President Donald Trump gave a quick update from Air Force One after wrapping up his annual physical at Walter Reed. He was upbeat and confident, saying he believed he was “in good shape.”
“Hey, everybody,” Trump said. “Just got back from Walter Reed … I think I did well, every test you can imagine.”
He mentioned being at the hospital “for a long time” and praised the doctors. “Highly respected doctors. It’s great, amazing place.”
Asked if he needed to change anything, Trump admitted there were a few things. But he added, “I felt I was in very good shape — good heart, a good soul, very good soul.”
He then contrasted himself with President Biden. “I took — I wanted to be a little different than Biden. I took a cognitive test, and I don’t know what to tell you other than I got every answer right.”
Trump also said he took “a lot of different tests having to do with the heart, having to do with other things.” He reiterated that the report would be released on Sunday.
Earlier that day, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt promised full transparency about Trump’s physical. She didn’t hold back when discussing the Biden administration.
“I can tell you there was certainly a lack of transparency from the former president, from the entire former administration,” Leavitt said.
She added, “There was one of the greatest cover-ups and, frankly, political scandals this nation has ever seen.”
Leavitt pointed to recent books exposing what she called a media cover-up. “It’s been unraveled in recent books… which is quite ironic.”
