The White House physician is scheduled to deliver a report today on Trump’s health. So, how much will we learn? Potentially a lot, but this won’t be the smoking gun Trump’s fiercest critics might have been hoping for.
What to watch for: The official report from the White House usually gives the public more actual information than the vague assurances we’ve gotten so far that Trump is in “excellent health.”
- It usually includes the president’s height, weight, blood pressure, resting heart rate, cholesterol levels, and a list of medications he’s taking.
- All of that would be new information about Trump, and will be especially interesting given the reports about his relatively poor diet and lack of physical activity.
- The president’s physician generally does not perform (or at least, does not release the results of) any cognitive tests.
