Trump Faces Renewed Health Check: 'I'm in 'Excellent Shape' - Trump, 79, Scores 'Perfect' on Cognitive Test, Doctor Says He's Fit for Office

At 79, Donald Trump is currently the oldest serving US President in history. Despite his advanced age, the former businessman has consistently maintained his fitness for the role, with his latest health check-up painting a positive picture.

Trump recently underwent a medical examination, during which he scored a 'perfect result' on a cognitive test. This assessment, conducted six months ago, follows a trend of positive health reports for the President. In April, his health check revealed a normal heart structure and function, with no signs of deep vein thrombosis or arterial diseases. Trump's physician certified that he has the heart and vascular system of a 65-year-old, well above the minimum age requirement of 35 for US Presidents. The President, who suffers from chronic venous insufficiency, a common condition in people over 70, takes aspirin as part of a routine treatment for a heart condition. Trump has publicly stated that he is in 'terrific shape', ready to handle the demanding duties of his office.

Trump's recent health check-up confirms his excellent overall health and strong physical performance. Despite his age, he continues to meet the fitness requirements for the US Presidency. Meanwhile, Trump has previously commented on his predecessor, Joe Biden, suggesting that he struggles with cognitive tests, a claim that has been refuted by Biden's campaign.
