President Trump sparked controversy on Friday evening with his remarks about an MRI he underwent, as he headed to Palm Beach, Florida.
Last month, it was revealed that Trump had an MRI during his recent medical checkup at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump said, “I did, I got an MRI, it was perfect.” He added, “We had an MRI and the machine, you know, the whole thing, and it was perfect.”
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed earlier this week that the MRI was part of a routine physical. “As stated in the memo provided on October 10, President Trump received advanced imaging at Walter Reed Medical Center as part of his routine physical examination,” Leavitt said during a White House press briefing. “The full results were viewed by attending radiologists and consultants, and all agree that President Trump remains in exceptional physical health. I know all of you will see with your own eyes this evening when he opens up his dinner to the press.”
On Friday, a reporter asked Trump about the MRI once again. “Mr. President, can you tell us why you needed to get an MRI? I understand that the results were good but what was it for?” the reporter asked.
“Because it’s part of my physical. Getting an MRI is very standard. What? You don’t think I should have it? Other people get them,” Trump responded.
He continued, “I had an MRI. The doctor said it’s the best result he’s ever seen as a doctor! That’s it!”
When asked whether the MRI was focused on his brain or heart, Trump replied, “The result was outstanding. I have no idea what they analyzed. But whatever they analyzed, they analyzed it well! And they said that I had as good a result as they’ve ever seen.”
