Trump will turn 80 in June, which has many wondering if he still has what it takes to run the highest office in the country, especially after making so many trips to the healthcare facility for supposedly "preventative" checkups. According to PBS, this was the fourth time he's made such a trip to the health center, which seems unusual for a sitting president.

Additionally, the publication noted that typically, the White House will release some of the details of the visit to voters.

At his age, PBS says that it likely should include some more in-depth testing of the president's heart, cancer screenings, and a cognitive assessment. However, no details have been released about what the visit actually included. Instead, a spokesperson for the president simply said that he "remains in excellent health."

However, people doubt that based on his appearances during his second term, which include instances of falling asleep during televised meetings or press conferences.

People have speculated about whether or not this is the reason that the president appears to have swollen calves, ankles, and feet in some of his appearances.

Then, in October of 2025, the president's doctor released a statement saying he was in "exceptional health," according to PBS.
