Donald Trump’s health exam and missing finasteride drug spark scrutiny

President Donald Trump received a clean bill of health from his physician, who described the president as fit despite his weight of 239 pounds. Media commentary criticized the examination, with CNN hosts labeling Trump’s health as “bad” and noting he is close to the obesity threshold.

Separately, analysis of Trump’s medical records revealed the hair‑loss medication finasteride has not appeared on his reports since he returned to office. Finasteride also lowers prostate‑specific antigen (PSA) levels, and doctors noted Trump’s PSA has risen from 0.1 to 1.0. The absence of the drug and the PSA increase have prompted questions about possible prostate health concerns.

Both developments have raised calls for greater transparency regarding the president’s health status.
