  • The visit, which includes comments to troops, arrives amid heightened public scrutiny as Trump will address troops at Walter Reed before his routine checkup.
  • As the oldest elected president, Trump faces intensified scrutiny of his fitness and contrasted himself with Joe Biden during last year's presidential campaign.
