Despite speculation about his state of health: Donald Trump's doctors certify the US president with excellent test values. His biological age is not to be noticed by the 79-year-old, it says. But on the net there is ridicule and doubt.
President Donald Trump submitted to what his doctor described as a “scheduled follow-up evaluation” at the Walter Reed Medical Center, amid new questions about the 79-year-old leader’s health. Sean Barbabella, U.S. Navy captain and the president’s doctor, stated that he was in “excellent state of general health,” according to a one-page summary published by the White House. Trump said he can “keep a demanding daily routine unfettered.”
