Trump completes second 'yearly' checkup; physician reports 'exceptional health'

📌 Key Facts

White House physician Capt. Sean Barbabella released a memo saying President Trump is in "exceptional" and "excellent overall" health.
The memo reported Trump's "cardiac age" measured by ECG is about 14 years younger than his chronological age.
Comprehensive laboratory results were described as "exceptional," with stable metabolic, hematologic, and cardiac parameters.
Trump received preventive screenings and annual influenza and COVID‑19 booster vaccinations ahead of planned international travel.
The memo did not address visible bruising on the back of Trump's hand that had prompted speculation; the White House has previously attributed the bruising to handshaking.
Trump said he took a second annual physical as a precaution and that he feels "good" physically and mentally.

A peace plan proposed by U.S. President Donald Trump called for Hamas to free all remaining hostages and for the Israeli military to begin withdrawing from parts of Gaza in phases; the plan also proposed transferring parts of Gaza to a "technocratic" Palestinian committee and deploying a temporary security force backed by Arab states.
U.S. officials in 2025 described a two-phase approach to ceasefire negotiations in which an initial hostage release would be followed by an Israeli military pullback to a previously held boundary position, while decisions about Gaza's future governing structure could be negotiated concurrently.

Social media users on X often highlight the unusual timing of Trump's second checkup in just six months, suggesting it may relate to previously observed symptoms like hand bruising and leg swelling, which mainstream reports largely overlook.
Many X posts discuss the White House's earlier attribution of Trump's hand bruising to chronic venous insufficiency and aspirin use, providing context for visible health signs that aren't detailed in recent mainstream coverage.
X users frequently express skepticism about the transparency of White House health updates, drawing parallels to past inconsistencies during Trump's 2020 illness, a historical angle missing from current news stories.
Discussions on X emphasize concerns over potential underlying conditions like venous issues in older adults, adding a layer of public health awareness that mainstream media does not explore in relation to Trump's checkup.
Supporters on X celebrate the reported 'cardiac age' being 14 years younger as evidence of Trump's robust health regimen, a positive perspective that contrasts with more neutral mainstream reporting and isn't prominently featured.
