The appointment on Tuesday was Trump’s third physical at Walter Reed of his second presidential term, following two visits to the military hospital in April and October of 2025. Trump, who turns 80 on June 14, did not immediately detail which exams he took or how any of the exams went in his post on Truth Social.
In his previous presidential physicals, Trump has undergone assessments including blood tests and cognitive, cardiac, pulmonary, and dermatologic exams. Trump was diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency in July of 2025, after several photos of the president showed swelling in his legs and bruising on his hands.

Presidential physical fitness and well-being have been a hot topic in the U.S. after former President Joe Biden drew scrutiny for skipping cognitive testing during his 2024 physical, as questions accrued over his cognition and physical health.

Trump’s Tuesday physical exam was a part of his “regular preventive healthcare,” as the White House said. It is under the White House’s discretion when they want to release Trump’s exam results and how much they include. In April 2025, for example, the White House released Trump’s results two days following his exam.
