USA-TRUMP/PHYSICAL (UPDATE 2, PIX):UPDATE 2-Trump declares himself in perfect health after physical exam

WASHINGTON — U.S. President Donald Trump, who turns 80 next month, said "everything checked out perfectly" after having his physical on Tuesday at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, following a year of public attention on apparently minor health issues. Trump offered no details of the physical in a brief Truth Social post saying he had completed his six-monthly exam. Trump frequently casts himself as more energetic and fitter than Joe Biden, his Democratic predecessor who left office last year at age 82 after facing questions about his fitness for the job. Still, recent photographs showing a blotchy neck rash have added to questions about Trump's health, following images in July 2025 of swollen ankles and a bruised hand concealed with makeup. Trump, whose birthday is June 14, became the oldest person to assume the presidency when he began his second term in January 2025. The visit to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center was Trump's third in 13 months.

WASHINGTON, United States (AFP) — United States (US) President Donald Trump went for his annual medical examination on Tuesday, days before his 80th birthday and amid mounting speculation about his health. Republican Trump, the oldest president ever inaugurated, has repeatedly boasted about his mental and physical vigour compared to his Democratic predecessor Joe Biden. But Trump's medical and dental check-up at the Walter Reed Military Hospital near Washington follows questions about his apparent sleepiness in meetings and bruising on his hand. Trump arrived at the hospital at around 8:50 am (1250 GMT), an AFP reporter in the president's motorcade said. He is due to hold a policy meeting at 1:30 pm (1730 GMT) at the White House, according to daily guidance on his schedule, with the Iran war top of the agenda. The White House normally releases a summary of presidential physicals within hours or days, but the extent of the detail it gives is entirely at its own discretion. Billionaire Trump turns 80 on June 14 — an event that will coincide with a UFC cage fight held on the White House lawn that is due to be watched by thousands of spectators. Trump has long faced criticism over a lack of transparency about his health. Trump underwent two medical check-ups last year, including a scheduled one in April and an unannounced hospital visit in October that sparked fresh speculation. Last summer, the White House disclosed that Trump had been evaluated for swelling in his legs and diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency — a common condition in which faulty vein valves allow blood to pool, causing swelling, cramping and skin changes. The revelation came after Trump was seen with swollen ankles on a number of occasions. Since returning to office in 2025, Trump has also often appeared with bruising on his right hand, usually covered with makeup. The White House has attributed the marks to the aspirin he takes as part of a "standard" cardiovascular health regimen. After his October check-up, Trump said an MRI taken during the visit showed his cardiovascular health was "excellent". His doctor, US Navy Captain Sean Barbabella, wrote in a letter released by the White House at the time that Trump's cardiac age "was found to be approximately 14 years younger than his chronological age".
