US President Donald Trump is set to turn 80 next month. Last Tuesday, he completed his physical examination at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Maryland. Following the examination, Trump stated that everything regarding his health is ‘absolutely fine.’ For the past year, there had been considerable discussion regarding some minor health issues he was experiencing. It was against this backdrop that the US President made these remarks concerning his health.

In a brief post shared on the social media platform ‘Truth Social,’ Trump announced that he had undergone his routine health checkup. However, he did not provide any detailed information regarding the examination itself. Trump frequently asserts that he is more energetic and physically fit than his predecessor, Joe Biden. Biden stepped down from the presidency last year at the age of 82.

Despite Trump’s claims of being fit, various questions continue to arise regarding his health. Recently, some reddish spots or rashes were observed on his neck. Prior to this—in July 2025—photographs surfaced showing swelling in his ankles and bruising on his hands. At the time, attempts were reportedly made to conceal the marks on his hands using makeup.

Sean Barbabella, a White House physician, stated that Trump is using a standard cream to treat the spots on his neck. He characterized this treatment as a ‘preventive measure.’ The physician noted that these issues are not serious; specifically, no symptoms of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) or any arterial disease were detected.

White House spokesperson Caroline Leavitt informed reporters that the swelling in Trump’s legs is merely a common venous issue. She further explained that the bruising on his hands resulted from shaking hands with a multitude of people.

Last October, Trump underwent an MRI scan. Regarding the results of that examination, Dr. Barbabella remarked that the biological age of Trump’s heart is at least 14 years younger than his actual chronological age.

There has also been discussion surrounding instances where Trump appeared to doze off during several important meetings. However, addressing this matter with officials, Trump reportedly said: “I wasn’t actually sleeping. I simply had my eyes closed because I wanted to get out of there quickly.”
