Overview

  • President Donald Trump underwent a comprehensive physical examination at Walter Reed Medical Center on April 11, 2025, spending over five hours undergoing various tests.
  • Trump stated that he took a cognitive test during the exam and claimed to have answered every question correctly, emphasizing the importance of mental fitness.
  • This marks the first detailed update on Trump's health since an assassination attempt in July 2024, where he sustained a superficial gunshot wound to his ear.
  • The White House has pledged to release the full results of the exam on Sunday, April 13, with Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt describing Trump as being in 'very good shape.'
  • The exam is seen as an effort to address ongoing scrutiny over presidential health transparency, a topic that gained attention during Trump's campaigns and comparisons with predecessors like Joe Biden.
