A Raw Story article examines renewed scrutiny surrounding President Donald Trump's health after a Truth Social post in which he defended his physical and cognitive fitness.

The controversy centered on Trump's statement that he had 'just' completed a perfect physical examination at Walter Reed Medical Center and had once again passed a cognitive test with a perfect score.

Journalists and political reporters questioned the wording because publicly available information indicated that Trump's most recent physical examination took place on May 26, nearly two months earlier, rather than on the day of his post.

The article notes that Trump made the comments while responding to journalist Maggie Haberman, who had discussed the limited public information available about the president's health during a television appearance following several recent verbal gaffes.

Those reported mistakes included misidentifying Iran as the 'Islamic State of Japan' and referring to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as Vladimir Putin.

Several reporters and commentators publicly questioned whether Trump had undergone an additional medical examination or had simply referred to the earlier one.

Some also highlighted an apparent inconsistency between Trump's claim that he receives physical examinations every six months and the timing of the examination already disclosed by the White House.

According to the article, a White House official later clarified to CNN that Trump had been referring to his May 26 physical rather than a newly completed examination.

The article presents reactions from multiple journalists who argued that Trump's wording created unnecessary confusion while discussing broader concerns about transparency regarding presidential health.
