Trump Arrives At Walter Reed For Scheduled Physical Exam

President Donald Trump arrived at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on Thursday for his regularly scheduled physical examination, marking his third medical checkup since returning to office in January 2025.

Trump, who will turn 80 on June 14, has frequently highlighted his physical and mental fitness while serving in office. The president has repeatedly pointed to his performance on cognitive assessments, often saying he has “aced” multiple mental competency exams administered by doctors.

Observers have periodically noted visible bruising on Trump’s hands during public appearances, along with swelling in his legs. Trump has previously attributed the bruising to frequent aspirin use, while administration officials have referenced chronic venous insufficiency as the cause of the swelling.

The White House and Trump’s health team have consistently defended the president’s overall condition, arguing that he remains fully capable of handling the demands of office despite ongoing scrutiny surrounding his age.

Trump’s latest visit to Walter Reed comes as his administration remains heavily focused on multiple high-stakes issues, including ongoing tensions with Iran, negotiations surrounding the Strait of Hormuz, and the administration’s push ahead of the upcoming midterm elections.

Presidents traditionally undergo annual physical exams at Walter Reed, with summaries of the results often released publicly afterward. The White House has not yet indicated when details from Trump’s latest examination will be made available.
