Washington — President Donald Trump will visit doctors at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for a medical and dental checkup on May 26, the White House said Monday. The administration characterized the appointment as an annual physical and routine preventive care; it will be his fourth publicized visit to medical professionals since returning to office. The visit follows prior evaluations and public scrutiny of the president's health after imaging last year; Trump has publicly said he feels "literally the same" as 50 years ago. Officials provided no additional clinical details at the time of the announcement; the checkup occurs days before his June 14 80th birthday and could be followed by a statement from clinicians.
