Trump’s Medical Check Sparks Anger, Fuels Brain Speculation
President Donald Trump is scheduled for a “routine” medical checkup at Walter Reed Medical Center, reigniting questions about the 79-year-old’s health. Trump maintains he is in “great shape” and has no cognitive impairment, citing perfect scores on cognitive exams, including the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA). The White House announced the visit would include a meeting with troops and a yearly check-up, following previous revelations of chronic venous insufficiency and other visible signs of aging, like swollen ankles and bruised hands. Trump also expressed a belief that all presidents should undergo a cognitive exam.
