President Donald Trump on Tuesday is expected to undergo his third scheduled medical checkup in 13 months, as outside physicians say they have persistent questions about the nearly 80-year-old president’s health and fitness.

Trump, the oldest president to ever be inaugurated, is scheduled to visit Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for a medical and dental visit, the White House said earlier this month. The president went to Walter Reed in April 2025 for his annual physical exam — and returned in October for what officials characterized as a “scheduled follow-up,” sparking weeks of inquiries about Trump’s diagnosis and procedures that the White House repeatedly sidestepped.

Nearly three months after the visit, Trump and the White House clarified that the president had received a CT scan. His doctor, Sean Barbabella, described the imaging as preventive “to definitively rule out any cardiovascular issues.”

While the White House has a round-the-clock medical team that can privately attend to the president if needed, Walter Reed has facilities for advanced imaging and other procedures. Trump also has made two visits to a Florida dentist since January, the White House has said, with officials saying those were for routine cleaning and care.

The White House has repeatedly said the president is in “excellent health,” including in response to questions this weekend, citing medical reports produced by White House physicians, including one from Barbabella in October that said Trump “remains in exceptional health."

Shouldn't cost more than a few billion and Trump's cohorts will pay for it.

6. I have to go to the doc's every 3 months to get my pain meds renewed.

When I had the money for regular visits to my rheumatologist, they were scheduled every 3 months. This is a maintenance schedule. Every person with a chronic disease knows the routine. Most of us aren't capable of that schedule any longer. It's one of those "luxuries" that gets pushed down to a lower priority behind food, gas, and the light bill. How wonderful our president has full access, bought and paid for by we, the taxpayers who can't afford it for ourselves. In light of this, the fracking least they could do is come clean with the diagnoses and "retire" him from the office before he nukes the whole world.

7. Until he is diagnosed with a terminal condition, this is all just speculation.

I live in a retirement community. You have no idea how many doctor’s visit’s residents can have in a week/month. A lot. At his age, sorry to say, nothing new. However, I sure do hope and pray things change with him any day now.

8. I have a health question for Kraznov

When the fuck are you going to die? Every time I hear you are close to death I get my hopes up.
