Donald Trump has revealed a surprising update about his health, offering new details about a recent MRI that has fueled fresh speculation. Earlier this year, attention intensified after he appeared with a dark bruise on his hand — something observers noted was heavily concealed with makeup. His team later confirmed the former president had been diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), a circulatory condition caused by weakened or damaged leg veins.
Last month, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced that Trump would undergo his routine medical exam at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. Trump then confirmed that the evaluation included an MRI scan.
Speaking with reporters aboard Air Force One, the 79-year-old claimed, “We did an MRI — the whole thing — and it was perfect.” Although he refused to explain why the scan was ordered, he insisted he has been more transparent with medical reports than “any president ever,” adding that he would openly acknowledge any serious issue.
Trump said he felt strong and healthy, emphasizing that his doctor told him the results were “some of the best they’ve seen for someone my age.” During another press briefing aboard Air Force One on November 14, he doubled down, calling the MRI “absolutely outstanding.”
When asked whether the scan included his brain, Trump responded, “I have no idea what part they looked at, but whatever they checked, they checked it thoroughly.”
Rumors surrounding Trump’s health have been rampant, especially after false claims circulated online earlier this year suggesting he had died. Vice President JD Vance added to the chatter when he remarked that he was prepared to assume leadership “in the event of a terrible tragedy,” though he later clarified the president remains in excellent health.
Trump himself dismissed the speculation, posting: “NEVER FELT BETTER IN MY LIFE.”
