"a routine, planned interim checkup as part of the regular, primary preventative care"

The White House shifts description of Trump's visit to Walter Reed

Washington (CNN)The White House has offered shifting descriptions of President Donald Trump's medical exam in the days since he made an unscheduled Saturday visit to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.

Trump and White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham initially billed Trump's visit as the first part of the President's annual physical. But two days later, the President's doctor described the hospital visit as an "interim checkup," a term physicians told CNN implies a separate visit that is not part of an annual physical.

In a bid to quell concerns and speculation surrounding the visit, the White House released a memo from Dr. Sean Conley, the President's physician, describing the visit as "a routine, planned interim checkup as part of the regular, primary preventative care he receives throughout the year."

Despite speculation otherwise, he said Trump "has not had any chest pain, nor was he evaluated or treated for any urgent or acute issues."

Meanwhile, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, a New York Democrat, said Tuesday he wishes the President "well" from "whatever he's recovering from."

He appears to have an A-type personality when it comes to heart problems. I have seen he also has panic attacks. Don't know if that is true, but I could see him experiencing one. We know he isn't in good health with that diet and his outrage and screaming.

Let's hope he doesn't die a martyr. If he does, we'll never hear the end of him.
