US President Donald Trump will undergo a medical and dental checkup on May 26 at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.
The health checkup was confirmed by the White House on Monday, May 11, describing it as “a routine annual medical and dental evaluation as part of your regular preventive health care.”
This is his fourth disclosed medical visit since his return to office.
Trump is about to turn 80 this June, becoming the oldest person ever elected to the White House.
Trump’s health problems have increased after his public appearances, showing bruises and wounds on his hands, as well as bruising on his skin.
Trump’s doctor, Navy Captain Sean Barbabella, had stated that the bruising was caused by “frequent hand squeezing and taking aspirin.” He reportedly consumes 325 milligrams of aspirin each day, more than his doctors recommend, as a preventative measure against heart disease.
Despite increased health scrutiny, the president has dismissed all concerns. While speaking to reporters on Monday, he said he feels “literally the same” as he did 50 years ago.
“I don’t know why. It’s not because I eat the best foods,” he said.
