President Donald Trump, the oldest person to assume the US presidency, is set to undergo his first physical health examination of his second term on Friday.
Trump, who turns 79 in June, is known for his love of fast food but often talks about his robust physical and mental health.
Trump, in a post on his Truth Social platform on Monday, announced the planned exam.
“I have never felt better, but nevertheless, these things must be done,” he wrote.
The White House has not commented on the exam or what would be included.
Newspot reports that the physical tests could offer the first clear look at Trump’s condition since his ear was grazed by a bullet in an assassination attempt during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, last July.
His campaign released a report by Ronny Jackson, Trump’s former White House doctor, saying that the injuries were superficial.
Meanwhile, the White House typically determines what data will be released from a president’s health exam.
The president is not compelled to release any information, and there is no template for the presidential exam.
He released only limited information about his health during his presidential campaigns.
Recall that during the 2024 election, Trump drew sharp contrasts with his predecessor, Joe Biden, now 82, claiming he was younger and fitter.
A White House doctor said in 2018, when Trump was serving his first term, that he was in overall excellent health but needed to shed weight and start a daily exercise routine.
