President Trump has refused to explain why he underwent an MRI scan at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, despite boasting about the results as "perfect." The scan was reportedly part of a routine annual check-up prior to his scheduled trip to the Middle East.
When questioned by reporters aboard Air Force One on Monday, Trump stated that he received the positive results and expressed confidence in his health. He attributed this optimism to his doctors' assessment, describing the report as "very conclusive." However, White House reporters were not provided with a copy of the full medical report.
Trump's comments have reignited concerns about his health, which have been a recurring issue throughout his presidency. In February, he was criticized for his bruised hands, and in the summer, photos surfaced showing him with swollen legs and ankles due to chronic venous insufficiency.
Despite these issues, Trump seems to be hinting at running for an unprecedented third term, suggesting that his health will need to be "good" before making such a move. While he initially denied any plans to run again, the remarks on Air Force One have sparked speculation about potential future bids.
