Trump undergoes annual physical, health concerns raised

Former President Donald Trump underwent his annual physical examination at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, marking the first check-up of his second term. Although Trump claimed to be in excellent health, with a positive self-evaluation of his heart and cognitive functions, the full medical reports are still pending, raising concerns about transparency. Trump's health has been a point of contention, especially as he often critiques the health of President Joe Biden, who is also 82. The White House stated that a report from his physician would be released soon, but it remains to be seen how comprehensive it will be given Trump's history of limited disclosures. Medical experts noted that presidential physicals serve more as public relations events designed to reassure the public about the president's fitness for office. Trump's approach to health has been scrutinized, especially considering his age and past comments on health-related topics concerning his predecessors.
