RFK Jr. adviser shares shock theory for Trump’s ‘dementia’
President Donald Trump recently underwent an extensive medical evaluation at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland — a visit that included both physical and cognitive testing, according to White House physician Dr. Sean Barbabella. The assessment, described as part of the president’s “ongoing health maintenance plan,” reportedly spanned several hours and involved multiple specialists and diagnostic procedures.
In his public summary, Dr. Barbabella stated that Trump “exhibits excellent cognitive and physical health and is fully fit to execute the duties of the Commander-in-Chief and Head of State.” The report cited strong cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, and general physical function as indicators of Trump’s overall vitality. Barbabella further noted that the president’s “frequent victories in golf events” form an active part of his exercise routine.
The medical team performed advanced imaging, laboratory testing, and preventive screenings. Notably, the evaluation found Trump’s “cardiac age” — a metric derived from an electrocardiogram (ECG) — to be approximately 14 years younger than his chronological age. The president also received a flu shot and an updated COVID-19 booster during the visit.
This is Trump’s second major physical examination of the year. In April 2025, he earned a perfect 30/30 score on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), a standard screening tool for measuring memory, attention, and reasoning. During that earlier evaluation, physicians confirmed that Trump has chronic venous insufficiency — a circulatory condition that can cause swelling in the legs and feet — but emphasized that it does not affect his overall fitness.
Dr. Barbabella’s latest findings echo previous reports that depict the president as active and mentally sharp. However, the White House’s decision to conduct a follow-up evaluation within months has fueled curiosity about whether the visit was purely routine or prompted by specific concerns.
