Trump: Yes, I Had an MRI, and ‘It Was Perfect’

President Donald Trump shared new details about his recent visit to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, revealing that he underwent an MRI scan earlier this month.

The White House had previously described the procedure only as “advanced imaging” in a memo released by White House physician Capt. Sean Barbabella, without specifying the type of test.

“I did, I got an MRI—it was perfect,” President Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One, according to USA Today. He did not elaborate on the reason for the scan, telling journalists to “ask the doctors,” CNN reported.

MRI scans—short for magnetic resonance imaging—are a noninvasive way for doctors to capture detailed images of internal organs and tissues. They’re commonly used to evaluate heart conditions, tumors, or joint issues, according to The New York Times.

Though Axios noted this was his second visit to Walter Reed since January, the 79-year-old president dismissed speculation about his health. “Nobody has ever given you health reports like I gave you,” Trump said. “The doctors said some of the best reports for the age—some of the best reports they’ve ever seen.”

President Trump was diagnosed in July with chronic venous insufficiency, a circulatory condition in which weakened leg veins struggle to return blood to the heart. The condition can cause swelling in the ankles, which has occasionally been visible during public appearances.

He has also been seen with light bruising on his right hand, which his physician attributed to a mix of frequent handshaking and the use of aspirin—a medication that can increase bruising.

When asked by reporters if he would rule out the possibility of seeking a third term, Trump smiled and declined to comment.
