Trump undergoes third medical exam amid health speculation
As he approaches his 80th birthday, US President Donald Trump underwent his third medical evaluation since resuming his role in office, amidst persistent concerns regarding his health. The examination took place on Tuesday at Walter Reed Medical Center, just days prior to his milestone birthday. Trump, who holds the record as the oldest president in US history, has often claimed superior mental and physical fitness compared to former president Joe Biden. He announced on social media that the results were "PERFECTLY" satisfactory. The check-up comes after worries about bruising on his hand and noticeable drowsiness during meetings. Following a scheduled exam in April 2025 and an unscheduled visit in October 2025, the White House is anticipated to provide updates later Tuesday, though the specifics may vary.
