The former US president’s latest medical examination has been dismissed by leading British physicians as a carefully orchestrated public relations stunt. Unlike the rigorous, transparent health disclosures expected of the British royal family, Donald Trump’s check-up was a closed-door affair with results announced via a brief, glowing statement from his doctor. One consultant cardiologist noted: “The contrast could not be starker.
Royal doctors provide detailed, independent assessments built on decades of clinical governance. This feels like a political instrument, not a health check.” The episode has reignited debate over the accountability of political leaders, with critics arguing that the public deserves the same standard of openness from a potential future president as they would from a monarch.
