President Donald J. Trump said Sunday that he would release the results of an MRI scan he underwent in October — even as he acknowledged he “doesn’t know” which part of his body was imaged.
During an exchange with reporters aboard Air Force One while en route from Florida to Washington, Trump said, “If you want to have it released, I’ll release it.” He described the MRI results as “perfect.”
The White House had previously revealed only that the MRI was “advanced imaging” conducted at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center as part of his physical. Officials declined to specify what body part was scanned.
Asked where the MRI had been focused, Trump said he did not know. “It wasn’t the brain,” he added, noting he had just aced a cognitive test.
Medical experts have expressed skepticism about the claim that Trump wouldn’t know which body part underwent an MRI. As Vin Gupta, a former public‑health official and medical analyst, observed: patients typically hear the scanner and know which region is being examined — so Trump’s professed ignorance “doesn’t make sense.”
The MRI disclosure comes amid rising concerns over the 79‑year‑old president’s age and wellness. As recently as July, the White House acknowledged that Trump has Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI). Critics argue greater transparency is needed from the president about his health, especially given public interest in the well-being of national leaders.
For now, although Trump says the MRI report will be made public, it remains unclear when it will be released or whether it will include the full scan details and radiologist notes.
