President Donald Trump is due for a check-up. Trump announced in a Truth Social post on Monday that his “long-scheduled” annual physical examination has been booked for Friday at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center. “I have never felt better,” he said, “But nevertheless, these things must be done!” Trump, 78, became the oldest American to take the presidential oath of office during his inauguration in January. Trump’s medical records became the subject of controversy during last year’s campaign, when he said he would “gladly” release them—but then never did. The president told CBS News in August that he would release his medical records, but the November election came and went with only his opponent, Kamala Harris, making her medical report public. “Please do see the irony,” Harris told voters in October. “On the one hand, Donald Trump won’t let anyone see his medical records. I gave up mine! And on the other hand, they want to get their hands on your medical records.”
