President Donald Trump will have his first physical exam of his second term today at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, according to a post he made on Truth Social. At 78, Trump remains the oldest president to take office and has often touted his strong health compared to the former President Joe Biden.
The exam will be the first official update on his health since he was grazed by a bullet during a rally in Pennsylvania last July. The White House has not provided details about the exam or what will be released publicly. Trump is not required to share results, and historically, he’s offered only limited information.
During his first term, he scored a perfect 30 on a cognitive test. Health and age were key issues in the 2024 election, with both Trump and his 82-year-old predecessor, Joe Biden, facing scrutiny. Biden regularly released health reports, but recent publications have questioned his mental fitness.
