(Rightallegiance.com) – President Donald Trump, 78, underwent his annual physical examination today at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, marking his first public health assessment since surviving an assassination attempt in July 2024. Ahead of the exam, Trump proclaimed on Truth Social, “I have never felt better, but nevertheless, these things must be done!”
The four-hour examination was conducted without sedation, and the White House physician reported that the president is in “very good health.” However, consistent with previous practices, the administration has not released specific details such as weight, blood pressure, or cholesterol levels. Historically, Trump’s health disclosures have been limited, often comprising brief letters from his physicians stating he is in “excellent” health without providing comprehensive data.
This physical comes at a time when the president’s health is under increased scrutiny, especially given his age and the demands of his second term. During his first term, Trump’s physician recommended weight loss and exercise, noting that he was overweight. Despite these recommendations, detailed follow-up information has been sparse.
Public and media attention to presidential health transparency remains high, particularly as both major political parties prepare for the upcoming election cycle. While Trump’s supporters view his declarations of robust health as a sign of vitality, critics argue for more detailed disclosures to assess his fitness for office. The White House has indicated that more information from today’s examination may be released in the coming days.
As the nation awaits further details, the conversation around the health and transparency of its leaders continues to be a focal point in American politics.
