Trump plans annual physical exam at Walter Reed

President Donald Trump, at 78, is set to undergo his annual physical examination next month at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, as confirmed by a White House statement from his physician, Dr. Sean Barbabella. The exact date will be announced publicly soon. Trump, who has generally appeared vigorous, has had past exams that raised transparency concerns regarding his health data. His previous evaluations suggested he should lose 10 to 15 pounds, with one indicating he was classified as technically obese at 243 pounds. Despite this, his doctors have noted no cognitive issues and praised his overall health. Trump's physical health has been a focal point in the context of his 2024 presidential campaign, particularly in comparison to younger opponents.
