Questions are mounting regarding Donald Trump’s wellbeing after the US president hasn’t been spotted in public for six days.
On Tuesday, May 26, Trump had a medical check-up at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center – his fourth publicly acknowledged medical assessment at the facility since taking office. Presidents typically attend once annually.
Folk on social media have been questioning Trump’s health following his most recent public outing, reports the Express.
One social media user posted on X: “Trump has no public events on his schedule again today. The last time he was seen publicly for something other than a pre-taped interview was six days ago — Wednesday, May 27 — for his cabinet meeting. (He went to Walter Reed the day before.)”

Another remarked: “Regular citizens are expected to show up to their jobs every single day without excuses, so why should the President be any different?”
A third posted: “Six days between public appearances feels like a long time for a president. Wonder if something is up or if this is just how his schedule works now.”
Trump, though, apparently played golf on Sunday, May 31, two days after medical results from his Walter Reed appointment declared the 79 year old in “excellent health” and “fully fit”.
Trump’s doctor released a copy of the president’s most recent medical assessment late on Friday, May 30. The report from Dr Sean Barbabella stated: “President Trump remains in excellent health, demonstrating strong cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, and overall physical function.
“His demanding daily schedule, including multiple high-level meetings, public engagements, and regular physical activity, continues to support his overall well-being.
“Cognitive and physical performance are excellent,” Barbabella noted.
“He is fully fit to carry out all duties of the Commander-in-Chief and Head of State.”
