WASHINGTON (AP) – President Donald Trump’s overall health “is excellent” and he did “exceedingly well” on cognitive screening, the Navy doctor who performed Trump’s first medical checkup said Tuesday.
Ronny Jackson had issued a blanket declaration that Trump was in “excellent health” after last Friday’s exam, and promised to provide a fuller readout on Tuesday.
He reported that the 6-foot-3 president weighed in at 239 pounds – three pounds heavier than he was in September 2016, the last time Trump revealed his weight to the public.
Trump’s blood pressure was 122 over 74, and his total cholesterol was 223, which is higher than recommended.
Trump was 70 when he took office on Jan. 20, 2017, making him the oldest person ever elected to the presidency.
