Donald Trump, who at the age of 78 is the oldest president ever elected in the United States, and was accused during his first term of not being transparent in his health, said Friday, April 12 on Friday, April 12 after an annual medical visit.
“In general, I had the feeling of being in a great way. A good heart. A good soul. A very good soul,” said Republican billionaire aboard his Air Force One plane.
The device took him to Florida after this medical visit that took place at the Walter Reed Military Hospital, near Washington.
Step of a cognitive test
In addition to cardiac exams, he said he had a cognitive test to be “a bit different from Biden.”
During the last presidential campaign, Donald Trump had challenged his Democratic rival several times, that he had stopped attacking his age, to submit to that test.
“I don’t know what to tell you, except that I had all the right answers,” said the Republican.
Report published on Sunday
He said that a report of these exams would be published on Sunday.
The health issue of the US President has become particularly sensitive at the end of the presidency of Joe Biden, who, completing his mandate at age 82, appeared with a management approach every day and an increasingly confused speech, where his opponent gives the appearance of a greater physical vigor.
Donald Trump does not drink alcohol and does not smoke, but does not hide his taste for soft drinks and food of fast food chains.
During the 2024 presidential race, he had already made sure he had approved a cognitive evidence and had successfully had “brilliantly”, without giving any detail.
In November 2023, the Republican had simply published a brief letter from his doctor claiming that he had “excellent” health and that he had lost weight, without specifying how much.
Since then, the billionaire has not provided a health bulletin.
Joe Biden had published very detailed reports for a long time, mentioning at his cholesterol level or the name of the medicine he took for his allergies.
Biden colonoscopy
He also had a colonoscopy under general anesthesia on November 19, 2021, during which Vice President Kamala Harris briefly carried out the presidential functions.
Donald Trump was often accused of his opponents of not being transparent in his health, especially when during the last months of his first term he had been hospitalized for several days for an infection by COVVI-19.
A former Republican doctor, Harold Bornstein, had assured that the US president had “dictated” a letter that presented him in excellent health, before being elected for the first time.
“If you were chosen, I can unequivocally affirm that Trump will be the healthy individual chosen for the presidency,” said this newsletter published in December 2015, without providing any evidence that supports this statement.
In May 2018, Dr. Bornstein, a gastroenterologist who had his cabinet in Park Avenue, not far from Central Park, said Donald Trump had “completely dictated this letter.”
