President Trump underwent his third medical examination since returning to office during a visit to Walter Reed Medical Centre near Washington on Tuesday. The check-up occurred days before his 80th birthday on June 14. Trump posted on social media that everything had checked out perfectly while returning to the White House.
Speculation about the president’s condition has grown after observers noted bruising on his hand and apparent sleepiness during meetings. The White House has not yet released detailed results from Tuesday’s exam. This marks the third examination since Trump took office last year.
He received a scheduled check-up in April 2025 and an unannounced visit in October that officials also described as annual.
The president has faced repeated criticism over limited disclosure of his health information. The White House decides how much detail to release from the examination. The visit comes as planning proceeds for a UFC bout scheduled on the White House lawn to mark Trump’s birthday on June 14.
“Everything checked out PERFECTLY.”
