Trump Heads to Walter Reed for Annual Physical Exam
Trump Heads to Walter Reed for Annual Physical Exam
President Donald Trump is heading to get his annual physical on Friday after declaring earlier this week that he's "never felt better."
The 78-year-old announced the medical appointment on his Truth Social account, writing, "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."
"I have never felt better, but nevertheless, these things must be done!" Trump added.
The president left the White House midday Friday and arrived at the facility in Bethesda, Maryland, around 12:43 p.m. local time.
Trump's physical comes less than a year after he survived an assassination attempt in Pennsylvania while on the campaign trail.
At the time, Trump released a letter from his former physician Ronny Jackson, who wrote that "it is an absolute miracle he wasn’t killed."
"The bullet passed, coming less than a quarter of an inch from entering his head, and struck the top of his right ear," Jackson added.
Months later, in November, Florida neurosurgeon Dr. Brett Osborn told Fox News Digital that Trump remained in good health.
"The fact that he attended 120 events in seven months, often multiple rallies in a single day in different states, is proof-positive that Trump has a tremendous amount of stamina, mentally and physically," Osborn noted.
But Democrats have disputed Trump's health in the past, and members of the medical community have demanded Trump release his medical records. In an open letter from Oct. 13, over 230 doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals asked for a record release.
The physical on Friday will be the first one of Trump’s second term in office.
In 2020, during his first administration, Trump was treated for COVID-19 at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center.
