President Donald Trump’s overall health “is excellent” and he did “exceedingly well” on cognitive screening designed to detect early signs of memory loss and other neurologic functions, the Navy doctor who performed Trump’s 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 (1.9-meter) president weighed in at 239 pounds (108 kilograms) — 3 pounds (1.36 kilograms) heavier than he was in September 2016, the last time Trump revealed his weight to the public.
