Trump claims to be in "perfect health" after a medical examination at Walter Reed

Le président américain Donald Trump claimed to be in "perfect health" after undergoing a medical examination Tuesday at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Maryland, according to a statement posted on his Truth Social network.

No specific medical details were released following the visit, which the White House described as a routine checkup. The president, 79, who will turn 80 next month, did not comment on the nature of the tests performed.

This new medical assessment comes amid much speculation about the president's health. In recent months, public images have shown a rash on his neck, as well as other physical signs that have raised questions in the press and on social media.

Trump also underwent an MRI scan the previous year, though the detailed results were not made public. This is the president's third visit to the military medical center in just over a year.

Since the start of his second term in January 2025, Donald Trump has become the oldest American president to take office. This situation regularly fuels political debate surrounding his physical fitness to perform his duties.

The president, however, regularly presents himself as being in excellent health and emphasizes his vitality, particularly in comparison with his predecessor. Joe Bidenwhose age and health had also been topics of discussion during his term.

As the next political deadlines approach, these health issues continue to occupy a significant place in media coverage of the American president, without any official medical concerns having been confirmed at this stage.
