The White House confirmed on Monday evening that Donald Trump will travel to the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on 26 May for a combined medical and dental evaluation — his fourth documented visit to see doctors since the start of his second term. The White House described the appointment as covering 'the President's routine annual dental and medical assessments as part of his regular preventive health care,' according to a statement reported by Just the News. Trump, who celebrates his 80th birthday on 14 June, is the oldest person ever to hold the US presidency.
The announcement arrives amid sustained public and political scrutiny. Two visits to a Florida dentist, one in January and another in early May, were absent from the president's official schedule. Dr Jonathan Reiner, a cardiologist who spent 30 years serving the late Vice President Dick Cheney, publicly questioned the pattern on X. 'There's been such lack of candour about the health of the president that even a visit to the dentist raises questions,' he wrote, adding: 'The WH has a dental operatory (Pres Biden had a root canal there) so why a Sat morning visit in Florida? Maybe he just likes this dentist.'
