The recent medical examination of U.S. President Donald Trump at the Walter Reed Military Center has sparked a political storm, after Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett demanded the White House fully disclose the details of his medical report, considering the official silence suspicious before the American public.
In an official statement, Crockett called on White House physician Dr. Sean Conley to clarify the president’s fitness to perform his duties, noting that health transparency is a “constitutional responsibility” to the people.
The controversy escalated after footage circulated showing Trump appearing tired, with swollen legs, and distracted during public conferences, while medical reports indicated he suffers from chronic venous insufficiency and relies on preventive aspirin, despite warnings about its risks for those over seventy.
Meanwhile, White House spokeswoman Caroline Leavitt confirmed that Trump’s visit was a routine annual procedure, denying any indications of serious illness, emphasizing that the tests showed “excellent overall health.”
In turn, presidential physician Conley clarified in an official memo that the president enjoys high physical fitness and a heart age 14 years younger than his actual age, considering previous observations as no risk but merely simple skin reactions.
Despite reassurance attempts, questions continued in Washington about whether the White House is hiding sensitive details about the president’s health, especially with upcoming election stakes.
