President Donald Trump spent more than two hours at Walter Reed National Medical Center on Saturday for what the White House said were medical tests as part of his annual physical.

The appointment wasn’t on Trump’s weekend public schedule, and his last physical was in February. Press secretary Stephanie Grisham said the 73-year-old president was “anticipating a very busy 2020” and wanted to take advantage of “a free weekend” in Washington to begin portions of his routine checkup.

She did not specify which tests he’d received or explain why the visit had not been disclosed in advance. Trump’s 2018 and 2019 physicals were both announced ahead of time and appeared on his public schedule.

Grisham said after the visit that the president had had “a quick exam and labs” and assured he remains in good health.

I know they guy is president and all...but unless there is some kind of huge health problem, who the heck cares??

So they increased his statin drug. Big deal. I'm still not convinced cholesterol is a killer...but that's just my thought.

That's a great point.  There is lots of impeachment stuff I haven't read yet.

No cholesterol in itself isn't a killer but the build up of cholesterol forming into plaque and clogging arteries can be dangerous. 

A recent study is causing a lot of controversy because it revealed that stenting and bypass surgery procedures to prevent heart attacks are no better than change in diet, lifestyle and meds.  Of course stents and bypass surgery during heart attacks saves lives.

The President having an increase in statin dosage in my opinion isn't concerning but what is concerning is having high cholesterol and being under the tremendous amount of stress that he must be dealing with. He is high energy to begin with.  I'm hoping that he takes some time off for the holidays to slow down, stop the tweeting, breathes and relaxes.

The President's health should be a concern for all Americans.  He is 73 years old, overweight, I can't think of a more stressful job than President.  He made an unscheduled hospital visit.  If you could seriously call him Honest Don Trump then I would accept his explanation without question.  I pray he is healthy, and I invite other Christians to do the same.

Yes. President Trump needs our prayers more than ever.  However, this also could be his way out if he has been thinking of stepping down.  It cannot be easy and extremely frustrating to be criticized in spite of his accomplishments.  The left is never going to stop trying to invalidate his nomination.  Never.
