[Anchor] President Trump, who is just weeks away from his 80th birthday, publicly released the results of a recent medical exam. He appears to be trying to quell lingering questions about his health, but critics say the report did not fully resolve those concerns. I’m Choi Jin-kyung. [Reporter] President Trump, the oldest person ever inaugurated as U.S. president, will turn 80 on June 14. Seemingly responding to repeated concerns about “age-related risk,” he disclosed the results of a physical exam taken after six months. Trump said the results were “extremely good” and that he scored a perfect 30 on a challenging cognitive test. His physician said Trump has “excellent heart, lung and nervous system function” and is fit to perform the duties of head of state. Trump emphasized that this was his fourth consecutive perfect score on the cognitive test, calling the streak “very rare.” He also called for all presidential candidates to be required to take cognitive exams, an apparent jab at Democrats. Conscious of past controversies over health transparency during President Biden’s term, Trump has regularly showcased his own health. Donald Trump / U.S. President (May 11): “I still feel pretty young. I feel the same as I did 50 years ago. It’s remarkable. Of course, a day will come when I won’t feel that way.” Concern nevertheless remains. He gained about 6 kg (13.2 lb) over the past year, reaching 108 kg (238.1 lb), and doctors recommended weight loss and dietary changes. Earlier, bruising on the back of his hand and swelling in his legs prompted questions about his health. The White House said those signs were due to aspirin use and chronic venous insufficiency. A local poll found only 40% believe Trump currently has the mental sharpness needed to carry out his duties. With critics saying the latest exam did not settle lingering doubts, it will likely be difficult for him to fully escape the debate over age-related risk. This is Choi Jin-kyung for Yonhap News TV.
