President Donald Trump completes three‑hour medical exam at Walter Reed

President Donald Trump, 79, underwent a three‑hour preventive medical and dental checkup at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on May 26, 2026. The examination was his fourth publicly disclosed physical since returning to office for a second term. After the visit, Trump posted on social media that his "6 month physical" was finished and that "Everything checked out PERFECTLY," emphasizing his fitness ahead of the upcoming midterm elections.

The White House has not released specific test results, but the exam is expected to have included advanced heart testing, cancer screening and cognitive assessment, as outlined by former White House physician Dr. Jeffrey Kuhlman. Polls show less than half of U.S. adults believe Trump possesses the mental sharpness or physical health required for the presidency, underscoring the political significance of the visit.
