidency, and beyond.”
Trump went to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on Friday for his second physical while in office. According to Conley’s statement, the appointment lasted four hours and Conley supervised the evaluation with more than 11 board-certified specialists.
Beyond that description and Conley’s broad statement about Trump’s health, no further details on what tests were administered and or opinions rendered by the other specialists were provided.
Rear Adm. Ronny Jackson, Trump’s previous physician and later an unsuccessful nominee to head the Veteran Affairs Department, told reporters last January that Trump was in good physical health. At that time, Jackson also said that he and Trump, who was then 6 foot 3 and 239 pounds, had a shared desire for the president to lose “10 to 15 pounds,” but Trump had not been following an exercise routine.
And confirmed by NBC:
President Donald Trump is in “very good health,” the White House physician said Friday after conducting his annual physical examination.
“While the reports and recommendations are being finalized, 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,” Dr. Sean Conley said in a statement Friday evening after the president's exam at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland.
“Over the course of approximately four hours, I performed and supervised the evaluation with a panel of 11 different board certified specialists. He did not undergo any procedures requiring sedation or anesthesia,” Conley said.
Trump did not answer reporters' questions Friday about his physical exam. A more conclusive report on his results is expected from the White House in the coming days.
Recent presidents have undergone physical exams as a way of assuring the public that they are in good health and fit to serve the country. This examination was Trump's second in office.
Last year, the president's physical was performed by Dr. Ronny Jackson, who was nominated to head the Department of Veterans Affairs, leading to his being replaced by Conley. Jackson ultimately withdrew his nomination following accusations of drinking on the job and overprescribing medication to patients.
Trump, 72, does not drink alcohol or smoke. However, he is known to enjoy fast food.
