U.S. President Donald Trump remains in excellent health, his \u200cphysician said in a memo released by the White House on Friday, citing results from an examination this week that indicated the 79-year-old continues to experience &#8220;slight lower leg swelling&#8221; and &#8220;benign&#8221; hand bruising.<\/div><div>&#8220;President Trump remains \u200bin excellent health, demonstrating strong cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, and overall physical function,&#8221; Dr. \u200bSean Barbabella wrote in the Tuesday memo, released late in the evening \u2060on Friday, adding Trump is &#8220;fully fit to carry out all duties of the Commander-in-Chief \u200band Head of State.&#8221;<\/div><div>Trump&#8217;s Tuesday visit to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, his third \u200bin 13 months, was closely watched as the White House in the past year had to detail several of the president&#8217;s health conditions after pictures revealed at times swollen ankles, bruised hands and a \u200bblotchy neck.<\/div><div>Shortly after the visit, Trump said &#8220;everything checked out perfectly.&#8221;<\/div><div>Barbabella&#8217;s memo cited Trump&#8217;s &#8220;slight lower leg \u200bswelling &#8230; with improvement from last year&#8221; and continued hand bruising, described as &#8220;common,&#8221; &#8220;benign&#8221; and &#8220;consistent with minor soft tissue \u200cirritation related \u2060to frequent handshaking in the setting of aspirin use for cardiovascular prevention.&#8221;<\/div><div>The memo did not address the reason for skin treatment in March on the president&#8217;s neck and did not indicate he underwent another magnetic resonance imaging exam, as he did in October.<\/div><div>Trump, who turns 80 \u200bin June and was \u200bthe oldest person \u2060to assume the presidency, frequently casts himself as more energetic and fitter than Joe Biden, his Democratic predecessor, who left office last year \u200bat age 82 after facing questions about his fitness for the \u200bjob.<\/div><div>Friday&#8217;s memo \u2060said the president&#8217;s overall cardiac function is normal and that &#8220;a comprehensive neurological examination demonstrated normal mental status,&#8221; including screenings for depression and anxiety.<\/div><div>&#8220;Preventive counseling was provided, including guidance on diet, recommendation \u2060to \u200btake a low-dose aspirin, increased physical activity, and continued \u200bweight loss,&#8221; the memo said.<\/div><div>Trump is 6 feet 3 inches tall (190 cm) and weighs 238 pounds (108 kg), the memo \u200badded.<\/div><div><address><div><div><noscript>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"120\" height=\"120\" alt=\"Bo
