Trump's 5-Hour Physical Exam Sparks Speculation

In an unexpected twist, former President Donald Trump underwent a staggering nearly 5-hour physical examination at Walter Reed Medical Center, leaving many to question the state of his health in light of his recent bruising incident.

Arriving at the medical facility at 11 a.m. and departing close to 3:45 p.m., Trump's lengthy examination contrasts sharply with the average duration of around 2.5 hours for prior presidents like Joe Biden. Notably, Biden opted out of a cognitive exam, which typically lasts a mere 15 minutes.

Trump's Optimistic Outlook Amid Concerns

Despite the extended exam, Trump took to Truth Social, declaring he has 'never felt better.' Interestingly, at 78, he is the oldest president to begin a second term, which adds another layer of scrutiny to his health.

A History of Glowing Reports on Trump’s Health

Trump has consistently received robust health assessments from his doctors over the years. Back in 2012, his physician famously claimed he was the 'healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency,' while another doctor in 2018 praised his 'great genes.'

Recent Bruise Incident Raises Red Flags

This latest physical comes shortly after Trump's appearance with a conspicuous bruise on his right hand, which surfaced during a meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron. Speculations have soared, with one doctor attributing it to an 'aggressive handshake,' while others suggested that Trump's tanning habits and possible use of blood-thinning medications could be a factor.

Social Media Reactions: A Mixed Bag of Concern and Jokes

As news of the lengthy exam spread, social media exploded with opinions ranging from concern to skepticism. Many users questioned the validity of the results, suspecting that the Trump administration wouldn’t disclose the complete truth.

One user on X exclaimed, 'What kind of physical takes 4 hours and 45 minutes? Seems sus,' while another remarked sarcastically about the upcoming glowing health report Trump was likely to receive.

Trump's Weekend Plans Draw Criticism

Adding fuel to the fire, some critics pointed out that Trump’s busy schedule included a golf getaway to Mar-a-Lago right after his physical. One user quipped, 'We need him to just golf every day, tbh,' prompting laughs as others joined in on the banter.

As questions linger about Trump’s health, one thing is clear: this exam has undoubtedly stirred a pot of speculation and humor alike.
