White House defends Trump's surprise medical exam amid skepticism online

The White House said there was nothing unusual about President Donald Trump making a surprise trip to Walter Reed Medical Center on Saturday to undergo what he called "phase one" of his annual physical.

But the ordeal was met with skepticism online, where some felt the White House and the president weren't being upfront about his hospital visit.

"Visited a great family of a young man under major surgery at the amazing Walter Reed Medical Center," Trump tweeted early Sunday morning. "Those are truly some of the best doctors anywhere in the world. Also began phase one of my yearly physical. Everything very good (great!). Will complete next year."

Trump, 73, had no public events on his calendar Saturday and no advance guidance was given that he would be getting any kind of medical exam. Trump's prior to physical exams as president were on the public schedule and advance warning was provided. In addition, those exams did not take place in multiple "phases." Trump's most recent physical was in February.

Maybe in his little bubble world it’s a sign of weakness and he’s afraid the piranhas will swarm. He’s 73 years old, even if he weren't a fat lazy shit things happen.
