President\u00a0Donald Trump\u00a0had another\u00a0medical exam\u00a0on Tuesday, putting his health under renewed public scrutiny as he has\u00a0worked to dismiss concerns\u00a0over his age and stamina.<\/p>\n

The 79-year-old president traveled to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for what the White House described as\u00a0annual preventive medical and dental checkups. Trump arrived at the Bethesda, Maryland, facility\u00a0just before 9 a.m. and left roughly three and a half hours later. In a social media post after the visit, Trump said that he had just finished his \u201c6 month physical\u201d and that \u201cEverything checked out PERFECTLY.\u201d<\/p>\n

It was Trump’s fourth publicly disclosed\u00a0medical exam\u00a0since he returned to office for a second term, and it comes as he tries to project strength ahead of\u00a0midterm elections\u00a0that will test his sway with voters.<\/p>\n

For decades, administrations have released selected results from presidential physicals, offering the public a glimpse at the commander-in-chief\u2019s health. But the results are filtered through the White House and must be approved by the president, raising questions about what the public does and doesn’t get to see. <\/p>\n

Trump turns 80 next month and was the oldest person elected U.S. president. His predecessor, former President Joe Biden, was 82 when he left office, dropping out of the 2024 presidential race because of widespread concerns he was too old for the job.<\/p>\n

A Washington Post\/ABC News\/Ipsos poll conducted in April found that less than half of U.S. adults think Trump has the mental sharpness or physical health to serve effectively as president.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think concern for the president\u2019s physical health is probably at an all-time high, and I think advanced physical age is the No. 1 concern,\u201d said Dr. Jeffrey Kuhlman, who served as a White House physician for more than a decade under former presidents Barack Obama, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton.<\/p>\n

For a president of Trump\u2019s age, a complete physical would be expected to include advanced heart testing, screening for common cancers and a cognitive assessment, along with basics like height, weight and blood pressure, Kuhlman said.<\/p>\n

The White House has not disclosed what the visit will entail, but expressed confidence in what it will show.<\/p>\n

\u201cPresident Trump is the sharpest and most accessible President in American history who is working nonstop to solve problems and deliver on his promises, and he remains in excellent health,\u201d White House spokesperson Davis Ingle said in a statement.<\/p>\n

No law requiring presidents to disclose their medical records<\/h2>\n

In the weeks leading up to his visit, Trump has been saying he feels as good as he did five decades ago \u2014 even as he jokes about his fondness for fast food and his minimal exercise regimen. Yet he\u2019s also sensitive to perceptions about his age, noting that he takes extra caution descending the steps from Air Force One to avoid headlines about a stumble.<\/p>\n

There is no formal law requiring presidents to publicize their health records, and the degree of transparency has varied by administration. Trump\u2019s past reports have been criticized for offering scant detail and reporting statistics that some medical experts eyed with skepticism.<\/p>\n

At public appearances, Trump is often seen wearing makeup to conceal bruising on his hands, which the White House attributes to handshaking and regular aspirin use. He has sometimes appeared drowsy during meetings and closed his eyes for long stretches, though he denies having fallen asleep.<\/p>\n

Trump often boasts of having \u201caced\u201d cognitive tests while frequently deriding Biden, who faced questions about his mental acuity. Some of Trump\u2019s previous physicals have included the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, used to screen for dementia and cognitive impairment. His physicians reported a score of 30 out of 30 for Trump at 2018 and 2025 checkups.<\/p>\n
