Former President Donald Trump revealed his intention to undergo a comprehensive physical examination on Friday, marking the first such assessment during his renewed term in office.
The announcement was made via his Truth Social platform, specifying that the examination will take place at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C., the same facility where he received treatment for COVID-19 in 2020.
In a post, Trump stated, “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!”
The former president’s overall well-being has been a subject of considerable discussion, particularly following an assassination attempt on July 13th, which he survived against the odds. Dr. Marc Siegel previously described Trump’s resilience as exhibiting “adroitness.”
Further bolstering perceptions of his vigor is a statement made months later by Florida neurosurgeon Dr. Brett Osborn, who observed that Trump’s attendance at over 120 events within seven months – frequently including multiple rallies across different states in a single day – clearly demonstrates exceptional stamina, both mentally and physically.
Despite these observations, concerns regarding the former president’s health have been voiced by Democratic figures and members of the medical community. A petition signed by over 230 doctors, nurses, and healthcare professionals, largely supporting former Vice President Kamala Harris, urged Trump to release his complete medical records.
The petition noted: “On August 20, Donald Trump said he would ‘very gladly’ release his medical records. In the 55 days since, he has yet to do so. With no recent disclosure of health information from Donald Trump, we are left to extrapolate from public appearances.”
The document continued, asserting that, “Trump is falling concerningly short of any standard of fitness for office and displaying alarming characteristics of declining acuity.”
Key Points Raised:
- Trump will undergo a physical examination at Walter Reed Army Medical Center on Friday.
- His health has been under scrutiny since an assassination attempt and subsequent recovery.
- Observations from medical professionals highlight his demonstrated stamina and activity levels.
- A petition signed by over 230 healthcare professionals calls for the release of his medical records, expressing concerns about his fitness for office.
