Trump taken to Walter Reed Hospital today? Fact-checking viral claim
One of the posts included an AI-generated video appearing to show two bodyguards carrying the 80-year-old president near the hospital.
Recent viral claims on social media have falsely suggested that President Donald Trump has been taken to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, but these allegations are untrue. The White House has repeatedly stated that Trump remains in "excellent health," as assessed by his physician, Navy Capt. Sean Barbabella, following his May medical evaluation.
In the report, Barbabella detailed Trump's strong cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, and overall physical function, including a perfect score of 30 out of 30 on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment. The only noted concerns were minor, such as slight swelling in Trump's lower legs and "minor soft tissue irritation" from frequent handshaking, which Barbabella attributed to aspirin use.
Despite these reassuring findings, some outside physicians have expressed reservations, citing the need for additional information and questioning certain aspects of the White House's medical report.
