On Monday, the personal physician for former President Donald Trump released his medical report, giving the former president a clean bill of health and praising his recent weight loss and improved diet.
Dr. Bruce Aronwald, Trump’s physician since 2021, released the report on Monday, notably on President Joe Biden’s 81st birthday. The report comes as concern over Biden’s health continues to grow ahead of the 2024 presidential election, specifically regarding his age and cognitive ability.
According to Aronwald, the former president’s performance on cognitive exams was “exceptional.”
“I am pleased to report that President Trump’s overall health is excellent. His physical exams were well within the normal range and his cognitive exams were exceptional. In addition, his most recent extensive laboratory analysis remains well within normal limits and was even more favorable than prior testing in some of the most significant parameters, most likely secondary to weight reduction,” Aronwald wrote.
Aronwald added that Trump’s cardiovascular studies were “normal,” that his cancer screenings had come back negative and that he had “reduced his weight through an improved diet and continued daily physical activity, while maintaining a rigorous schedule.”
“It is my opinion that President Trump is currently in excellent health, and with his continued interest in preventative health monitoring and maintenance, he will continue to enjoy a healthy active lifestyle for years to come,” Aronwald added.
Meanwhile, a recent NBC poll indicated that 59% of registered voters have “major concerns” about Biden’s physical and mental health, and an additional 27% have either “moderate” or “minor” concerns.
Another poll released last month found 76% of voters agreed Biden is “too old” to serve another term.
The polls come as Biden continues to pursue a second term in office.
Many Republicans have said that Biden does not have the cognitive ability to serve another four years, including Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-TX), who was the White House physician for Presidents Obama and Trump.
“He’s got these people that surround him that are inappropriately encouraging him to continue to run because it builds up who they are and what they do. But our border, our wars overseas, our economy, you know, it’s just a disaster right now. And he just can’t do the job. And it’s just on display every day that he’s not capable of doing this job anymore,” Jackson warned during an appearance on “Fox & Friends” on Monday.
