US President Donald Trump speaks during a meeting at the White House AFP News
Donald Trump, 79, has spent his second presidency insisting he is in perfect health, yet he has also been strangely fixated on his own mortality and prospects in the afterlife. This contradiction has fuelled online speculation for months.
Now, the president has finally admitted to reporters that his recent, mysterious visit to Walter Reed medical centre included an MRI scan, an examination far outside a ‘routine’ physical.
What Is Donald Trump Hiding About His Health?
Speaking on board Air Force One, President Donald Trump finally provided a reason for his second medical examination this year. He had previously dodged questions about the visit, telling reporters to ‘ask the doctors’ why he went to the medical facility.
This time, he was declarative, if not detailed. ‘I did. I got an MRI. It was perfect,’ he bragged, in yet another assertion of his perfect health.
‘I gave you the full results,’ he continued. ‘We had an MRI, and the machine, you know, the whole thing, and it was perfect.’ The White House has not stated what part of the president’s body was scanned or the reason for the test.
The ‘Very Weird’ Visit That Has Critics Questioning Donald Trump
The president’s admission has only thrown fuel on the fire of online speculation. Harry Sisson, a left-wing influencer, branded the comments as ‘very weird.’
‘WOAH: Trump just accidentally let it slip that he got an MRI scan at Walter Reed recently,’ Sisson wrote on X. ‘His team claimed his visit was for a regular physical but MRI scans are not done at a routine physical. They’re for diagnosing serious conditions. Very weird…’
The president’s team has not yet clarified why the MRI was needed during what they had described as a regular physical.
‘Best Reports Ever Seen’: Donald Trump Brags Amid Afterlife Fixation
Despite the concern, Donald Trump continued to brag about his health while on the presidential plane, claiming that doctors said he has ‘some of the best reports they’ve ever seen.’
‘I think they gave you a very conclusive – nobody has ever given you reports like I gave you,’ he said. ‘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 doctor said some of the best reports for the age, some of the best reports they’ve ever seen.’
This bravado stands in stark contrast to the president’s other recent comments. During his second presidency, Trump has repeatedly and bizarrely questioned his own chances of getting into Heaven and regularly talks about going on to the afterlife.
He has openly conceded that he has doubts about whether he will see the pearly gates.
‘I think I’m not maybe heaven-bound,’ he told reporters on Air Force One on October 13. Trump also said that he does not think ‘there’s anything going to get me in heaven.’
This fixation on mortality is paired with other physical health controversies. The president has often been seen with heavy, mysterious bruising on the back of his hand, which is frequently smudged or appears concealed with make-up.
While Trump’s physician, Dr Sam Barbabella, said that the bruising was caused by the president shaking people’s hands throughout the day and from taking aspirin, the explanation has not satisfied critics.
Tsident was also publicly diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, a non-life-threatening condition which prevents blood flowing easily from the legs to the heart and often causes patients to suffer from swollen ankles.
It would be funny if Trump died before Biden. Guess who’s old now?!?
My take away from his statement is that his entire staff, and the MRI machine itself all had MRIs.
STROKE
EMBOLISM
2025
Save America
My pitch for the headline on that blessed day:
Second-Most Anticipated Obituary Finally Published
I am just waiting for him to blurt out that he did this new thing called a PET scan, can you believe it? A scan for your pets. Nobody ever heard about this thing before, but he passed it with flying colors.
Fronto temporal dementia. Ftd.
Neuropsychologist have been saying it for years.
These scans are also to monitor white matter loss.
That’s what happens when you have a stroke, fingers crossed he’ll keep having them
You don’t want several mood altering ones. You just want one gigantic, face-sloping, mind-mulching one.
Can we keep his consciousness alive and in pain for eternity?
Asking for a friend…
The etsy witches are onto it
10 dollars on trying to find lewy body dementia.
God, do you remember how in The West Wing, how the biggest scandal, the thing that nearly broke up his administration, was that the president didn’t reveal info about his health during the campaign?
Can you even imagine with this admin, holy fucking shit
I can’t imagine a West Wing type show about this current administration. It’s so outside the normal decorum.
It’s always sunny does veep. The west wing is America as we envisioned ourselves once, but it only works when we all try to be our best and follow decorum and actually want the country to be better.
If you’re different or a democrat the republican party hates you and wants you to suffer. They will accept less success in exchange for your pain. There is no west wing liberal fantasy with that as one of the parties, just the gang ruining the time of everyone around them.
So quaint
I have had more MRIs that the average person I’m guessing. Probably around a dozen over the last 20 years. They have all been to try and diagnose soft tissue injuries or conditions. Never once have I been given a preventative MRI, they’ve always been targeted because that’s just the nature of MRIs.
Trump didn’t pull some muscle doing strenuous activities. I’m guessing brain or chest, neither something you want needing a scan at 79 years old.
In fairness the US healthcare system does prioritize rich people. You can get preventative MRI scans if willing to pay.
The question is, did any other US President have preventative MRIs done? I’ve never heard.
I was thinking how it could be the next step in preventative medicine if as part of one’s annual physical that not just bloodwork but a full-body MRI could be granted in a universal health care system.
Imagine what that could do in stopping issues before they snowballed, and the value for medical studies…
Disclaimer: I am not diagnosing anything and I am not a physician, just a medical student.
My guess: Congestive heart failure, possibly with dilated cardiomyopathy, and AFib that’s throwing clots into cerebral circulation causing microvascular damage and TIAs. They put you on pretty hefty blood thinners (WAY more than aspirin) if you have AFib and signs of previous embolism/stroke.
Might have something to do with him not being able to see out of his right eye.
Pardon?
He turns his head left to look left, but turns his body right to look right. He also cants his head slightly to the right when standing “still”.
All signs of right eye blindness.
Thank you Dr. House.
Check him for butthole worms.
Maybe it’s Lupus?
MIGHT HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH HIM NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE OUT OF HIS RIGHT EYE
I like how you said it “louder”.
He had a stroke a few months back
Wonder where all the dickheads that spent years speculating about Hillary being at death’s door and Biden “campaigning from his basement” and similar concern-trolling are now?
Hillary stole the nom from Bernie, it wasn’t about her age it was her blatant corruption people disliked.
Biden was so far gone he was shaking hands with invisible people on stage in the middle of his term.
It’s not a team sport. If things are going to improve you need to be objective and factual.
Concern trolling? Biden had stage 4 cancer and most likely some form of dementia, both of which he covered up until he left office. The FBI literally chose not to prosecute him over mishandling classified documents as VP because he wasn’t mentally competent to stand trial. He was the lowest energy president in my lifetime.
Hell, the man disappeared from the public eye for weeks at a time and the complicit media never said a word about it. Trump goes 24 hours without a shitpost on “Truth” “Social” and people start spreading rumors of his death.
It wasn’t concern trolling to say that Biden was a sick old man who shouldn’t run for a second term - it was recognizing reality. I’m just happy his handlers are finally let the poor man rest.
Don’t mistake this as any kind of approval for Trump, except a sort of horrified admiration of the amount of energy it takes to shitpost until 3:00 a.m. every single day. It’s simply recognition that Trump’s second term is a direct result of Biden’s failure in office, and the obvious historical fact that his declining health played a role in that failure.
And just like Hilary and the DNC gave us Drumpf the first time, Kamalama-Ding-Dong and the DNC gave us this second round of hell.
Out there being disingenuous pricks.
Laughing at you for falling for their bullshit
If “it was perfect” is even only a half truth, what there is to read in this is “the MRI didn’t find the cause of the problem I had it done to look for”
It could totally be “Yeah, they confirmed exactly what they thought the problem was, and it’s hella serious.”
“My tests came back and they were all good” “No Donny they said they came back positive”
They failed to locate any functioning brain tissue
Did they find orange seeds in his skull?
Naw that part of his body is empty
He probably has some brain worms he got from RFK in there starting to death
But there’s nothing to eat up there, hence why I said skull and not brain…
