The US president is in "excellent" shape, the White House announced after a "routine" medical visit this Friday.

Donald Trump "continues to be in excellent health," the US president's medical bulletin, released Friday after a "routine" medical checkup, reads.

The 79-year-old Republican underwent his second medical examination since returning to the White House in January. During this examination, it was established that his cardiac age was "approximately 14 years younger than his chronological age," according to the health bulletin sent by his spokesperson.

"President Donald Trump continues to be in exceptional health, with good cardiovascular, pulmonary, neurological and physical performance," continues the document signed by the US presidential physician, Sean Barbabella.

Vaccine booster

It also states that the president received a booster shot of the Covid-19 vaccine "in preparation for international travel," while his Secretary of Health, RFK Jr., known for his vaccine skepticism, has restricted access to Covid-19 vaccines.

This "routine annual medical visit," announced Wednesday by the White House, follows a health examination already carried out by the Republican in April, during which his doctor had already judged him to be in very good health.

Donald Trump, the oldest president to be sworn in in the United States, is not immune to questions and speculation about his health, even if they are far from reaching the intensity of those posed for his predecessor, Democrat Joe Biden.

The billionaire has been spotted with bruises on his right hand. Recent photos show him wearing a thick layer of makeup on the area. The White House claimed in July that the bruises were caused by "frequent handshakes" and his use of aspirin as a standard cardiovascular treatment.

Venous insufficiency this summer

The White House also announced in July that Donald Trump suffered from venous insufficiency, a circulatory problem that causes blood to pool in the lower limbs.

At the time, Karoline Leavitt also responded to speculation about the Republican president's possible health problems, following the publication of photos showing bruises on his hands. She then claimed that they were the result of "frequent handshakes" and his taking aspirin, "as part of a standard cardiovascular preventive prescription."
