WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump had another medical exam on Tuesday, putting his health under renewed public scrutiny as he has worked to dismiss concerns over his age and stamina.

The 79-year-old president spent more than three hours at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for what the White House described as preventive medical and dental checkups. It was Trump’s fourth publicly disclosed medical exam since he returned to office for a second term, and it comes as he tries to project strength ahead of midterm elections that will test his sway with voters.

In a social media post after the visit, Trump said that he had just finished his “6 month physical” and that “Everything checked out PERFECTLY.”

1. Is he going to start bragging about his cognitive tests again...

4 in a row, perfect scores…no president ever had such high scores, especially after 4 times.

2. Glad AP had the stones to include these paragraphs

A Washington Post/ABC News/Ipsos poll conducted in April found that less than half of U.S. adults think Trump has the mental sharpness or physical health to serve effectively as president.

“I think concern for the president’s physical health is probably at an all-time high, and I think advanced physical age is the No. 1 concern,” said Dr. Jeffrey Kuhlman, who served as a White House physician for more than a decade under Presidents Barack Obama, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton.

3. Three hours for preventive medical and dental checkups?

I wish my health insurance was that lenient.

[intrepidity]

8. And you know none of it was sitting in a waiting room

Maybe getting blood results before proceeding with ... whatever?

Maybe some root canals (I hope)?

4. Why Did It Take 3 Hours?

Something serious must be going to for them to take 3 hours.

6. Maybe it takes that long to recharge his battery.

[The Madcap]

11. Or graft in another brain...

[RockRaven]

5. I like presidents who don't require three hour medical visits.

7. Did they add new animals to his list? nt

9. Poor vocabulary

More of his poor vocabulary.

Trump either describes something as the best ever or perfect; or worst ever or terrible.

He is not about to describe his physical or medical tests as worst ever or terrible.

Did they do brain imaging for Frontotemporal dementia?

10. I like how the press rarely questions whether truth social posts come from Trump

They always report Trump “says” or “declares” rather than his “account posted” because it gives the impression that he has constant interaction with the press. I’m not sure he hasn’t, but to my knowledge, he rarely if ever has press interaction after these visits. It might be because he’s receiving treatments rather than getting checked out and isn’t in top form?
After all the press speculation about Biden’s health, I’m disappointed that the press participates in the illusion that Trump makes every post and is more visibly engaged than he is while somewhat ignoring all but his most grievous posting, sleeping and speech gaffes. I think it has been instrumental in maintaining support from both his base and, more importantly, the less engaged conservative voter.

12. Liar. I'll never believe anything he says, and besides, who among the cowards surrounding him would Amendment

him out of office? None of them! F!!!ing cowards, more concerned about their party's rule vs. the Country's.

[The Roux Comes First]

13. Of Course We Can Just Take His Word for It!

The absolute poster-child for unreliable witness.

If his lips are moving, he's lying, as someone once said.

[in2herbs]

14. Is he going back to the WH or straight to Camp David???? nt

[City Lights]

15. 3 hours, eh?

Seems suspicious to me!

[LudwigPastorius]

16. 3 hours?

[Torchlight]

17. Seven dental checkups in two and half months seems rather sketchy

I'm kinda surprised he doesn't use a quick nine holes as his excuse... at least then he has a plausible excuse to return once every (app.) 9.25 days.
