Donald Trump underwent an MRI scan in October, although he claimed it was part of a routine physical checkup. Meanwhile, the president claimed he didn’t know what body part was scanned, a claim not everyone agrees on. A doctor now calls out the president for not telling the truth.
On October 10, Trump underwent an MRI scan at Walter Reed Medical Center. White House doctor Sean Barbabella released a memo stating that the president underwent “advanced imaging, laboratory testing, and preventive health assessments.
“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,” he said.
The White House has been dodging saying too much about Trump’s health, except that he is in an ‘extraordinary’ condition. Questions about the MRI and what they were really looking for have been raised in press briefings time and time again.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt shared an update in mid-November. She said the president “remains in exceptional physical health” after concerns in recent months, among them pictures of Trump with swollen ankles and bruises on his hands.
