President Donald Trump is scheduled for his third medical checkup in 13 months at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, amid growing public concern regarding his health as he nears 80 years old. Despite the White House's assertions of his 'excellent health,' independent physicians express skepticism, citing unanswered questions about Trump's swollen legs and bruised hands. A recent Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll indicates that only 40% of Americans believe Trump possesses the mental sharpness required for the presidency, a decline from 47% the previous year. Trump's health has become a focal point in his political identity, as he often contrasts his vigor with that of his opponents, particularly President Joe Biden. Critics argue that the White House lacks transparency regarding Trump's health, with calls from lawmakers for independent evaluations to ensure accountability. As Trump prepares for his medical visit, the scrutiny surrounding his health continues to intensify, reflecting broader concerns about the fitness of aging leaders.
