President Trump spoke to reporters aboard Air Force One Friday evening, fresh off his annual physical exam at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center—and in classic Trump fashion, he didn’t waste the opportunity to deliver a not-so-subtle jab at his predecessor.
Trump appeared upbeat and confident as he gave a brief update on his exam, saying, “I think I did well, every test you can imagine.” He noted the comprehensive nature of the check-up and praised the “highly respected doctors” at Walter Reed, calling it an “amazing place.”
But the headline came when Trump turned the conversation toward cognitive testing—an area that has become increasingly relevant given Joe Biden’s widely reported mental and physical decline. “I took a cognitive test, and I don’t know what to tell you other than I got every answer right,” Trump said with a grin, clearly drawing a contrast with Biden’s frequent stumbles, incoherent remarks, and now infamous episodes of confusion on the global stage.
“I felt I was in very good shape — good heart, a good soul, very good soul,” Trump added, in what may be the first presidential health update to include a spiritual wellness score.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt later addressed the press and echoed the President’s remarks, emphasizing that the Trump administration is committed to full transparency—especially when compared to what she described as “one of the greatest cover-ups and, frankly, political scandals this nation has ever seen” under the Biden White House.
“There was certainly a lack of transparency from the former president, from the entire former administration,” Leavitt said. “Journalists in this room now admit they engaged in that cover-up, which is quite ironic.”

Indeed, recent books and insider accounts have confirmed that many in the media and Democratic establishment knew Biden was not up to the task, but worked overtime to suppress that truth. Trump’s administration, by contrast, is leaning into full disclosure—cognitive tests and all.
The full report from Trump’s physical is expected to be released Sunday, but if Friday’s remarks are any indication, it’s likely to show what his supporters have long claimed: President Trump is sharp, strong, and ready to lead—unlike the confused, mumbling placeholder the Democrats tried to keep propped up for four years.
