Even Vice President JD Vance’s comments appeared to inadvertently fuel the fire when he mentioned being prepared to assume the presidency in the event of a ‘terrible tragedy,’ even though he quickly added that Trump was in ‘incredibly good health’ with ‘incredible energy.’
Now, speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One on October 27, while traveling to Asia for a week-long diplomatic trip, Trump has finally revealed what happened during his October visit to Walter Reed, and the reason is raising more questions than it answers.
The POTUS confirmed he underwent a magnetic resonance imaging scan during the appointment, although he notably declined to specify why the advanced imaging was ordered.
Medical experts have pointed out that MRI scans are not typically part of routine physical examinations unless there is a specific concern requiring further investigation.
The scans use powerful magnetic fields and radio waves to create detailed images of the body’s internal structures, and are particularly useful for examining soft tissues, organs, and detecting abnormalities that other imaging methods might miss.
When pressed by reporters about the reason for the MRI, Trump deflected, saying: “You could ask the doctors,” and adding that ‘nobody has ever given you reports like I gave you.’
He claimed that his doctors said to him he had ‘some of the best reports, for the age, some of the best reports they’ve ever seen.’
