President Donald Trump is scheduled for a medical and dental checkup Thursday at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.The appointment will be the 79-year-old Trump’s first in-person doctor visit since April 2025, according to NBC News. He will turn 80 next month and is the oldest person to assume the U.S. presidency. Trump has said he’s in excellent health.
He was diagnosed last year with chronic venous insufficiency, a benign condition that causes blood to pool in his legs.
Various reports have speculated on other possible conditions. Trump attributed visible bruises on his hands to the large doses of aspirin he takes to thin his blood, and he denied claims he’s fallen asleep during meetings.
Walter Reed is about 10 miles north of the White House, in Bethesda, Maryland.
