Overview
- The White House, which announced the plan Monday evening, said Trump will receive his annual medical and dental exams at Walter Reed on May 26.
- The appointment marks his fourth publicly disclosed medical visit since returning to office, with the president turning 80 next month.
- After leg swelling last year, the White House medical unit diagnosed chronic venous insufficiency, and officials attributed bruising on his hands to frequent handshakes and daily aspirin use.
- The schedule includes time with service members at Walter Reed and follows a May 2 dental visit near his Florida estate, with the checkup set about 10 days after his expected return from a Beijing summit.
- Officials describe the exam as routine preventive care, and prior reports from Navy Capt. Sean Barbabella said Trump was fully fit and in excellent health.
