WooGlobe

President Donald Trump is scheduled for a routine medical exam at Walter Reed — his second this year — following a diagnosis of chronic venous insufficiency that caused leg swelling. At 79, he's the oldest president to start a term, yet his doctor insists he remains in excellent health. While at Walter Reed, Trump will also meet with troops and could head to the Middle East the same day to pursue a peace deal between Israel and Hamas. Even with bruises from handshakes and a heart-health aspirin routine, Trump is pushing forward — full throttle.
