Trump to undergo another medical evaluations amid claims of sound health

Donald Trump is expected to undergo his routine annual medical and dental examinations on May 26 at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, according to a statement released by the White House on Monday.

The statement said the evaluations form part of the president’s regular preventive healthcare programme and will include both medical and dental assessments.

Trump, who will turn 80 next month, has repeatedly maintained that he remains in good physical and mental condition, frequently highlighting his health status during public engagements.

The latest announcement comes months after the president underwent another major medical evaluation in October 2025. Following that examination, Trump stated that results from an MRI scan showed his cardiovascular condition remained strong.

At the time, the White House released a letter from his physician, Navy Captain Sean Barbabella, who said the president’s heart health indicators reflected a cardiovascular age significantly younger than his actual age.

“His cardiac age, a validated measure of cardiovascular vitality via ECG, was found to be approximately 14 years younger than his chronological age. He continues to maintain a demanding daily schedule without restriction,” the doctor wrote.

Trump also underwent a semi-annual medical checkup in April.

Since returning to office, the US president, regarded as the oldest individual ever inaugurated into the position, has occasionally appeared in public with visible bruising on his right hand, sometimes concealed with makeup.

The White House previously attributed the marks to aspirin medication reportedly taken as part of a routine cardiovascular treatment plan.

Last summer, the administration also disclosed that Trump had been examined for swelling in his legs and was diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, a condition linked to impaired blood flow in the veins.

Medical experts note that the condition is relatively common and can be managed through medication or specialised treatment procedures.
