Rapin' Bombin' Golfin' Ballroom Buildin' Grampy heads to Walter Reed Medical Center for his 3rd visit in 13 months

Donald Trump is scheduled to visit Walter Reed Medical Center on Tuesday for a medical and dental checkup — his third hospital visit in 13 months — as former White House physicians publicly question the administration's transparency about the 79-year-old president's health, according to a report by the Daily Mail.

Trump previously visited Walter Reed in April 2025 for his annual physical and returned in October for what the White House described as a "scheduled follow-up." The latest visit comes as Trump has appeared at public events with a growing number of bruises and red marks on his hands and neck, and has repeatedly been photographed with visibly swollen ankles.

"This White House just doesn't seem to want to acknowledge any physical ailment, but older people develop medical issues, and the President is almost 80 years old," former White House cardiologist Jonathan Reiner, who served under Vice President Dick Cheney, told the Daily Mail. "There just seems to be a lack of candor from the White House."

The concerns are registering with the public. Just 40 percent of Americans now believe Trump has the mental sharpness to serve as president, according to a Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll conducted in April — a seven-point drop from 47 percent in September. On physical fitness, 44 percent say he is up to the job, down sharply from 54 percent.

It would be nice if the doctor would say, "Mr. Trump, it's time to give up the high-stress job you have and just play golf all the time. Everyone will keep calling you Mr. President."
