Donald Trump’s MRI scans have left many concerned about the president’s health. Experts have shared their worries that he might not even be fit for office, while Trump himself claims not to know which body part the MRI scan checked. On Sunday, the president shared a new update on the MRi – and insulted another reporter.
Donald Trump’s health has been questioned several times in recent months. Already before the summer, bruises on his hands were reported to have been a sign that something was wrong with the president, but it was waved off as ‘too many handshakes.
However, as of late, MRI scans have made the news. Donald Trump underwent an MRI scan at Walter Reed Medical National Military Medical Center in October, but in the beginning, both Trump and White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt claimed it was part of a routine check.
Speaking to reporters onboard Air Force One en route to Japan in late October, Trump said, “We had an MRI, MRI and the machine, you know, the whole thing, and it was perfect. 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.”
Trump later claimed not to know which part of his body was scanned, a claim some experts have found improbable.
A former White House doctor previously claimed that the president and his administration are ‘hiding something’ in connection with the MRI scan.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz claims Donald Trump is “fading physically
Meanwhile, Dr. Vin Gupta, medical analyst for NBC News and former Chief Medical Officer at Amazon, has called out Donald Trump’s claim about not knowing what was scanned.
“You know when you get an MRI what part of your body is going into the very narrow part of that MRI scanner because you hear it. You have to be in there for, you know, anywhere from 15 to 45 minutes,” Gupta said on the MeidasTouch Podcast.
“The notion that he doesn’t know what got scanned is nonsensical because he’s hearing the magnet beat, and it’s for minutes,” he continued. “It’s not for seconds, so he definitely knows what got scanned.”
The 79-year-old president has received scrutiny over his health time and time again, and leading Democrats have called for Trump to release the MRI test results. One of those is Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.
When appearing on NBC’s Meet the Press, Walz claimed that the president is “fading physically,” and questioned his “mental capacity.” On Friday, Trump called Walz a “seriously retarded” while accusing him of allowing “hundreds of thousands of refugees from Somalia” to invade his state, a claim which is false.
“Here we got a guy on Thanksgiving where we spent time with our families, we ate, we played Yahtzee, we cheered for football or whatever,” Walz, who was Kamala Harris’ running mate in the 2024 Presidential Election, explained.
“This guy is apparently in a room ranting about everything else. This is not normal behavior. It’s not healthy. It’s clear the president is fading physically,”
Donald Trump says he will release MRI results
On Sunday, Donald Trump responded to those calling for him to release the MRI. Surprisingly, he agreed to release it.
“If you want to have it released, I’ll release it,” the president told reporters while traveling back to Washington from Florida, adding that his MRI result was “perfect.”
He said the results of the MRI were “perfect,” and continued to claim that he didn’t know what part of his body was scanned. Also, despite several previous incidents in which he had insulted female reporters, he continued to insult a third.
“I have no idea. It was just an MRI. What part of the body? It wasn’t the brain because I took a cognitive test and I aced it, I got a perfect mark, which you would be incapable of doing. Goodbye, everybody.”
