Washington DC [US], December 2 (ANI): Amid speculation about President Donald Trump’s health, the White House released results from an MRI he underwent in October.
The disclosure followed pressure from Democrats, including Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, who had questioned the president’s mental sharpness and overall condition. Trump had also attracted attention earlier in the year for noticeable ankle swelling and bruising on the back of his right hand.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, reading a summary provided by the physician to the President, said, “This level of detailed assessment is standard for an executive physical at President Trump’s age and confirms that he remains in excellent overall health.”
Leavitt said the MRI was “preventative to identify any issues early” and reported that Trump’s cardiovascular imaging was “perfectly normal,” with “no evidence of arterial narrowing impairing blood flow or abnormalities in the heart or major vessels.” She added that the heart chambers are normal in size, vessel walls appear smooth and healthy, and there are no signs of inflammation or clotting. She said the abdominal imaging was also normal, with major organs appearing healthy and well perfused, and that everything evaluated was functioning within normal limits with no acute or chronic concerns.
The White House released the October MRI results after Trump appeared unable to specify to reporters aboard Air Force One which part of his body had been scanned. “It was just an MRI,” Trump told reporters. “What part of the body? It wasn’t the brain because I took a cognitive test and I aced it.” (ANI)
