Trump to undergo annual physical exam on Friday

President Trump will undergo his annual physical exam on Friday at Walter Reed Medical Center, he announced Monday.

"I am pleased to report that my long scheduled Annual Physical Examination will be done at Walter Reed Army Medical Center on Friday of this week," Trump posted on Truth Social. "I have never felt better, but nevertheless, these things must be done!"

Presidents typically visit Walter Reed in Maryland for an annual physical, and the results are released by the White House physician.

Trump is set to turn 79 in June. He will be 82 at the end of his term, which would make him the oldest individual to hold the office by just a few months over former President Biden when he left office in January.

Trump has released limited information about his physical health since he left office in 2020.

His campaign released a letter from his personal physician in November 2023 that described the former president as having “excellent health,” but provided few specifics about his most recent exam.

Trump and his campaign also shared relatively little information about his recovery or any lingering health effects after he was grazed by an assassin's bullet in July 2024. Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Texas), a former White House physician, said he examined the president's wound on his ear at the time.

The presidential campaign of former Vice President Kamala Harris pressed Trump to release his medical records, particularly after Biden's age had become a flashpoint in the 2024 campaign.
