The US President published a short entry on his Truth Social website, summarizing his visit to Walter Reed Military Medical Center. “I just finished my biannual physical at Walter Reed Military Medical Center. Everything was PERFECT. Thank you to the wonderful doctors and staff! I'm going back to the White House. President DJT,” Trump wrote.

Donald Trump passed the tests. Third in 13 months
CNN predicts that in the official summary, doctors will almost certainly say that the host of the White House is in excellent condition. The television also noted that such a verdict would probably not end the discussion about the physical and mental condition of the American leader that has been going on for years.
The president's administration previously announced that Trump would undergo standard health and dental examinations on Tuesday. This is the third such visit by a White House host to Walter Reed Military Medical Center in the last 13 months – the previous visits took place in April and October 2025.
The standard for U.S. presidents is one annual check-up at this facility, unless an emergency health problem arises. During his October visit, Trump underwent an MRI, and his doctor, Sean Barbabella, explained that it was a precautionary measure.
The Washington Post reminded that presidents are not obliged to publish their medical records, and annual visits to Walter Reed have become an element of tradition.
Donald Trump has chronic venous insufficiency of the lower limbs
Trump, who made history as the oldest person elected to the office of president of the United States, will turn 80 on June 14. Last year, the White House announced that the American leader had been diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency of the lower limbs.
Both experts and the public also ask about the visible bruises on Trump's hands. According to the White House, they are related to the regular use of aspirin and frequent handshakes. Trump's drowsiness during meetings is also controversial – spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt assured that Trump only closes his eyes to “actively listen.”

In April, the New York Times noted that the unpredictable behavior and radical statements of the White House host regarding Iran and Pope Leo XIV had reignited the debate in the United States about his mental condition. In January, doubts about Trump's mental condition re-emerged when he demanded that the US take over control of Greenland, which belongs to Denmark – the argument was that he should not be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize – the American media recalled.
Democratic Party politicians have repeatedly demanded an independent medical examination of the American leader. They also considered the possibility of removing him from power on the basis of the 25th Amendment to the American Constitution, which regulates the rules for replacing the president and describes situations in which he is unable to hold office. So far, no incumbent head of state has been dismissed on its basis, and the media estimate that such a scenario is unlikely in Trump's case.
Trump himself argues that he is in excellent shape. The White House and his doctor also assure us about the Republican's “exceptional health condition.”
