Trump to undergo annual physical on Friday after yrs of limited disclosures

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 US 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. Despite long questioning predecessor Joe Biden's physical and mental capacity, Trump himself 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 that's scarce on details. It will be conducted at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center and will be the first public information on Trump's health since an assassination attempt against him in Butler, Pennsylvania, last July. Rather than release medical records at that time, Texas Rep. Ronny Jackson a staunch supporter who
