Donald Trump undergoes medical examination, gains weight in office
US President Donald Trump, amidst impeachment calls, was at Walter Reed National Medical Center for medical tests
This visit will be his ninth visit to the hospital since taking office. CNBC reports that the appointment wasn’t made public although the businessman’s 2018 and February 2019 physicals appeared on his public schedule.
Press secretary, Stephanie Grisham, said Trump, 73, was “anticipating a very busy 2020” and took advantage of a free time Washington to fulfill his annual routine checkup.
“The President remains healthy and energetic without complaints, as demonstrated by his repeated vigorous rally performances in front of thousands of Americans several times a week. He visited with medical staff to share his thanks for all the outstanding care they provide to our Wounded Warriors and wish them an early happy Thanksgiving,” Grisham added.
Surprisingly, the results showed that Trump had gained 7 pounds since assuming office in 2016, he currently weighs 243 pounds.
Trump’s last checkup was supervised by Dr. Sean P. Conley and involved a panel of 11 specialists.
Trump reportedly doesn’t drink alcohol or smoke but enjoys fast food, steaks and desserts. His primary form of exercise is golf.
