President Donald Trump gave a quick update to reporters aboard Air Force One after completing his annual physical exam at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, taking a swipe at former President Joe Biden in the process.
Trump appeared to be in good spirits and said that he believed he was “in good shape,” and said that he had at the very least gotten “every answer right” on the cognitive portion of the exam.

“Hey, everybody,” he said. “Just got back from Walter Reed … I think I did well, every test you can imagine. I was there for a long time, the yearly physical. I think I did well, I think they’re releasing the report on Sunday, the doctors, highly respected doctors. It’s great, amazing place.”
After being asked whether he’d been told he needed to make any changes, he said there were a few, but added, “I felt I was in very good shape — good heart, a good soul, very good soul. I took — 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.”
“I took just a lot of different tests having to do with the heart, having to do with other things,” he concluded, repeating the plan to have the report released on Sunday.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt had previewed the president’s plan to be fully transparent with regard to his annual physical earlier in the day, also jabbing at Biden and the previous administration’s lack of transparency.

“I can tell you there was certainly a lack of transparency from the former president, from the entire former administration, and frankly, a lot of people in this room when it came to the health and the competence of the former President of the United States, Joe Biden,” Leavitt said. “There was one of the greatest cover-ups and, frankly, political scandals this nation has ever seen. It’s been unraveled in recent books that are being written by journalists who engaged in that cover-up and scandal, which is quite ironic.”
