Trump, 79, in ‘exceptional health’, medical check-up finds before Middle East trip
The president also had the annual flu and updated Covid-19 booster jabs in preparation for his coming international travel
Trump spent roughly three hours at the Bethesda, Maryland, hospital earlier on Friday for what his doctor, Navy Captain Sean Barbabella, called a “scheduled follow-up evaluation” that was “part of his ongoing health maintenance plan”.
While there, Trump also got his yearly flu shot, as well as a Covid-19 booster vaccine.
“President Donald J. Trump remains in exceptional health, exhibiting strong cardiovascular, pulmonary, neurological and physical performance,” Barbabella wrote in a one-page memo released on Friday night by the White House.
The doctor noted in the memo that the evaluation helped prepare for Trump’s coming overseas trips and included advanced imaging, lab testing and preventive health assessments.
