President Trump declares ceasefire on ‘life support’ after rejecting Iran’s offer
President Donald Trump has called Iran’s cease-fire terms “incredibly weak” and said Iran is on “life support” after rejecting terms to end the war.
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump is scheduled to undergo his annual physical and dental exam on May 26, marking the nearly 80-something president’s fourth visit to a medical professional since returning to the White House.
Trump, who turns 80 on June 14, will also meet with members of the military during his visit to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, the White House said.
Trump’s health has been the focus of much attention since he became the oldest person to be elected president of the United States. President Trump denied any health concerns. “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.”
Trump then joked about his lack of exercise other than golf. “I work out a lot. Like, at most one minute a day. If I’m lucky,” he said on May 5.
President Trump underwent his first routine medical examination of his second term in April 2025, and the White House physician said his overall health was “excellent” and that he was “completely fit” to serve as commander in chief. Later, in July, he was diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency after tests showed visible swelling in his lower legs near his ankles.
President Trump followed suit in October with what the White House described as a “semi-annual physical exam.” President Trump later said he underwent an MRI scan (technically a CT scan) during his medical exam. President Trump’s doctor said the medical exam was “precautionary” and the results were “totally normal.”
The White House said additional information regarding President Trump’s visit to Walter Reed will be released at a later date.
President Trump has been sporting mysterious bruises on his hands for several months, which he believes are caused by taking large doses of aspirin every day to thin his blood. President Trump said that aspirin causes him to bruise easily and that he wears makeup to cover up the discoloration.
President Trump has also frequently mocked his predecessor, former President Joe Biden, for his mental strength, boasting that he “passed” cognitive tests associated with physical exams. This attack brought even more scrutiny to his own abilities.
President Trump has maintained an active schedule as president, scheduled to head to China on May 12 for a high-stakes meeting with President Xi Jinping. But he was also caught on camera with his eyes closed during a recent White House event. President Trump denied falling asleep and claimed he closed his eyes to relax.
