White House Releases Trump's Medical Imaging, Revealing 'Perfectly Normal' Results
In a move seen as an attempt to reassure the public about President Donald Trump's health, the White House has released details of his medical imaging results, which show both his cardiovascular and abdominal systems are functioning within normal limits.
According to Dr. Sean Barbabella, Trump's doctor, the president's cardiovascular system is in excellent health, with no signs of inflammation or clotting. The heart chambers are normal in size, vessel walls appear smooth and healthy, and there are no abnormalities in the major vessels. This assessment was made after advanced imaging was performed on men in Trump's age group, which benefits from a thorough evaluation of cardiovascular health.
Similarly, Trump's abdominal imaging is also deemed 'perfectly normal', with all major organs appearing very healthy and well-perfused. There are no acute or chronic concerns with any of the evaluated systems.
The White House had initially stated that Trump received an MRI as part of his "routine yearly checkup", although he underwent his annual physical in April. When pressed on which part of his body the MRI examined, Trump expressed uncertainty, stating only that it was not related to his brain and claiming to have aced a cognitive test.
The move comes amid controversy following a Thanksgiving Truth Social post by Trump, where he criticized Minnesota Governor Tim Walz using a slur. Walz has since called for Trump to release the MRI results in an effort to shed light on any potential health concerns.
It is worth noting that Trump was diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency earlier this year, a condition where valves inside certain veins don't work properly and can cause swelling and blood pooling.
