Overview
- The White House physician issued a three‑page memo late Friday that declared President Trump “fully fit” after a multi‑hour exam at Walter Reed and listed vitals, labs and preventive recommendations.
- The memo reports Trump scored 30 out of 30 on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, a short screening tool for cognitive impairment and not a measure of intelligence.
- Reviewing physicians flagged missing cardiac data that normally accompany coronary CTs and echocardiograms, such as calcium score, plaque description, CAD‑RADS and an ejection fraction.
- Experts also questioned why some imaging and cognitive tests were repeated so soon and noted the memo’s timing and brevity have sustained calls for more medical transparency.
- Coverage ranged from outlets highlighting Trump’s perfect MoCA and public boasting to outlets stressing clinical gaps and urging fuller disclosure so voters can better judge an elderly president’s fitness.
