Former President Donald Trump has sparked controversy once again with his latest health update, declaring himself to be in "good health" following a physical exam at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. Trump, who has faced criticism for his handling of his own health and that of others during the COVID-19 pandemic, underwent the exam on Tuesday, according to a statement released by his office. The physical exam, which is a routine requirement for presidential candidates and office holders, is meant to assess the health and fitness of the individual for the demands of the presidency. However, Trump's statement has raised eyebrows, given his age and history of health issues, including a diagnosis of COVID-19 last year and rumors of previous heart problems.
