A recent YouGov/Economist poll conducted from May 23 to 26 among 1,660 adults revealed that 45% of respondents felt Donald Trump has been "not at all" or "not very" transparent about his health, while 42% believed he had been more forthcoming. The poll carries a margin of error of ±3.2 percentage points, reported results underscore a key challenge for Trump as he seeks to maintain public trust amid ongoing scrutiny of his 78 years and seven months, Trump was the oldest person ever inaugurated as US president. His election followed a campaign marked by concerns over the age and health of the candidates. Questions about Trump's physical and mental condition have persisted, particularly given a family history of dementia. Nonetheless, the White House physician stated in April that Trump is in "excellent cognitive and physical health."The poll also found mixed public perceptions of Trump's fitness for office: 31% said his age and health severely impair his ability to serve, 30% believed they had little impact, and 29% felt they had no impact at 62% of respondents said presidents should publicly release all medical information relevant to their ability to serve, while 28% argued that presidents should retain the same privacy rights as any other citizen regarding their health Trump is in "excellent cognitive and physical health", his White House physician said in April. In the first annual physical of his second presidential term at a Washington DC-area hospital, Trump was also found to have scarring "on the right ear from a gunshot wound", after an assassination attempt last July."President Trump remains in excellent health, exhibiting robust cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, and general physical function," his doctor, Captain Sean Barbabella, said in a memo. "President Trump exhibits excellent cognitive and physical health and is fully fit to execute the duties of the Commander-in-Chief and Head of State," Dr Barbabella wrote in the Barbabella reported that Trump has 'minor sun damage' and a few 'benign skin lesions.'According to the memo, the former president is taking several medications to manage his health: Rosuvastatin and Ezetimibe for cholesterol, Aspirin for heart disease prevention, and Mometasone cream for a skin cardiac evaluation revealed no abnormalities, Dr. Barbabella report also referenced a history of well-managed hypercholesterolemia, a condition that can elevate the risk of heart attack. Additional medical history included a previous COVID-19 infection, rosacea—a skin condition that often causes facial redness—and a benign colon Barbabella's records list Trump's weight at 224 pounds (101 kg) and his height at 6 feet 2.5 inches. This marks a weight loss since February 2019, when he weighed 243 President Joe Biden, 82, recently revealed he had been diagnosed with aggressive prostate cancer, reigniting concerns over transparency regarding his health.A survey found that 61 percent of respondents felt Biden had not been open about his medical condition, while only 31 percent believed he had been withdrew from the 2024 presidential race after a debate performance that intensified public concerns about his health and cognitive abilities. Just months earlier, in February 2024, his physician at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center had declared him "fit to serve" following a routine physical. Despite this, Biden and his campaign downplayed questions about his mental sharpness after the debate. The perception of a lack of transparency grew, with 57 percent of those surveyed believing that Democrats intentionally withheld information about his health while he was in an Oval Office press briefing last week, Trump criticized Biden's former medical team, suggesting they withheld critical health information from the public, and labeled the situation as "dangerous for our country.""I think somebody is going to have to speak to his doctor if it's the same, or even if it's two separate doctors," Trump said. "Why wasn't the cognitive ability, why wasn't that discussed? And I think the doctor said he's just fine. And it's turned out that's not so. It's very dangerous."

The results from President Donald Trump's first physical exam of his second presidential term have been released. Trump, 78, traveled to Walter Reed Army Medical Center in the Washington, D.C., suburbs around 11 a.m. local time on Friday, April 11, when he spent the afternoon getting evaluated, before flying straight to Mar-a-Lago for the weekend. Days later, on Sunday, April 13, White House physician Sean Barbabella released the results, revealing what medications Trump is taking, how much weight he has lost since his first term and more. According to the health memo, Trump is on two medications for cholesterol control (Rosuvastatin and Ezetimibe), taking Aspirin for cardiac prevention and he also uses Mometasone cream as needed for a skin condition. As for his weight, the 6-foot-3 politician weighs 224 lbs. During his last physical as president in 2020, he weighed 244 lbs., per the Associated Press.

He will become the oldest president in U.S. history if he serves out his full term. Trump was notoriously secretive about his health during his first term and did not release any recent medical records as part of his 2024 campaign — even after a June assassination attempt, in which a bullet struck his ear. In lieu of a medical report on the president's recovery, his campaign released a memo from Texas Rep. Ronny Jackson, a former White House physician and Trump supporter. Jackson said only that he had reviewed the president's medical records and "completely concurred" with the treatment he received at Butler Memorial Hospital following the shooting. Concerns about Trump's cognitive abilities were frequently raised during his first term and his presidential campaign. In June 2024, Variety editor-in-chief Ramin Setoodeh claimed that Trump had trouble remembering him over the course of multiple lengthy interviews for his book Apprentice in Wonderland: How Donald Trump and Mark Burnett Took America Through the Looking Glass. During an appearance on MSNBC's Morning Joe, Setoodeh said he began interviewing the former president for his book in 2021. He recalled that, despite the fact that he and Trump shared six long conversations over the course of his months-long research process, the president would get a 'vacant look on his face" when trying to place him. 'Donald Trump had severe memory issues," Setoodeh claimed. 'As the journalist who spent the most time with him, I have to say, he couldn't remember things. He couldn't even remember me."

Shortly before the 2024 election, Trump's nephew, Fred C. Trump III, spoke with PEOPLE about his family's history of dementia — and how his uncle's recent behavior reminded him of other Trumps who have faced cognitive health challenges. Fred specifically recalled his grandfather Fred Christ Trump Sr.'s battle with dementia during the last years of his life, saying that he'd seen parallels in the president's behavior in recent years. He recalled an encounter with his uncle at Mar-a-Lago in 2023, where he "just looked disoriented." "He kept repeating something to me time and time again when I had met him," Fred told PEOPLE. "He kept repeating things, and he just looked different. He looked tired." Fred also said that he'd noticed his uncle had "no inhibitions about cursing in front of anybody" more recently. While he recognized that "Donald has always cursed," his nephew described the president's recent communication as "outright nastiness." At the time, Trump's campaign dismissed the interview as "completely fabricated and total fake news." Read the original article on People
