President Donald Trump, once again, went for a physical at Walter Reed Hospital on Monday. And once again, the president has touted how great he did on the physical.
“Just finished my 6 month physical at Walter Reed Military Medical Center. Everything checked out PERFECTLY. Thank you to the great Doctors and Staff! Heading back to the White House. President DJT,” the president said on Truth Social.
Per The Daily Mail, this raises even more questions, starting with why Trump is having physicals every six months, rather than yearly. It was Trump’s third trip to the military hospital in 13 months. In April, he visited there and had what he termed a “perfect MRI,” although it’s not clear why he had an MRI, which is not the type of examination that typically is included in a routine physical.

“The checkup comes just weeks before Trump turns 80, and as mysterious bruises continue to raise health concerns about the man who will set the record for the country’s oldest President before he finishes out his second term,” the Daily Mail said. “At Monday’s Memorial Day service at Arlington National Cemetery, Trump’s right hand was covered with thick makeup.”
As Trump’s 80th birthday approaches, polling indicates that there’s skepticism about the president’s health.
“A Washington Post/ABC News/Ipsos survey from April found that just 40 percent of Americans believe Trump has the mental sharpness to serve as President, down from the 47 percent he scored in September,” the Daily Mail said. “Last month, 44 percent said Trump was fit enough to do the job, down from 54 percent in September.”
There’s also skepticism on social media:
Trump is not well & who knows if he’ll be able to finish his second term, despite the fact that Trump is pushing for a third term. It’s turning into a WEEKEND AT BERNIE’S presidency with Trump in the “Bernie” role. 2/2 https://t.co/vNz1OTzuTS

And Trump doesn’t lie either…right? If anyone thought a hand-picked government-paid doctor would say anything otherwise…they’re simply a fool. https://t.co/TR4bdsRZEL
