Trump underwent a medical checkup where 22 medical specialists assessed him, which is nearly double the number who examined previous presidents — George H.W. Bush saw 5 and George W. Bush saw 12 at their first presidential checkups. The White House declined to explain why the number was so high or identify which physicians were involved, which has raised questions about transparency given public concerns about the president's age and fitness. The Post's historical comparison provides useful context showing this represents a significant departure from precedent.
