President Donald Trump says his latest physical exam “checked out perfectly” after a long medical visit at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Maryland. Multiple outlets report that the exam takes place on Tuesday and lasts more than three hours. The White House describes it as preventive medical and dental checkups. Coverage notes that this is Trump’s third medical examination within about a year and his fourth publicly disclosed exam since returning to a second term. After the visit, Trump posts on social media that he completed a “6 month physical” and that “Everything checked out PERFECTLY,” while CBS and other outlets report similar phrasing that his health is “perfect.” Several reports say the White House did not immediately release a written medical report detailing the findings. BBC coverage also frames the repeated physicals as part of a long-running public messaging practice by U.S. presidents, though the details of Trump’s clinical results remain limited in the reporting provided here. One report also notes the timing comes a day after U.S. “self-defense strikes” in southern Iran, but most outlets focus on the exam itself and Trump’s characterization of its outcome.
