President Donald Trump is in “excellent health,” the White House physician said Friday in a memo the administration released after Trump’s visit to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center — his third in-person medical checkup in 13 months.

 

“He is fully fit to carry out all duties of the Commander-in-Chief,” Dr. Sean Barbabella, the president’s physician, wrote in the memo.

 

The memo came out three days after his Tuesday exam.

The memo said that Trump took a series of exams testing cardiac function, eye health and pulmonary function, among other areas. Barbabella reported Trump’s weight as 238 pounds — 14 pounds higher than at his April 2025 visit — with a resting heart rate of 73 beats per minute. Trump also took a neurological exam that included screening for cognitive function, which was within normal limits with a score of 30 out of 30, Barbabella said.

Trump is taking medication for cholesterol control and cardiac prevention, Barbabella said.

“The President remains up to date on all appropriate preventive screenings and immunizations,” Barbabella said. “Routine cancer screenings, cardiovascular risk assessment, and metabolic evaluations are current and within recommended intervals. Preventive counseling was provided, including guidance on diet, recommendation to take a low-dose aspirin, increased physical activity, and continued weight loss.”

The report also addressed two issues that have drawn public attention in recent months: bruising on the hands and swelling in the legs. Barbabella attributed the hand bruising to frequent handshaking combined with aspirin use, noting that a coagulation profile was normal (this is a blood panel that can point towards a bleeding disorder). They also did not specify the aspirin dose (they previously stated he takes a high dose of 325 mg as opposed to a more common lower dose of 81 mg.)

The leg swelling, which has been attributed to chronic venous insufficiency, a common condition in older adults in which leg veins have difficulty returning blood to the heart, was noted to have improved. Importantly, his ultrasound of the heart showed preserved heart function (having a weak heart can also sometimes cause leg swelling).

Trump went to Walter Reed twice last year — in April and October — and had two dental appointments in Florida this year: one in January and one in May.

Trump, who will turn 80 in June, is the oldest person to assume the presidency. He regularly insists he is in excellent health, most recently on Tuesday following his visit to Walter Reed in Bethesda, Maryland.

“Just finished my 6 month physical at Walter Reed Military Medical Center. Everything checked out PERFECTLY. Thank you to the great Doctors and Staff!” Trump posted on Truth Social.

He also regularly says he has aced cognitive exams.

Still, speculation about Trump’s health has been fueled by moments of apparent drowsiness and a noticeably bruised right hand. The White House has blamed the bruising on Trump’s frequent handshaking and said he takes aspirin as a blood thinner — more than is recommended by his doctors.

Last year, the White House revealed that Trump had chronic venous insufficiency, a non-life-threatening condition that causes poor circulation and led to swelling in his legs.

 

In October, following his visit to Walter Reed, which the White House had described as a “routine yearly check up” even though it was his second visit in six months, Trump revealed to reporters that he had undergone an MRI. His doctor later clarified that the exam was a CT scan of his heart and abdomen “to definitively rule out any cardiovascular issues.”

Barbabella said that Trump had the scan “to make the most of the President’s time at the hospital” and that his doctors had asked Trump whether he would undergo advanced imaging.

“As we revealed in the post-examination report, the advanced imaging was perfectly normal and revealed absolutely no abnormalities,” Barbabella said in a statement to NBC News at the time.

Barbabella struck a similar tone during Trump’s April 2025 visit, saying he “remains in excellent health, exhibiting robust cardiac, pulmonary, neurological and general physical function.”

 

Just what is normal for an 80 year old? Falling asleep is. Cognitive decline is. Rambling and slurring is. Being at death's door is.

Paid a little over six a gallon today.  Good thing I rarely drive my truck.  EV for day to day with solar to offset the electricity.  
 

it was nice of Trump to kill the tax credit for solar so others can’t shield themselves from gas price fluctuations.

Trump tries to shift blame to Netanyahu signalling the romance is over. Iran amused.

Gas prices dropping here in SW Oklahoma though in my tiny town (with one station) it's $4 a gallon. Gas on Fort Sill yesterday was $3.51. Last month gas in town was $3.59 & regular on Sill was $4+. Gas statewide is dropping though hovering around $3.50-$3.75 at the moment. Oilfield is going nuts here, can't get CDL drivers hired fast enough, trucking wages are waaaaay up & I'm still gonna stay home & draw old guy gibs.

President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu at Odds Over Lebanon Strikes Creating Problems for Negotiations with Iran

June 1, 2026 | Sundance | 448 Comments

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu representing Israel, and President Donald Trump representing the United States, apparently had a testy telephone call about ongoing Israeli strikes against Hezbollah attacks from Lebanon.

Iran, essentially IRGC control officers who now control the government, had previously said their terms for negotiation required Israel to stop strikes into Lebanon against their allies in Hezbollah.  However, under the cover of that term, Hezbollah restarted rocket attacks from Lebanon against Israel.  Yesterday, Israel began counter-attack operations against Hezbollah, which led to Iran saying the terms of the negotiation were now violated, and they would stop discussions with the USA.

[NOTE – This overall dynamic is very similar to Saudi Arabia coming under fire about a month ago, and their anger toward the USA for essentially saying Saudi had to accept the attacks so that diplomatic talks could continue.   Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salmon rejected the expectation and challenged President Trump with Saudi allied base cooperation.]

Apparently, President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu had a strong discussion, some have leaked a very angered and open exchange, about Netanyahu launching strikes into Lebanon again.

On social media, it looks like this. Netanyahu put’s the Israel position via X:

President Trump responds to Netanyahu’s intentions with a phone call and then a follow-up on his Truth Social Account:

From leaks of the background conversation, a very testy narrative appears:

AXIOS – “President Trump lashed out at Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over Israel’s escalation in Lebanon in an expletive-laden call on Monday, two U.S. officials and a third source briefed on the call told Axios.” {source}

♦    ♦   ♦

NY Post –  President Trump reportedly tore into Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday, demanding the leader resist strikes on Hezbollah in an expletive-laden phone call.

The tense call came after Iran threatened to withdraw from negotiations with the US after Israel ordered strikes on terrorists in southern Beirut — with Axios reporting the president at one point asking, “What the f–k are you doing?”

“You’re f–king crazy. You’d be in prison if it weren’t for me. I’m saving your ass. Everybody hates you now. Everybody hates Israel because of this,” a US official told Axios, summarizing Trump’s comments.

Another source described Trump as sounding “pissed,” and claimed the president “steamrolled” the Israeli prime minister on the call.  “Bibi said, ‘OK, OK, just make sure everything is taken care of,’” the second official said. 

The president was reportedly aware Hezbollah had been firing on Israeli troops but concerned that Netanyahu was disproportionately escalating the situation — and potentially hurting US negotiations with Tehran. 

Shortly after the call, Trump wrote in a post to Truth Social: “I had a very productive call with Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu, of Israel, and there will be no Troops going to Beirut, and any Troops that are on their way, have already been turned back. (read more)

It is easy to see both sides in this dynamic.

It is also easy to see how Iran can manipulate the Hezbollah third-party aspect against Israel, as Iran previously did directly with attacks against Saudi Arabia.  Iran demanding Israeli attacks against their friends in Hezbollah must stop in order to negotiate.  When the attacks stop, Iran then tells their friends to attack Israel.

This is the duplicitous evil within the approach of Iran that Saudi Arabia and the Gulf States have previously said makes negotiations with Iran impossible.

Brent crude surged as much as 7.1% above $97.50 and WTI climbed over $94.50 per barrel on Monday, reversing recent declines. The rally was driven by fears over the Strait of Hormuz and potential closure of Bab el-Mandeb, both critical to global oil flows. Analysts warn that even with a deal, supply relief would be gradual, while disruptions could keep prices elevated despite weak demand in China and Europe.

Analysts outline two scenarios: a credible peace deal could trigger an immediate $20 per barrel drop as Gulf shipping resumes, or prolonged deadlock could push prices toward historic highs if chokepoints remain blocked. Iran’s leverage over Hormuz and demands for larger concessions suggest talks could drag on. With inventories falling and reserves depleting, a mid-year supply crunch looms if diplomacy fails {source}

So what's changed from Sky News????? Absolutely nothing. Trump's tit is caught in a wringer and he can't get loose. These two clowns are making it tooooo easy for Iran to just wait and see. Talk about over a barrel! Of OIL that is. Any time Trump (or maybe Bibi also) wants a profit they short oil stocks then claim a peace deal is imminent stocks drop and profit raked in. How many times has the market dipped and surged on little hands announcements in the last 3 months????

RFK Jr. said doctors found a dead worm in his head after it ate part of his brain

By 

Isabel Keane

Published May 8, 2024

 Updated May 8, 2024, 6:11 p.m. ET

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. claimed in a deposition taken more than a decade ago that a worm ate part of his brain before dying inside his head.

RFK Jr., now 70, made the bizarre admission during his 2012 divorce proceeding, detailing “cognitive problems” he initially feared were a brain tumor — only for a second doctor to tell him the dark spot on his scans were a dead parasite, according to the New York Times.

Before getting a second opinion, Kennedy had been set to undergo surgery at Duke University Medical Center in North Carolina by the same doctor who operated on his uncle, Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.), who died of brain cancer in 2009.

However, a doctor at New York-Presbyterian Hospital called Kennedy while he was packing for the trip and said he believed the abnormality “was caused by a worm that got into my brain and ate a portion of it and then died,” the candidate recalled in the transcribed interview.

 

The video player is currently playing an ad.

Kennedy said he did not know when he may have contracted the parasite, but suggested it might have been during an earlier trip to South Asia. Doctors interviewed by the Times suggested it was likely a pork tapeworm larva, which have been known to cause seizures, headaches, and dizziness when they start to die.

RFK Jr. also said during the 2012 deposition that he suffered from mercury poisoning after eating too many tuna fish sandwiches, which one doctor told the Times was probably the actual cause of Kennedy’s neurological issues.

“I have cognitive problems, clearly,” the son of the late attorney general and senator from New York said at the time. “I have short-term memory loss, and I have longer-term memory loss that affects me.”

Kennedy said he suffered from “severe brain fog” and had trouble retrieving words around the same time that his mercury levels were 10 times what the Environmental Protection Agency considers safe.

The vaccine-skeptic politician said he was certain his diet was causing the issue.

“I loved tuna fish sandwiches. I ate them all the time,” he said.

At the time he disclosed his health issues, Kennedy was in the process of divorcing his second wife, Mary Richardson Kennedy, and was arguing that his earning power had been reduced by his medical problems.

The longtime environmental lawyer added that he made several changes following the two health scares, including getting more sleep, traveling less and consuming less fish.

The septuagenarian has used his relative youth to make the case for his insurgent candidacy against former President Donald Trump, 77, and President Biden, 81.

When asked if his health issues would impact his ability to serve as president, a spokesperson for the Kennedy campaign told the Times, “That is a hilarious suggestion, given the competition.”

Wednesday evening, Kennedy tweeted a joking offer to “eat 5 more brain worms and still beat President Trump and President Biden in a debate.”

 

“I feel confident of the result even with a six-worm handicap,” he added on X.

 

The longshot candidate has suffered from a variety of health issues over the years, including atrial fibrillation, a common heartbeat abnormality that increases the risk of stroke or heart failure.

Kennedy also said in the deposition that he had been treated for hepatitis C caused by heroin use in his youth.

The migrating larva form a cyst and walls itself off from the host body so that it's immune system can't detect it and remains dormant. They have no mouth parts but absorb nutrients directly so no way it 'ate his brain'. The problem is if it dies the corpse is attacked by the immune system and there can be problems with infection and getting rid of it. (specially if it impairs the area of the brain where conspiracy theories are resolved and rejected as nonsense) RFK looks like the proverbial nice old grandfather but is a wacko for his crazy theories and ideas. Just another nut job of the kind Trump loves to have around him to make him look less ignorantly stupid, and a fall guy for WTSHTF.
