President Donald Trump’s MRI from October, during his second “yearly” check-up in just six months, shows he is in “excellent health,” the White House claimed Monday.
The White House Office of Communications released a memorandum from the president’s physician, Dr. Sean Barbabella, attesting to the results of the advanced imaging.
Barbabella portrayed the MRI as standard imaging for people of a certain age.
“Advanced imaging was performed because men in [Trump’s] age group benefit from a thorough evaluation of cardiovascular and abdominal health,” Barbabella said. “The purpose of this imaging is preventative: to identify issues early, confirm overall health, and ensure he maintains long-term vitality and function.”
According to the White House, the results showed Trump’s cardiovascular and abdominal imaging is “perfectly normal.”
