Donald Trump says he aced his latest physical—but the proof, for now, is not in public view. "Everything checked out PERFECTLY," Trump, who will turn 80 next month, wrote on social media Tuesday afternoon. The White House did not immediately say what tests were performed or whether his physician, Dr. Sean P. Barbabella, would release a report about the physical, reports the New York Times.

While Trump's first physical of this term was accompanied by detailed data, subsequent updates have grown shorter and less specific, notes the Times. Trump was recently photographed with a blotchy rash on his neck, notes Reuters, the most recent of a string of seemingly minor ailments, including leg swelling attributed to chronic venous insufficiency, and bruising on his hands. A memo from Barbabella last fall called Trump's lab results "exceptional" and said his "cardiac age" was about 14 years younger than his actual age.
