The White House released the results of President Donald Trump's medical checkup from May late Friday evening. The memo from his physician recommends that he lose weight and increase his physical activity, while also stating that he is in "excellent health."

According to the report, the president's overall health remains strong for a man of his age. However, the doctor noted that Trump could benefit from a few lifestyle adjustments. The primary recommendations include shedding some pounds and incorporating a regular exercise routine into his daily schedule.

The memo did not specify a target weight or a detailed fitness plan. It simply outlined general guidance for improvement. The doctor emphasized that despite these suggestions, Trump's vital signs and lab results are within normal ranges.

The release of the physical results came unusually late, several months after the actual examination took place. This delay sparked some speculation, but the White House attributed it to routine scheduling and paperwork. The doctor's final assessment reaffirmed that the president is fit to carry out his duties without any medical restrictions.

the report paints a picture of a man in good shape for his age, with the doctor's advice serving as a standard preventative measure rather than a response to any specific health crisis.
