President Donald Trump is 80 years old and will undergo his fourth medical checkup of his second term on Tuesday.th With his birthday coming up next month, he faces questions about his health.
The White House announced earlier this month that President Trump will undergo his annual dental checkup on May 26 at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.
Trump, who turns 80 on June 14, is the oldest person ever elected to office, and his health has been in the spotlight in recent months. He experienced bruises on his hands, swelling on his lower legs, and a rash on his neck.
The president and doctors say he is in good health.
“I feel the same way I felt 50 years ago,” President Trump said at a White House event on May 4. “I’m not your senior. I’m much younger than you.”
President Trump said he believed the bruises were caused by taking aspirin, which he said was more than his doctor recommended. Aspirin prevents blood clots by thinning the blood.
Trump’s doctor, Sean Barbavera, said in a letter released by the White House last year that the swelling in the president’s legs was the result of “chronic venous insufficiency,” a benign condition that is especially common in people over 70.
President Trump has questioned former President Joe Biden’s mental sanity, prompting further scrutiny of his own abilities. He regularly states that he “passes” the cognitive tests that are part of his medical evaluation.
President Trump, who closed his eyes for long periods in public, including during a Cabinet meeting on December 2, faced questions about whether he had fallen asleep, which he denied. During that time, he has maintained a rigorous public schedule.
President Trump’s last medical examination was a CT scan in October. Barbabella said the test was “precautionary” and the results were “completely normal.”
Barbabella said the test was part of a comprehensive review of President Trump’s heart and abdominal health and was positive, adding that the test “confirms that Mr. Trump remains in good overall health.”
