White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt addressed whether President Donald Trump is concerned about his health care following reports that Joe Biden's prostate cancer may have been missed by his former medical team.
"Not as far as President Trump is concerned," Leavitt said in response. "The White House physician we have here is phenomenal and the team of physicians that take care of the president, particularly at Walter Reed Medical Center, are great," she added in a clip circulating on TikTok.
Leavitt then reshared that the 78-year-old president received "perfect results" from a recent nearly five-hour physical exam, and cited his four-day tour of the Middle East as further proof of his energy and stamina.
"I think those of you that traveled to the Middle East with us last week can attest to the president's endurance," Leavitt stated. "And, by the way, I will add we returned home from a very long and tiring trip last week, and on Saturday, where was the president? In the Oval Office working all day."

"He doesn't stop. He doesn't quit. He's in great health, and he trusts his physicians," she added.
However, social media users noted that President Trump appeared to fall asleep multiple times during a special ceremony held in his honor at the Saudi royal court by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman last week.
"This isn't jet lag — it's a walking security risk with a nap schedule. The man who calls himself 'sharp as ever' couldn't even stay conscious," The AllenAnalysis podcast host Brian Allen wrote in an X post shared May 13.
🚨 BREAKING: In a surreal and frankly humiliating moment, Donald Trump just fell asleep during his own briefing in Saudi Arabia.
