White House Releases MRI Results From Trump’s Heart And Stomach Scans

The White House released medical results for President Donald Trump on Monday that showed “perfectly normal” scans of the president’s heart and stomach.

Trump, who turned 79 in June, underwent MRIs as part of his physical exam in October, and promised reporters on Sunday that he would release the results after Minnesota Governor Tim Walz questioned the president’s health and called on him to make the MRI results public. During the Monday afternoon White House press briefing, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt read from a statement prepared by Trump’s doctor, Sean Barbabella.

“As part of President Donald J. Trump’s comprehensive executive physical, advanced imaging was performed because men in his age group benefit from a thorough evaluation of cardiovascular and abdominal health,” Barbabella wrote. “The purpose of this imaging is preventative: to identify issues early, confirm overall health, and ensure he maintains long-term vitality and function.”

Barbabella said that Trump’s cardiovascular and abdominal imaging were “perfectly normal,” adding that the president remains in “perfect health.”

Trump’s critics have questioned his health throughout his second term, pushing rumors that he was dealing with major health issues, and some people even speculated that Trump had died in September. Trump’s health was brought into question again on Sunday by Walz.

Trump ripped Walz in a Thanksgiving Day message, calling the governor “seriously retarded” and arguing that “hundreds of thousands of refugees from Somalia are completely taking over” Minnesota. Walz said on Sunday that Trump is “fading physically,” adding that his behavior is “not normal” and “not healthy.”

Trump responded to Walz’s comments on Sunday and said that he had no issue releasing the MRI results.

“If you want to have it released, I’ll release it,” Trump told reporters. “It was just an MRI. What part of the body? It wasn’t the brain because I took a cognitive test and I aced it.”

The president, who is approaching his 80th birthday, has maintained an intense schedule throughout his second term and remains in “excellent” condition, according to his doctor. In July, however, Trump was diagnosed with “chronic venous insufficiency” in his legs, which causes his legs to swell. Barbabella said Trump’s “chronic venous insufficiency” is a “benign, common condition, particularly in individuals over the age of 70.”
