Earlier Monday, Trump that he feels the same as he did 50 years ago. \u201cI feel literally the same,\u201d he said at an Oval Office event. \u201cI don\u2019t know why. It\u2019s not because I eat the best foods.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Last week, he joked about his exercise regimen, saying that he works out \u201clike about one minute a day, max.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Presidents have wide discretion over what health information they choose to release to the public. Trump\u2019s doctor reported after an annual physical exam in April 2025 that the president was \u201cfully fit\u201d to serve as commander in chief.<\/p>\n<p>His physician, Navy Capt. Sean Barbabella, said Trump was 20 pounds lighter since a 2020 checkup that showed him bordering on obesity.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/?p=4998\">Missouri\u2019s new US House map goes to court while Louisiana and South Carolina consider redistricting<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Months after the visit reported last April, Trump had a checkup after noticing what the White House described as \u201cmild swelling\u201d in his lower legs. Tests by the White House medical unit found that Trump had chronic venous insufficiency, a condition common in older adults that causes blood to pool in his veins.<\/p>\n<p>At the time, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt also addressed bruising on the back of Trump\u2019s hands that has sometimes been covered by makeup. Leavitt said it was the result of irritation from frequent handshaking and aspirin use. Trump takes aspirin to reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke.<\/p>\n<p>Trump went on to have an October medical exam that the White House called a \u201csemiannual physical,\u201d where he also got his yearly flu shot and a COVID-19 booster vaccine. He later told The Wall Street Journal that he underwent advanced imaging on his heart and abdomen in October as preventive screening.<\/p>\n<p>In his first term, Trump had at least four medical exams in office, aside from a stay at Walter Reed when he got COVID-19 in October 2020.<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>His upcoming dental evaluation follows two other recent visits to a local dentist near his estate in Florida, where Trump often spends his weekends.<\/p>\n<p>The checkup is scheduled to take place about 10 days after Trump is expected to return from a summit in Beijing with Chinese leader Xi Jinping.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/?p=4996\">Hezbollah leader urges Lebanon to quit direct Israel talks<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Donald Trump is scheduled to see doctors for a medical and dental checkup later this month.
