The White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, announced on November 12, 2025, that President Donald Trump remains in ‘exceptional physical health.’ This statement comes amid ongoing speculation about the former president’s health status, which has been a topic of public discussion following recent medical reports and media coverage. Leavitt’s announcement seeks to reassure the public and counter recent rumors about Trump’s health, emphasizing the administration’s confidence in his condition.
While the statement is aimed at addressing public concerns, it has also sparked further debate about the transparency of health information for former leaders. Critics argue that the details provided are vague and lack specific medical data, while supporters believe the administration is appropriately managing the situation with the necessary discretion. As the former president continues his public engagements, the focus remains on his health, which remains a significant political and public interest.
