Donald Trump underwent a medical examination at Walter Reed Hospital in Maryland on Tuesday. After the visit, he wrote on social media that everything looked good.
The White House stated that the visit involved routine medical and dental checkups. However, no detailed medical report has been released.
According to Oregon Live, physician Jonathan Reiner believes the public should be given more information about the president’s health.
Growing debate
In recent months, several experts have raised questions about Trump’s physical and mental condition.

A poll conducted last month by The Washington Post, ABC News, and Ipsos found that fewer than half of Americans believe Trump is physically and mentally fit to serve as president.
Bioethicist Sara Rosenthal from the University of Kentucky told the Associated Press that independent experts should assess the president’s health.
Criticism rejected
Jonathan Reiner pointed to swollen ankles, marks on Trump’s hands, and signs of severe fatigue. He also warned that sleep problems could affect both cardiovascular health and cognitive abilities.
The White House has dismissed the criticism. According to Oregon Live, spokesperson Davis Ingle believes several experts are making politically motivated statements without having personally examined Trump.
