In a White House memo released after the April exam, Trump was reported to be 6 feet, 3 inches (190 cm) tall and weighed 224 pounds (102 kg). The memo highlighted his robust health and praised his golf skills, while noting that his high cholesterol was well controlled. However, by July, the White House disclosed new health details after images showed Trump with swollen ankles and bruising on his right hand. These symptoms prompted further medical explanations. Barbabella, through a White House statement, confirmed that Trump's swollen lower legs were caused by chronic venous insufficiency—a common, non-serious condition especially prevalent among people over 70. The bruising on his hand was attributed to minor soft tissue irritation, likely from frequent handshakes and aspirin use. The aspirin is part of Trump’s standard cardiovascular prevention regimen, aimed at maintaining his heart health.
