In a recent health update, former U.S. President Donald Trump has been reported to be in “excellent health,” according to his physician, Dr. Bruce Aronwald. The memo, released on Trump’s 77th birthday via his social media platform “Truth Social,” coincides with current President Joe Biden’s 81st birthday. This revelation emerges as a focal point in the lead-up to the 2024 presidential elections, where physical and mental fitness of candidates has become a critical issue.

Dr. Aronwald, an orthopedic doctor from New Jersey, detailed in his memo that Trump has notably reduced his weight through a disciplined diet and consistent physical activity. He mentioned that Trump’s physical and cognitive tests were within normal ranges, with cognitive results being particularly exceptional. This health update plays a significant role as Trump leads the Republican nomination race by a considerable margin.
On the other side, President Joe Biden has expressed intentions to run for a second term. The focus on health and fitness of both potential candidates underscores the importance of these factors in the upcoming election.
The article also recalls a similar instance in 2016 when Trump’s then-physician, Harold Bornstein, issued a health statement, which he later claimed was dictated by Trump himself.
Trump, who faced brief detention in Atlanta last August and multiple criminal charges related to his attempts to overturn his 2020 election defeat, reported his weight as 98 kg and height as 1.9 meters at that time. He has pleaded not guilty to these charges and additional criminal cases filed against him.
