“Fact-Check: USAalive’s Speculative Claims vs. Trump’s Latest Health Report”

A recent article from USAvarieti claims that medical experts believe President Donald Trump, now 78, has less than a 75% chance of completing his second term, citing concerns over his health history and cognitive performance.

However, this assertion appears to be based on a report by journalist Will Neal, which references Trump’s past health issues, including coronary artery disease diagnosed in 2018, a severe bout of COVID-19 in 2020, and his weight at that time. The article also mentions instances of verbal gaffes as indicators of cognitive decline.

Contrastingly, more recent and authoritative sources provide a different perspective. In April 2025, President Trump’s physician, Dr. Sean Barbabella, declared him “fully fit” to serve as commander-in-chief following a comprehensive physical examination at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. The evaluation, conducted with input from 14 specialists, included neurological, cardiovascular, and psychological assessments. Trump reportedly scored perfectly on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, showed no signs of anxiety or depression, and had no gait abnormalities. Additionally, he had lost 24 pounds since his last physical in 2020, bringing his weight down to 224 pounds.

It’s worth noting that while concerns about age and health are common for leaders in their late 70s and early 80s, the most recent medical evaluations suggest that President Trump is currently in good health and capable of fulfilling his duties.Given the discrepancy between the speculative nature of the USAalive and the official medical assessments, it’s advisable to approach such claims with caution and rely on verified medical reports for accurate information.
