President Donald Trump’s health has been making headlines for months. In October, the 79-year-old visited the Walter Reed Military Medical Center for an MRI, and his doctor stated that the president is in perfect health. However, everyone’s not buying it. Former White House doctor Jeffrey Kuhlman is calling BS.
Many were surprised when it was announced last month that Donald Trump had been visiting the Walter Reed MIlitary Medical Center to undergo an MRI scan.
On October 10, Trump’s physician, Sean Barbabella, released a memo stating that the president underwent “advanced imaging, laboratory testing, and preventive health assessments.
He added that “comprehensive laboratory studies performed in conjunction with the visit were exceptional, including stable metabolic, hematologic, and cardiac parameters.” Moreover, Trump received his annual flu vaccination and an updated COVID-19 booster.
“President Trump continues to demonstrate excellent overall health,” Barbabella wrote. “His cardiac age-a validated measure of cardiovascular vitality via ECG-was found to be approximately 14 years younger than his chronological age.”
Aboard Air Force One, Trump later commented on the medical visit.

“I gave you the full results,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One on the way to Japan. “We had an MRI, MRI and the machine, you know, the whole thing, and it was perfect.”
Trump continued, “I think they gave you a very conclusive — nobody has ever given you reports like I gave you, and if I didn’t think it was going to be good, either I would let you know negatively, I wouldn’t run, I’d do something. But the doctors said some of the best reports for the age, some of the best reports they’ve ever seen.”
Donald Trump is one of the oldest presidents in US history, but he did not reveal the exact reason for the scanning. MRI scans use strong magnetic fields to create images of the inside of a patient’s body and can detect a wide range of conditions.
But while Donald Trump – and the White House – stated that there was nothing special about the medical visit, others disagree.
Former White House doctor Jeffrey Kuhlman, who worked as the White House physician under Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama, spoke to The Hill over the weekend to discuss Trump’s recent trip to the Walter Reed Military Medical Center.

According to him, Trump is hiding something. He questioned why, if tests beyond MRI could have been performed in just 15 minutes at the White House, the timeline doesn’t add up.
“It’s about an eight-minute helicopter ride from the South Lawn to Walter Reed. So we know that he at least had four hours available to undergo medical care,” Kuhlmann told The Hill. “There’s a disconnect there.”
