Donald Trump is undergoing his annual physical on Friday, potentially giving the public its first details in years about the health of a man who in January became the oldest in U.S. history to be sworn in as president.
I have never felt better, but nevertheless, these things must be done! Trump, 78, posted on his social media site of the examination which was being conducted at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, in Bethesda, Maryland, outside Washington.
Despite long questioning predecessor Joe Bidens physical and mental capacity, Trump has routinely kept basic facts about his own health shrouded in secrecy shying away from traditional presidential transparency on medical issues.
If history is any indication, his latest physical is likely to produce a flattering report thats scarce on details.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters at the White House, while Trump was being examined, that the president was undergoing his routine and long-scheduled physical. She promised a readout from the White House physician that would be released as soon as we possibly can and suggested the details would be comprehensive.
I can confirm the president is in very good shape, Leavitt said.

Annual physicals are not required of the president, so why is F47 submitting to an exam and saying that these things must be done?
I can't believe someone convinced him of it.
The results do not have to be made public either, which is why we never saw the med report on his assassination attempt.
