US President Donald Trump is facing allegations that he is trying to hide the state of his health from the public, as his medical check results have not been published. Mr Trump, the oldest person ever inaugurated as US president, said on social media that he was in perfect health after spending several hours at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on Tuesday.

However, the White House is yet to release any results from President Donald Trump’s most recent physical exam. Mr Trump has often avoided discussing any personal health issues, placing strong emphasis on presenting himself as energetic and robust. Throughout both his campaigns and his time in the Oval Office, he frequently highlighted his mental and physical fitness as part of his public image.

This was reflected in past medical briefings as well — during his first term, his then‑physician Dr. Ronny Jackson held an unusually long press conference at Trump’s request, praising what he described as the president’s “incredible genes.”

Dr. Jonathan Reiner, a professor at The George Washington School of Medicine & Health Sciences who was the longtime cardiologist for former Vice President Dick Cheney wrote on X: "There’s no other explanation for not releasing the results of the president’s medical examination, other than not wanting the American people to know something."

He had earlier said: "It’s unimaginable to me that the White House would not release a statement about the president’s health — even the most basic statement.

"It’s going to really spark concerns about the president’s fitness for office if the White House refuses to disclose his medical report."

Several social media users have been raising questions about Trump's health.

One of the users wrote: "Trump must be seriously ill otherwise the White House would release his medical records."
