President Donald Trump's recent MRI results have been released, indicating he is in "excellent overall health," according to a memo from his physician, Dr. Sean Barbabella. The memo, made public by the White House, stated that the MRI conducted on October 10 was preventative, designed to identify health issues early and ensure long-term vitality. It confirmed that Trump's cardiovascular and abdominal imaging results were "perfectly normal" and that there were no signs of arterial narrowing or abnormalities in major vessels, which is significant at his age, as he is the oldest person ever elected to the White House according to CBS News, The Hill, and Channel News Asia.
Trump himself stated during a press interaction, "If you want to have it released, I’ll release it," confirming his willingness to share the results, which he described as “perfect.” However, he admitted ignorance regarding which body part was imaged, insisting that "it wasn’t the brain" because he had previously passed a cognitive test. The MRI was part of a routine physical and was performed at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, according to HuffPost and ABC News.
Despite the positive MRI results, concerns have been raised about Trump's health in light of his recent physical appearance, including reports of bruising and swelling attributed to chronic venous insufficiency. Critics and some lawmakers, including Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, have called for transparency regarding Trump's health following his October visit to the hospital, which deviated from his regular check-up schedule. The White House has maintained that the MRI was merely precautionary and recommended for someone of Trump’s age, as stated in the released memo, reaffirming that he remains in “exceptional physical health” according to Los Angeles Times and BBC.
