Trump said on Truth Social that his latest 6-month physical at Walter Reed "checked out PERFECTLY," after the White House released a weekend memo saying he remains in excellent health.
55% of Americans now think Trump is not healthy enough to serve effectively, according to a Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll cited in the report, up from 28% three years earlier.
Tuesday's visit was described as Trump's third in-person doctor visit in a little over a year, following a mid-April physical, an October semiannual physical and multiple dental appointments.
The report says shifting explanations about bruised hands and whether Trump underwent an MRI or CT scan have fueled skepticism about how fully his health is being disclosed.
At 79 and turning 80 next month, Trump faces heightened scrutiny as the oldest person to assume the presidency, with critics tying health concerns to recent erratic public behavior.
