Donald Trump’s doctor has said he has “no concerns” about the state of the US president’s mental health, despite recent concerns raised about whether he was fit for duty.

Ronny Jackson told reporters that the President scored 30-out-of-30 during a cognitive screening exam requested by Trump himself.

Broadly, the doctor said the 71-year-old commander-in-chief is in “excellent” health – although he could benefit from a lower-fat diet and more exercise, the White House physician said on Tuesday.

“In summary, the president’s overall health is excellent,” Ronny Jackson told reporters.

“He continues to enjoy the significant long-term cardiac and overall health benefits that come from a lifetime of abstinence from tobacco and alcohol.”
