Donald Trump posted a message confirming that his annual physical examination passed perfectly and flawlessly, while many parties are closely watching his health, which has shown several abnormal symptoms recently.
On 26 May 2026, Donald Trump, the U.S. President, revealed that his annual physical exam went perfectly and "flawlessly," as his health, with his 80th birthday approaching next month, is under intense scrutiny.
This physical exam was Trump's third since returning to the White House last year and occurred amid growing speculation about his health issues, including bruises appearing on his hand and obvious drowsiness during meetings.
"Everything was checked perfectly and flawlessly," Trump posted on Truth Social while riding back to the White House from Walter Reed Military Hospital near Washington, D.C.
Donald Trump is the oldest president in history to be sworn into office and often boasts about his physical strength and intellect, especially compared to Joe Biden, the former Democratic president whose health issues caused him to withdraw from the latest election race.
He said in the White House Oval Office earlier this month, "I feel the same as I did 50 years ago," despite his preference for fast food, steak, and Diet Coke, jokingly adding, "Maybe fast food is actually good for you."
However, Trump has long faced criticism over the lack of transparency regarding his health information. Last year, he underwent two physical exams: a scheduled one in April and an unannounced hospital visit in October, sparking various rumors about his health.
Last summer, the White House disclosed that Trump was evaluated for swollen legs and diagnosed with chronic peripheral venous insufficiency, a common condition caused by faulty venous valves that leads to blood pooling, swelling, cramps, and skin changes.
This disclosure came after reports of Trump frequently showing signs of swollen ankles.
Since returning to the White House in 2025, Trump has often appeared with bruises on his right hand, usually concealed with makeup. The White House explained these bruises result from his aspirin regimen, which is part of a "standard" cardiovascular health care plan.
