FLORIDA - Donald Trump's doctor says the oldest man to be elected president is "fully fit" to serve as commander in chief as the White House released the results of Trump's physical exam from Friday.
Trump is 78, and his physician, Navy Captain Sean Barbabella, cited what he said is Trump's "active lifestyle" and said it "continues to contribute significantly" to the Republican president's well-being. Trump turns 79 on June 14.
In a report released Sunday, the doctor said in a summary that Trump is "fully fit to execute the duties of Commander-in-Chief and Head of State." The results showed Trump has dropped 20 pounds since his last physical as president in 2020. He weighed 244 pounds then and is now down to 224 pounds. The exam summary noted that Trump previously had cataract surgery on both eyes, but the report did not include a date or dates. A common procedure among ageing people, the surgery typically involves removing a cloudy eye lens and replacing it with an artificial lens to help clear up vision. (Jamaica Gleaner/AP)
