Dr. Oz Says Trump Goes for Frequent Checkups Because He ‘Likes the Results'

Dr. Mehmet Oz said Tuesday that President Donald Trump is in "spectacular" health, citing medical records that show the 79-year-old has "excellent" physical condition. The president went to Walter Reed Medical Center for the fourth known checkup of his second term last week.

Taking questions in the White House briefing room, Oz, the administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), also brushed off a question about the president’s return trips for checkups.

"I think he likes the results," Oz responded. "He aces the test every single day, and I do actually believe that he is curious to make sure everything is going in the right direction."

Oz also described the frequent exams as a reflection of Trump's "very meticulous" approach, saying he "wants to know all the numbers" and stay on top of them. He told reporters that Trump's energy and mental sharpness reflect his overall health.

"That amount of energy and that amount of mental acuity does not exist in a vacuum," Oz said, adding that the former president's physical condition supports it.
