Trump declares himself in perfect health after physical exam
The White House said the exam showed exceptional physical health as questions persist over bruising, swollen legs and Trump’s age.
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump arrived at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center at 8:52 am for his fourth publicly disclosed medical appointment since his second term began, claiming the physical went PERFECTLY without providing examination details.
- Health scrutiny surrounding Trump has intensified as the oldest person ever inaugurated as US president, with Americans expressing doubts about his mental fitness as he approaches his 80th birthday next month and frequently closes his eyes during public events.
- White House physician Sean Barbabella attributed Trump's visible ailments to benign causes, characterizing leg swelling as a common vein condition and noting his cardiac age measured approximately 14 years younger than his chronological age via ECG.
- Trump has repeatedly defended his fitness, claiming he aced cognitive tests all three times at a rally Friday in New York, while the White House provided minimal advance notice of Tuesday's visit and Trump offered no specifics on examination results.
- Unlike his Democratic predecessor Joe Biden, who abandoned his reelection bid at age 81 citing fitness concerns, Trump has positioned himself as more energetic and fitter, though the checkup occurs amid his efforts to resolve the Iran conflict ahead of November's midterm elections.
