Donald Trump's latest White House medical report, released late on Friday in Washington, claims the 79-year-old is in 'excellent health' and that bruising on his hands is simply the result of 'frequent handshaking' and aspirin use, a conclusion that some online critics have branded a 'total joke.'
The news came after the White House quietly published the health summary at about 11 p.m., an hour more commonly associated with burying bad news than celebrating a clean bill of health. The document, prepared by Trump's physician, Dr. Sean Barbabella, following tests at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on Tuesday, immediately triggered a familiar cycle of scrutiny, scepticism and partisan spin over Trump and his fitness to remain in office.
