President Donald Trump spoke to reporters while aboard Air Force One on Friday night, revealing he took a cognitive exam as part of his yearly physical and got “every answer right.”
Newsweek reached out to the White House via email Friday night for additional comment.
Why It Matters
The president of the United States typically gets a physical every year at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, and the results are usually made public.
Trump’s last annual physical while in office in 2020 indicated that the president was 6-foot-3, 244 pounds and had a blood pressure reading of 121/79, according to results released by the White House.
His current state of health has been somewhat of a mystery the last five years, as his exams have not been made public. Trump often touts his health, even previously challenging former President Joe Biden to a mental acuity test.
What To Know
Trump said he thinks he “did well” in the exam, while speaking to reporters, adding that the report will likely be released on Sunday.
“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 said. “I took just a lot of different tests, having to do with the heart, having to do with other things, and I think you’ll find that I’m—they’re gonna release the report on Sunday, I think you’ll find it very good.”
This is a developing story that will be updated with additional information.
