Lack Of Candor': CNN Medical Analyst Has Questions As Trump Heads To Hospital Yet Again

The upcoming health exam at Walter Reed highlights ongoing scrutiny of President Trump's health, as CNN medical analyst Dr. Jonathan Reiner questions White House candor. Trump faces his third 'annual' physical in 13 months, with exams previously in April and October 2025. Reiner cited swollen ankles, described as 'cankles,' attributed to chronic venous insufficiency, and warned edema could signal more serious conditions. Reiner questioned the 325 mg daily aspirin dose and asked for clarity about when the condition appeared. He has previously urged evaluation for sleep apnea given daytime drowsiness. The White House says Trump will also receive a dental exam, underscoring debates over health disclosure transparency for a near-80-year-old president.
