Overview
- Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One on Friday, President Trump called the MRI “very standard” and said a doctor told him the result was the best he had ever seen.
- Pressed on what was examined, Trump said he had “no idea what they analyzed,” while characterizing the outcome as outstanding.
- The scan occurred at Walter Reed on October 10 during a roughly three-hour visit that the White House physician described as a scheduled follow-up.
- The White House has said attending radiologists and consultants reviewed the imaging and that Trump remains in exceptional health, without disclosing the body part or clinical reason.
- Independent physicians note MRIs are typically targeted rather than part of routine physicals, and the president also said he took an advanced mental acuity test and claimed a perfect score.
