"All test results are PERFECT", US President Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social on 26/5, after leaving Walter Reed National Military Medical Center to return to the White House.

This marked President Trump's third medical examination since his return to the White House early last year. The check-up comes amid ongoing speculation about his health, fueled by concerns over hand bruises and apparent drowsiness during meetings.

The White House later posted a photo of Trump on social media with the caption, "certified perfect health!". Doctors are expected to release a summary of the US leader's medical examination results in the coming days, though it remains unclear how much information will be made public.

Trump stated the 26/5 examination was a "6-month routine check-up", despite the White House previously announcing it as an annual dental and medical examination. His last scheduled annual health check-up was in 4/2025. However, in 10/2025, he underwent another hospital examination without prior announcement.

Information regarding President Trump's health has garnered increased attention as he consistently asserts his physical and mental vitality far surpasses that of his predecessor, Joe Biden.

Trump will turn 80 on 14/6. "I feel no different than 50 years ago", the US leader stated at a White House event earlier this month. He admitted his fondness for fast food, steak, and Diet Coke, adding, "Maybe junk food is good for health".

According to a comprehensive health check-up in 4/2025, President Trump is 1,91 m tall and weighs nearly 101,6 kg, a reduction from 110,2 kg in 2019. He denies using weight loss medication, frequently stating that he "passed with flying colors" a cognitive test that previous presidents had not taken.

The health of US presidents consistently draws public interest. Last year, the White House disclosed that Trump suffers from chronic venous insufficiency after he repeatedly appeared with swollen ankles. Bruises on his right hand also drew attention, which the White House explained were a side effect of aspirin taken as part of a "standard" cardiovascular health regimen.

At several White House events, President Trump was also observed closing his eyes for a few seconds, though he has repeatedly denied falling asleep.

Following his 10/2025 examination, he declared that MRI results showed his cardiovascular health was "excellent". Navy Colonel Sean Barbabella, the US leader's personal physician, commented at the time that President Trump's cardiovascular age was "14 years younger than his actual age".

Former President Joe Biden had to abandon his bid for a second term at 81 years old in 2024. He was also the oldest person to assume the US presidency until Trump returned to the White House in early 2025.
