President Donald Trump is scheduled to see doctors for a medical and dental checkup this month — his fourth publicized visit to medical experts since returning to office — in what the White House describes as an annual physical and regular preventive care.

Trump, who turns 80 next month and was the oldest person elected U.S. president, will see his doctors at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on May 26, the White House said in a brief statement Monday evening.

The president's health has been the subject of tremendous scrutiny, so much so that Trump said he regretted getting imaging on his heart and abdomen last year because it raised public questions about his health.

Trump — who has been frequently critical of former President Joe Biden for age-related health and fitness issues — has recently remarked how good he feels despite his years. Earlier Monday, Trump that he feels the same as he did 50 years ago. “I feel literally the same,” he said at an Oval Office event. “I don’t know why. It’s not because I eat the best foods.” Last week, he joked about his exercise regimen, saying that he works out “like about one minute a day, max.”

1. Ah...

Time for another infusion if they can find a vein that hasn’t blown out yet.

[KS Toronado]

2. I can hear it already "I aced my cognitive test!"

"Doctors with tears of joy in their eyes said they'd never seen anyone ace the test before."

[Lovie777]

3. The transparent aspect of any treatment won't be exposed................

the gaslighting and rosie lies will be told as fact.

shithole is not in good health both physically nor mentally.

The GQP will continue with the brutal nightmares.

[vapor2]

36. Right, "WH is anything but transparent but we see his physical AND mental decline

[Goonch]

4. ;-{) WORKOUT

31. Obama was the President who laughed with children, not make them cry.

[Fiendish Thingy]

5. At his age, the number of doctor visits is no big deal

I’m 68, in good health for my age, and see my doctor at least four times a year for medication monitoring and other issues.

But for Trump, it’s the reason for his visits that could be concerning, given his visible symptoms.

[SamuelAdams]

7. But you don't have a medical complex in your house with live-in doctors.

Biden was old and didn't go to Walter Reed four times a year.

[Fiendish Thingy]

8. True

But the poorly written article emphasized the number of visits.

[BumRushDaShow]

11. "But the poorly written article emphasized the number of visits."

It was an AP wire service article, where the outlet selected one of AP's ever-changing headlines to use to do what they all did to tarnish Biden for 4 years, and apply that same age-shaming standard to 45.

6. Didn't he just go to the dentist last month? nt

[twodogsbarking]

9. Fourth trip that we know of.

[TBF]

10. I'm 20 years younger than Trump -

and with a chronic illness I most certainly have more than one doctor visit a year. Primary, rheumatology, hematology once per year due to a past incident (a random blood clot attributed to birth control when younger), and then as needed with others. I would be surprised if he only had a visit or two a year.

He has some nerve criticizing Biden, though, given that he clearly has his own issues even if we aren't privy to the details.

12. Many people say diaper rash can be quite bothersome.

[COL Mustard]

13. He reminds me of the old George Burns witticism from his early 90s, I believe.

I can do everything today that I could at 18. Which just shows you what a pathetic 18-year old I was.

[Permanut]

24. Another George Burns quote..

When he was 100 years old: "What am I going to die of? I've already had everything."

[PatSeg]

14. Just imagine being the doctors and dentists

who have to examine and treat him. He can't possibly be a cooperative patient.

[PatSeg]

15. Dupe

It only happens on my laptop for some reason.

[patphil]

16. I understand bat shit is suing anyone who uses the term, "bat shit crazy" in reference to Trump.

Bat shit is claiming defamation of character. Apparently bat shit doesn't like being associated with president Trump.
Bat shit was quoted as saying, " This stinks, it's derogatory, and demeaning, and we're not going to lie there and take it anymore".

[Exp]

17. Hey Donald, do yourself a favor and just die. eom

[maxsolomon]

18. Those swollen ankles have to have someone concerned.

I'm rooting for the underlying cause.

[Blumancru]

20. Nothing to worry about.

All that excess muscle and testosterone had nowhere else to go, so it ended up on his ankles. Perfectly healthy.

[Maru Kitteh]

28. I was told in A&P that's where excess grey matter collects.

[bif]

19. He's the healthiest man on the planet!

That's what the doctors will claim.

[E. Normus]

21. Let us Hope

that this will be the last physical Trump has to take. If you know what I mean.

[chowder66]

22. He should donate his brain to science asap!

[D00ver66]

23. Might as well

He’s not using it anyway

[LudwigPastorius]

25. Diagnosis: Brainous Insufficieny

[LetMyPeopleVote]

26. Statement from White House

No doubt there will be another cognitive test

[Joinfortmill]

27. As a 77 year old, I can say with some certainly he

is being treated for a rather serious chronic issue of some type. I see a primary care physician 2x per year for standard medical checks, but I see a retina specialist much more often for ongoing eye injections for a serious, chronic eye disease.

[Maru Kitteh]

29. Standard of Care in a nursing home w/24hr nursing care is Q60 days.

Every 60 days they are seen by a licenced medical provider i.e. a physician, nurse practitioner or physician assistant. That’s six visits per year.

So we have Trump with four of these visits that we know of already. It’s barely May, the fourth month of the year.

Continuing at this pace, we are talking about 12 or more outside provider visits by a man who lives in a house with it’s own hospital and dental clinic staffed by some of the best medical professionals the country has to offer.


Okay then. I can’t say with certainty what it is, but one thing is pretty obvious. It’s not nothing. That’s for sure.

[twodogsbarking]

30. I see my doc next week. She is great. Could not ask for more.

[twodogsbarking]

32. He's fine. The mind and body of a 30 year old

hunk of orange cheese.

[Rebl2]

33. My husband

has to see his doctor twice a year to keep watch on his kidney function. I have to see my rheumatologist twice a year. I don’t think it’s unusual to see doctors twice a year when you get to be that age. Just a thought.

[gordianot]

34. You have to remember he has a access to an in house Doctor 24/7.

The question would be why announce publicly ? Is this in residence of the Whitehouse or at a medical Not that I really care but I am just afraid of getting my up.




Family?
