White House insists Trump’s medical scan was ‘perfectly normal’

 

 

The White House moved quickly on Monday to shut down a weekend frenzy over Donald Trump’s health, releasing a detailed memo from the president’s physician declaring that his October medical imaging showed “perfectly normal” results across both his cardiovascular and abdominal systems.

 

Dr. Sean Barbabella, Trump’s official physician, wrote that the president’s heart showed no arterial narrowing, no inflammation, no clotting, and no abnormalities in the chambers, vessels or blood flow. “Overall, his cardiovascular system shows excellent health,” the memo states — a line clearly aimed at silencing rumors swirling since Trump unexpectedly revealed he underwent an MRI at Walter Reed in October.

 

The abdominal imaging was equally uneventful, according to Barbabella. All major organs appeared “very healthy and well-perfused,” with “no acute or chronic concerns.” The doctor said the “advanced imaging” was performed simply because men in Trump’s age group “benefit from a thorough evaluation” of these systems.

 

That explanation will do little to calm speculation over why Trump received a high-level scan just six months after his April annual physical — especially as the White House had previously billed the October visit as part of his “routine yearly checkup.” Press interest surged again this weekend after Trump told reporters he had undergone an MRI but claimed he did not know what part of his body it examined.

 

Asked why the scan was necessary, Trump deflected, saying only that reporters should “ask the doctors.” He added he was “open” to releasing results — a suggestion his staff appeared eager to pre-empt with Monday’s memo.

 

Still, the timeline remains muddied: an MRI in October, a physical in April, and a White House that can’t quite explain why one preceded the other. But publicly, at least, the message is now unified: everything is fine, the scans were normal, and the president — in the official wording — shows “excellent health.”

 

Key Takeaways

• White House releases memo declaring Trump’s October cardiovascular and abdominal imaging “perfectly normal.”

• MRI occurred months after his April physical, fueling questions about why the scan was needed.

• Trump says he’s “open” to releasing results but insists he doesn’t know what area was scanned.

His heart was a perfect Big Mac shape..............🤗

When reporters asked him what part of his body got a scan, he replied "I don't know."

FERCHRISSAKE who gets an MRI and doesn't know what part of their body got scanned?!?

If it WASN'T his brain that got scanned, it sure seems like it needs to be. It's obvious the elevator isn't going all the way to the top floor any more.

Sure, as long as it's "free" at taxpayer expense.

 

Not so sure if you gots to pay for health insurance, IF you can afford it.

 

If not, it's DIY for the peasantry:

 

"So, supposing we hit the body with a tremendous — whether it's ultraviolet or just very powerful light — and I think you said that that hasn't been checked, but you're going to test it. And then I said, supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way, and I think you said you're going to test that too.  It sounds interesting."
