Trump Says 'Everything Checked Out PERFECTLY' After Physical

Trump said his six-month physical at Walter Reed Medical Center checked out perfectly and thanked doctors and staff. He posted that he was heading back to the White House after the routine visit, his third since starting his second term. He is scheduled to turn 80 next month. Medical concerns were raised by a CNN medical analyst, including bruising on his hands, swollen ankles, and difficulty staying awake during some events, with a suggested diagnosis of severe daytime somnolence. Hard results from presidential physicals are delivered to the public through a White House process that requires presidential approval.

"Just finished my 6 month physical at Walter Reed Military Medical Center. Everything checked out PERFECTLY, Trump posted to Truth Social on Tuesday afternoon. Thank you to the great Doctors and Staff! Heading back to the White House."

"Earlier, CNN medical analyst Dr. Jonathan Reiner said he would like to see a better explanation for some of Trump's visible health concerns, including the bruising on his hands, which the White House has tried to explain away as a result of frequent handshakes, and swollen ankles. Reiner also raised concern about Trump's apparent inability to stay awake during some events, and offered a diagnosis of severe daytime somnolence, the uncontrollable urge to fall asleep during the day."

"But as the Associated Press reported, the hard results from presidential physicals are delivered to the public through the White House pipeline and must be approved by the president himself."
