President Donald Trump is “fully fit” to perform the duties of the presidency, the White House physician said in a memorandum released Sunday following Trump’s yearly physical. The note, which included details of laboratory work, physical examinations and a cognitive test, concluded that Trump remains in “excellent health.” Trump weighs 224 pounds and is 75 inches tall, the note reports. His resting heart rate is 62 beats per minute, and his blood pressure is 128/74 mmHg. Trump scored 30 out of 30 on a Montreal Cognitive Assessment exam, the note said. Exams of Trump’s various bodily systems came back normal, including of his eyes, head, ears, nose and throat. The physician noted scarring on Trump’s right eat derived from the attempt on his life in Pennsylvania last year. Trump exhibits “robust cardiac, pulmonary, neurological and general physical function,” Dr. Sean Barbabella wrote. “His active lifestyle continues to contribute significantly to his well-being.”

President Donald Trump’s inaugural committee collected a staggering $239 million for the festivities surrounding his swearing-in this year — with some of the nation’s wealthiest people and biggest companies writing large checks as they sought to ingratiate themselves with the Republican ahead of his return to the White House.
