- Trump spent over three hours at Walter Reed for preventive medical and dental checkups, his fourth disclosed exam since returning to office.
- Trump posted that his “6 month physical” was finished and “Everything checked out PERFECTLY.”
- White House spokesperson Davis Ingle said Trump is “the sharpest and most accessible President in American history” and remains in excellent health.
- Dr. Jeffrey Kuhlman noted that advanced age is the top concern for presidential health and that a full physical for a 79‑year‑old should include heart, cancer, and cognitive testing.
- Washington Post/ABC News/Ipsos poll in April found less than half of U.S. adults believe Trump has the mental sharpness or physical health to serve effectively.
Why it matters: Trump’s perfect‑health claim bolsters his campaign narrative, but a poll showing under 50% confidence in his fitness undercuts voter enthusiasm ahead of the midterms, shifting swing‑state margins.
