CNN whines over Trump physical not being released – may whine even more now that it is

May 30, 2026 | | Print Article

Conspiracy mongering about President Donald J. Trump’s health has ticked up dramatically as of late, with CNN whining about the results of his physical exam not being released to the public.

The president underwent the physical at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on Tuesday amid desperate attempts by Democrat operatives and many in the media to suggest that the White House isn’t being transparent about the health issues that they claim he has, an obvious effort to promote a narrative.

“Just finished my 6 month physical at Walter Reed Military Medical Center. Everything checked out PERFECTLY,” Trump wrote in a Tuesday afternoon post to Truth Social – but it wasn’t enough to satisfy CNN.

Earlier this week, the network’s medical analyst, Dr. Jonathan Reiner, speculated about potential health issues and that an explanation is lacking for “visible health concerns,” including visible bruising on Trump’s hands, and suggested that he suffers from “severe daytime somnolence” due to chronic insomnia, which could indicate more serious problems.

“The president has severe daytime somnolence,” Reiner said. “He falls asleep very often. He’s fallen asleep in the Oval Office on multiple occasions with people talking to him in the cabinet room, and there was concern yesterday that he might have fallen asleep at Arlington National Cemetery during Memorial Day observances.”

On Friday, Reiner was still at it, whining about the “unimaginable” lack of transparency from the administration, which had yet to be made public.

“It’s unimaginable to me that the White House would not release a statement about the president’s health — even the most basic statement,” the TV doctor proclaimed. “It’s going to really spark concerns about the president’s fitness for office if the White House refuses to disclose his medical report.”

“It would imply that there is information they don’t want the public to hear,” Reiner added. “It intensifies the distrust in their transparency.”

But for all of CNN’s bellyaching, there is nothing wrong with the president, who is fit as a fiddle according to the results of the physical, which were released later on Friday.

“President Trump remains in excellent health, demonstrating strong cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, and overall physical function,” wrote Trump’s physician, Navy Captain Sean Barbabella, in his report.

“His demanding daily schedule, including multiple high-level meetings, public engagements, and regular physical activity, continues to support his overall well-being. Cognitive and physical performance are excellent,” he stated, adding, “He is fully fit to carry out all duties of the Commander-in-Chief and Head of State.”

Trump has gained weight since his physical last April and is up to 238 pounds from 224.

“Preventive counseling was provided, including guidance on diet, recommendation to take a low-dose aspirin, increased physical activity, and continued weight loss,” according to Barbabella’s report.

The release of the physical results should satisfy most people, but it will never be enough for CNN, which has been diagnosed with late-stage Trump Derangement Syndrome.
