Germans know next to nothing about their chancellor's health DW 04/17/2025
Briefly

A recent report claims that President Donald Trump is in excellent health, as confirmed by White House physician Sean Barbabella. The memo details Trump's health metrics and notes his active lifestyle, including golf. In contrast, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz's health remains largely a mystery, with no personal physician or public disclosure about his medical treatment. A request for information about Scholz's medical care was met with a statement of principle, revealing a stark difference in health transparency between the two leaders.
The memorandum released by White House physician Sean Barbabella states that Trump is in "excellent cognitive and physical health," fully fit for his presidential duties.
Unlike the transparency surrounding President Trump's health, the German chancellery provides minimal information, stating, "We do not comment on the chancellor's medical care on principle."
