Donald Trump recently underwent his first physical examination of his second term, declaring his health
“exemplary” after scoring a perfect 30/30 on a cognitive test. According to the White House,
he “exhibits excellent cognitive and physical health, fully fit to serve as Commander-in-Chief.”
However, new photos of Trump walking toward Marine One have drawn attention to his noticeably slimmer appearance.
Since 2022, he has reportedly lost about 30 pounds. Once known for favoring McDonald’s, diet sodas,
and well-done steaks, he now appears to have adopted healthier habits.Supporters have welcomed the change,
but some medical professionals remain cautious. Dr. Daniel Atkinson told the Irish Star that unexplained weight loss in people Trump’s
age can raise concerns. Conditions like diabetes, which affects blood sugar regulation, can sometimes cause weight fluctuations,
especially in those nearing 80. He stressed that this does not mean Trump has diabetes, only that it is one possible explanation.
The White House has not commented on his weight loss but continues to emphasize strong physical and cognitive results.
Recent photos of bruising on Trump’s hands during a meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron
have also fueled speculation, highlighting ongoing public concern about the health of older leaders.
