White House breaks from precedent by not releasing Trump’s medical report
The silence breaks from past practice as Trump faces fresh scrutiny over his health and fitness for office, with six in 10 Americans seeing him as more erratic.
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump visited Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for a physical examination, but the White House has withheld results for three days despite Trump posting on social media that the checkup went "PERFECTLY."
- This three-day silence marks a departure from the White House's handling of prior exams, when personal physician Dr. Sean Barbabella released memos within two days and declared Trump in "exceptional health" the same day.
- Trump is approaching his 80th birthday amid intensified scrutiny; a February poll found six in 10 Americans believe he has become more erratic with age, while more than 30 medical specialists recently argued he was unfit to serve.
- Dr. Jonathan Reiner, a former cardiologist for Vice President Dick Cheney, warned the lack of disclosure will "spark concerns about the president's fitness for office." Critics argue voters are being deprived of essential information.
- White House spokesperson Davis Ingle dismissed concerns, stating Trump "remains in excellent health." Administration aides have rejected suggestions of infirmity, attributing his condition to "incredible genes" and dismissing outside criticism as politically motivated.
