唐纳德·特朗普总统自 2025 年 1 月重返白宫以来，已接受四次被公开化的健康检查，最近一次检查时间为 2026 年 5 月 26 日，地点在 Walter Reed Medical Center。特朗普在接受预约后坚称自己处于“完美健康”，并在 Truth Social 发布称“一切都完美无缺（PERFECTLY）”。然而，屡次就诊引发了公众对其身体状况的担忧，因为他正接近 80 岁生日。曾担任奥巴马、布什和克林顿时期白宫医生的 Jeffrey Kuhlman 博士告诉《洛杉矶时报》，对总统身体健康的担忧“可能处于史上最高水平”，并将高级的身体年龄作为首要担忧。
April 2025 Checkup — Abnormalities Documented
Trump's first Walter Reed appointment of his new tenure occurred on April 11, 2025, months after his January inauguration. His physician, Sean Barbarella, examined Trump through multiple specialists and tests, according to the source.
In a memo to White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, Barbarella stated the president "remains in excellent health, exhibiting robust cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, and general physical function." The doctor noted Trump's "active lifestyle" and stated he was "fully fit to execute the duties of the Commander-in-Chief and Head of State."
However, Barbarella highlighted "abnormalities" in the memo, including scarring to Trump's right ear—following the attempted assassination in Butler, Pennsylvania in 2024—and findings of "diverticulosis and a benign polyp" discovered during a colonoscopy carried out in July 2024.
July 2025 Checkup — Bruising and Swelling
Images captured in the months following the April checkup appeared to show Trump with swollen ankles, bruising on both hands, and a visible rash on his neck. Growing public speculation about these conditions prompted a second examination by Barbarella outside of Walter Reed.
In a fresh memo, Barbarella stated the president had "mild swelling in his lower legs." The "comprehensive examination" uncovered chronic venous insufficiency, a condition in which damaged veins struggle to send blood back to the heart. Barbarella concluded the condition was "benign and common."
Regarding the hand bruising, Barbarella attributed it to "consistent with minor soft tissue irritation from frequent handshaking and the use of aspirin," noting Trump takes aspirin as part of a "standard cardiovascular prevention regimen."
This explanation drew skepticism from Dr. Jonathan Reiner, a cardiologist who served former Vice President Dick Cheney. Speaking to the Washington Post, Reiner stated the explanation "doesn't make sense," saying: "If you're taking too much aspirin, one would likely take less aspirin. So that explanation doesn't make a lot of sense to me. We've seen a similar bruise from time to time on his left hand, and I doubt he's shaking hands with his left hand." Reiner accused the White House of "a lack of candor."
October 2025 Checkup — Cardiac Age Assessment
Trump made his next trip to Walter Reed in October 2025, described by White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt as both a "scheduled follow-up evaluation" part of his "ongoing health maintenance plan" and a "planned meeting and remarks with the troops."
Barbarella reported the visit included advanced imaging, laboratory testing, and preventative health assessments conducted by a multidisciplinary team of specialists. Trump received preventive health screenings and immunizations, including annual influenza and updated COVID-19 booster vaccinations in preparation for a planned overseas trip.
In his memo, Barbarella stated: "President Trump continues to demonstrate excellent overall health. His cardiac age—a validated measure of cardiovascular vitality via ECG—was found to be approximately 14 years younger than his chronological age. He continues to maintain a demanding daily schedule without restriction."
Trump revealed details about the visit, stating he underwent an MRI scan and took a cognitive test which he "aced." Discussing the scan, he said: "It wasn't the brain because I took a cognitive test and I aced it."
2026 年 5 月检查——例行评估
特朗普在 2026 年 5 月 26 日的访问，代表其新任期内的第三次 Walter Reed 预约，也是第四次整体被公开化的医疗检查。白宫将其定位为例行的“年度牙科和医疗评估”。据白宫官员称，该标准访问持续约 3 小时半，细节预计“在接下来的一两天内”公布。
特朗普在返回白宫后立即在 Truth Social 发布：“刚刚在 Walter Reed Military Medical Center 完成了我为期 6 个月的体检。一切都完美无缺（PERFECTLY）。谢谢那些杰出的医生和工作人员！”
更多细节可能需要相当长时间才会浮出水面。据消息源称，直到 12 月时，才公布此前一次访问中 Barbarella 的备忘录。没有任何法律要求必须向公众披露总统医疗信息，但巨大的压力迫使特朗普政府在去年发布相关信息。
