Trump Casually Admits He Got an MRI — and the Internet Has Some Serious Questions
After President Donald Trump casually told reporters aboard Air Force One that he underwent a “perfect” MRI during his last physical, keyboard physicians are hard at work, speculating over one key question: Why?
The social media site once known as Twitter was in a tizzy Monday after Trump revealed on the presidential plane that he had an MRI — or magnetic resonance imaging — at Walter Reed Medical Center.
“I did, I got an MRI — it was perfect,” the president told a reporter inquiring about his second trip to Walter Reed in a year. “I mean, I gave you — I gave you the full results. We had an MRI and the machine, you know, the whole thing, and it was perfect.”
When the reporter asked him to elaborate, Trump replied: “You could ask the doctors,” Trump said. “In fact, we have doctors traveling with us. But, I think I give you a very conclusive — nobody has ever given you reports like I give you. 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.”
One neurologist contacted by Mediaite said that they would never order an MRI — a noninvasive method to examine the body’s organs, muscles, and skeleton — for someone as healthy as the president claims to be.
It’s another ripple in the long-rumored health concerns about the commander in chief, who has sported everything from swollen ankles (later attributed to a case of chronic venous insufficiency), mysterious hand-bruising (which the White House claimed was due to excessive handshakes), and a prolonged Truth Social absence that led many to believe he had departed this mortal coil.
So without any clear answers, speculation over what might be ailing the 79-year-old Trump — and its seriousness — was rampant.
Among social media users questioning it was Democratic influencer Harry Sisson, the same Democratic influencer who was left covered in feces in the AI-generated poop-dumping video he posted last week.
“WOAH: Trump just accidentally let it slip that he got an MRI scan at Walter Reed recently,” Sisson posted 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…”
