Trump scheduled for a third hospital checkup, as critics question his health

President Donald Trump is scheduled for a medical and dental checkup Tuesday at Walter Reed Medical Center, his third hospital visit in 13 months. The visit follows Trump's April 2025 annual physical and October follow-up appointment. Public concern about his health is mounting, as Trump appears at events with growing bruises and red marks on his hands and neck, along with visibly swollen ankles.

Public confidence in Trump's fitness has declined significantly, according to a Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll conducted in April: only 40 percent of Americans believe he has adequate mental sharpness to serve, down from 47 percent in September, while 44 percent say he is physically fit for office, down from 54 percent. Trump was diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency in July 2025.Watch the video below. Your browser does not support the video tag.
