US President Donald Trump is undergoing his first physical examination of his second term on Friday.
At 79 years old in June, Trump is known for his fondness for fast food but has frequently emphasized his strong physical and mental health.
He announced the medical check-up on his Truth Social platform, stating that although he feels in excellent health, it is necessary to undergo such assessments.
The White House did not respond to inquiries regarding the specifics of the exam. This medical evaluation may provide the first clear update on Trump’s health since he suffered a minor ear injury from a bullet during an assassination attempt at a rally in Pennsylvania last July.
Typically, the White House decides what health information about the president will be disclosed. Trump is not required to release specific details, and there is no standard format for presidential health exams.
In 2018, during Trump’s first term, a White House physician declared that his overall health was excellent but advised him to lose weight and start a daily exercise routine.
