Trump Set for Medical Checkup at Walter Reed on May 26

President Donald Trump is scheduled to undergo a medical and dental checkup on May 26 at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, the White House announced Monday evening. The visit marks the president's fourth publicized medical evaluation since returning to office and is described as an annual physical along with regular preventive care.

Trump, who turns 80 next month and holds the record as the oldest person elected to the presidency, has faced ongoing public scrutiny over his health. The appointment follows two recent visits to a dentist near his Florida estate, where he frequently spends weekends. It is set to occur about 10 days after Trump returns from a summit in Beijing with Chinese leader Xi Jinping.

In recent comments, Trump has emphasized his vitality despite his age. Earlier Monday at an Oval Office event, he stated, "I feel literally the same" as he did 50 years ago, adding, "I don't know why. It's not because I eat the best foods." Last week, he joked about his exercise routine, saying he works out "about one minute a day, max." Trump has previously criticized former President Joe Biden over age-related health concerns.
