The White House has released Donald Trump’s annual medical examination results, however some details have raised alarm bells.
Trump completed the first medical exam of his second term on Friday at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, by Dr. Sean Barbabella.
Trump’s active lifestyle is mentioned in the document, as well as his weight – listed at 224lbs – and his “frequent victories in golf events”. His height was listed as 6ft 3in, consistent with his first term. He has a body mass index (BMI) reading of 28, which is considered “overweight”. However, the BMI measurement of body fat has been criticized as an “inaccurate tool” to solely determine someone’s health, according to Yale Medicine.
Trump’s own driver’s license said he was 6’2″ and I highly doubt he grew an inch since then:
“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,” Barbabella wrote in his report.
The president recorded scores “within the normal range” in tests for depression and anxiety, however the specific numbers were not released. He scored a 30 out of 30 score for cognitive function.
“Overall, I felt I was in very good shape,” the 78-year-old said when asked about the medical assessment by 14 specialists on Friday.
Trump even bragged about his “perfect score” on the cognitive test, saying no one else has done as well:
Trump: "I took my cognitive exam as part of my physical exam, and I got the highest mark, and one of the doctors said, 'Sir, I've never seen anybody get that kind of — that was the highest mark.'" pic.twitter.com/eY2FWYGin3 [1]

However, some people are not convinced, and they are calling out the so-called red flags on social media. Check out the reactions below:

Most of Trump’s lies are abhorrent but I’d forgotten how funny the “annual physical” ones were. Yeah man, 6’3”, 224lbs. About the same stats as DK Metcalf here. Got it. pic.twitter.com/SrubafDu0c [5]

Trump's 'doctor' just claimed he is 6' 3" and 224 lbs.
Do you believe it?

Can we please talk about the "scaring" on Donald Trump's ear according to his doctor's report from his annual physical?
1) It's "scarring," not "scaring." Are we sure a doctor wrote this?
2) I've never seen a picture of a scar. Not one. pic.twitter.com/g9LAqfkQty [11]

The physical lied about Trump’s height again. They’re claiming he’s 6’3”. He used to be 6’2” and before that 6’1. Also, he’s old and shrinking, so even were he 6’3” before he’d be shorter now. Why lie about his height? They lie about everything. pic.twitter.com/ttMQErIE02 [13]

I love Trump annual physical time— in which the man who “tells it like it is” tells us he’s got the build of an NFL quarterback, the soul of Mother Theresa, and the cognitive abilities of a neurosurgeon pic.twitter.com/yzLgM0oEQn [16]

According to Trump’s annual physical, he has almost the exact same vital health stats as Muhammad Ali at his physical peak.
And this man is 80 years old. Let that sink in for a moment.
Prime Trump would have knocked out prime Muhammad Ali. Easily. https://t.co/DCWh9HpEfk [18] pic.twitter.com/LPjWdcrDl1 [19]

According to Donald Trump's physical, he's 6'3", 224 lbs. As of last year, Pittsburgh Steelers wideout, DK Metcalf, was 6'3", 228 lbs. So, Trump would have us believe he looks like this.#MAGAMorons [21] #ObeseCheeto [22] pic.twitter.com/kvw4ZLI5Dd [23]

And this MAGA tweet from former Trump press secretary Sean Spicer:
President Trump’s stellar mental and physical exam has been released. Doctors believe he could easily go on for another 3-4 terms.
