Experts are amazed by Trump's mental and physical resilience at the age of 78.

The focus on Donald Trump's health and stamina has been heightened by his re-election to the presidency.

Despite appearing to age quickly during their presidencies, past presidents, experts say, maintain high levels of energy and vitality eight years after being first elected, like Trump.

Trump held at least 120 rallies, town halls, and campaign events from his nomination in mid-March 2024 until the election on Nov. 5.

Dr. Brett Osborn, a Florida neurosurgeon and longevity expert, stated on Planet Chronicle Digital that Trump's attendance at 120 events in 7 months, which frequently involved multiple rallies in a single day across different states, demonstrates his immense mental and physical stamina.

In November, Trump's doctor wrote a letter stating his overall health was "excellent," which the president-elect shared on his Truth Social account.

In a letter, Dr. Bruce Aronwold of New Jersey's Morristown Medical Center stated that Trump's physical exams were within the normal range and his cognitive exams were exceptional.

With continued preventative monitoring and maintenance, the doctor stated that the patient will continue to enjoy a healthy, active lifestyle for years to come.

During an Oct. 26 podcast interview, the president-elect discussed his health.

"How are you so healthy?" Rogan asked Trump directly.

Trump stated that his good health was due to "genetics," as both his parents were also in good health.

The president-elect acknowledged that his love of golf has helped boost his health and stamina, particularly the "good, fresh air" that comes with being outside and the mental stimulation of focusing on the game.

Lifestyle vs. genetics

Trump's aging process can be observed through the lens of genetics and lifestyle, according to Osborn.

According to Osborn, who has not treated or examined Trump, research suggests that about 75% of aging is influenced by lifestyle and environment, while genetics account for only 25%.

"Research suggests that about 75% of aging is driven by lifestyle and environment, and 25% by genetics."

"Lifestyle choices can still have a significant impact on overall balance, even for those with potential genetic advantages."

Trump has stated that he doesn't smoke or drink alcohol, but he is open about consuming fast food and soda.

Osborn pointed out that avoiding alcohol and tobacco, which are significant contributors to numerous health problems, is likely to positively impact his cardiovascular and cognitive health.

The president-elect's golf outings are crucial for maintaining heart and muscle health as he ages, as the doctor emphasized.

Trump's high level of social interaction is what Osborn believes contributes to his health and stamina, beyond abstaining from alcohol and tobacco.

Osborn observed that he has a busy schedule and keeps in touch with his family and friends.

"Trump's rigorous daily routine likely supports his cognitive health as social engagement and mental stimulation are strongly associated with lower dementia risks."

Power of the mind

The president-elect possesses a high level of cognitive health, according to Dr. Marc Siegel, a clinical professor of medicine at NYU Langone Health and Planet Chronicle senior medical analyst.

Siegel stated that he had never examined Trump but had interviewed him twice previously and found him to be highly engaged and cognitively advanced. He also mentioned that Trump had taken "several" cognitive tests.

During the first term, I spoke to Sean Conley, his physician, several times, and he stated that Sean was mentally and physically fit.

"Many people who know him well tell me that."

The doctor observed that Trump has frequently spoken without a script or teleprompter, which is an advanced skill.

Trump's lack of preparation during the questioning was "evidence of his exceptional cognitive abilities and mental strength," as Osborn stated.

Osborn dismissed any claims of the president-elect's cognitive decline as "unfounded."

"Trump’s cognitive function rivals that of much younger individuals, and his stamina is evident in his ability to manage a high-energy schedule."

"Trump's cognitive abilities are comparable to those of younger individuals, and his endurance is evident in his ability to handle a demanding schedule, such as holding five rallies in five states in a single day."

These feats demonstrate that age can truly be just a number, showcasing his mental and physical resilience.

‘Strong sense of self’

A psychotherapist in Manhattan, Jonathan Alpert, stated that Trump's "strong sense of self" could potentially contribute to his stamina, although he has not examined him.

According to Alpert, the patients who experience optimal health and well-being are those who consistently practice positive thinking and maintain high self-confidence, and it is evident that Donald Trump embodies these traits.

"Despite facing numerous highly stressful situations such as indictment, assassination attempts, intense criticism, and scrutiny by the public, he maintains a strong belief in himself and adheres to his convictions."

Alpert stated that having a strong sense of purpose, social engagement, and a sense of community can promote good health and increase longevity.

"Those who feel they have control over obstacles and adversity tend to persevere, while those who are negative and feel they have no control over events don't do so well."

Trump's wellness is significantly influenced by his lifestyle choices, as agreed upon by the doctors.

Osborn stated that poor nutrition, high stress, inactivity, and a lack of social interaction can all accelerate the aging process.

"Trump's decision to abstain from smoking, drinking, and maintain an active lifestyle and social connections mitigates the negative impact of his diet."

"Who doesn't enjoy a bit of McDonald's every now and then?"
