Trump's fourth medical exam of second term raises health questions

President Donald Trump, who turns 80 on June 14, will undergo his fourth publicly disclosed doctor's appointment since his second term began. The visit to Walter Reed National Military Medical Centre on Tuesday was announced by the White House as involving routine annual dental and medical assessments. However, the May 11 announcement has intensified scrutiny of Trump's health, which has been a topic since his first campaign. This will be his third known dental visit this year, exceeding the typical biannual check-ups, and follows three doctors' appointments last year. The examination comes at a politically challenging time, with the US engaged in a conflict with Iran that has disrupted the global economy, and as Trump seeks to project vigor despite his age.
