Trump reported an MRI result as the best his doctor has seen, despite media questioning the necessity of the scan, suggesting concerns about his health.

Overview

  • Speaking to reporters on Air Force One on Nov. 14, President Trump said an MRI was part of a recent physical and described the result as outstanding.
  • When asked what body part was scanned, he replied that he had “no idea what they analyzed,” reiterating only that doctors praised the outcome.
  • The White House says attending radiologists reviewed “advanced imaging” from the Oct. 10 Walter Reed visit and concluded the president remains in exceptional health.
  • Independent medical experts note MRIs are typically targeted diagnostic tests rather than standard elements of routine exams, driving calls for more detail.
  • Trump also said he took an “advanced” cognitive test and claimed a perfect score, comments that drew criticism and mockery from commentators online.
