Trump Sees 22 Specialists for Presidential Checkup, Setting New White House Record

Summary
Trump was examined by 22 medical specialists in his latest presidential checkup, a level of scrutiny that appears to exceed any publicly disclosed first-term White House physical.
The White House has not said why so many specialists were involved and has declined to identify which physicians assessed him.
Past presidential checkups involved far fewer doctors: George H.W. Bush saw 5 specialists in 1989, while George W. Bush saw 12 in his first exam.
That gap makes Trump’s 22-specialist evaluation a new benchmark for presidential medical reviews, even as key details about the exam remain undisclosed.
