President Donald Trump sparked confusion and intense scrutiny over his recent health assessment after making a surprising admission regarding a medical scan while speaking to reporters on Sunday.
The President, traveling aboard Air Force One, stated he had “no idea” what specific part of his body was recently scanned during a routine Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) procedure.
He was, however, certain about one crucial detail: “it wasn’t the brain,” he asserted, quickly adding that he had previously “aced” a comprehensive cognitive test.
The revelation comes amid rising calls for greater transparency regarding the President’s health records. The specific question was prompted after Minnesota Governor Tim Walz challenged the President to release his full MRI results following a derogatory public remark.
The MRI was conducted as part of a visit to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on October 10. While the White House physician confirmed “advanced imaging” was performed as a “preventive health assessment,” the summary provided to the public did not detail the exact area scanned.
The President maintained he would be happy to release the results of the full exam, but the lack of clarity regarding the scanned area is expected to fuel further public debate about the state of the 79-year-old leader’s overall health.
