White House Declares Trump in Excellent Health
President Trump, who is 79 years old, had a big health check-up called an executive physical.
The doctors did special scans and said his heart and other important parts are working really well.
Some people had been saying he looked tired or not as active, but the White House said he is actually very healthy and does a lot of work.
They also said the scans were done to make sure he stays healthy for a long time.
The White House got a bit upset with a newspaper that wrote about Trump's health, saying it was not true and that the president is very active and accessible.
However, during a recent meeting, Trump was seen dozing off a few times, which made some people question his energy levels.
White House released a medical memo stating President Trump is in excellent overall health after a comprehensive physical and MRI.
Trump's cardiovascular and abdominal systems were reported to be perfectly normal with no abnormalities or concerns.
The MRI was conducted in October as a preventive measure for a man of Trump's age.
The New York Times had reported Trump appearing less energetic and occasionally nodding off, prompting the White House's response.
Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt defended Trump's health and accessibility, criticizing the media for politically motivated claims.
