President Trump Pledges Transparency on Medical Scan
Former President Donald Trump has declared his intention to make public the results of a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan he underwent in October. The announcement came during an impromptu conversation with journalists whilst he was returning to Washington from Florida.
On Sunday 30 November 2025, Trump stated, "If you want to have it released, I’ll release it." He confidently asserted that the findings from the advanced imaging were "perfect," reinforcing his administration's portrayal of his physical condition.
White House Remains Tight-Lipped on Scan Details
Despite the former president's pledge, the White House, under press secretary Karoline Leavitt, has consistently refused to clarify the precise reason for the MRI or specify which area of his body was examined. Leavitt has previously described the procedure as "advanced imaging" conducted at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, framing it as a standard component of his routine physical examination.
She maintained that the results demonstrated Trump continues to be in "exceptional physical health." This lack of specific detail has left room for public speculation and media inquiry regarding the nature of the scan.
Trump Expresses Uncertainty Over Scan Focus
Adding a curious twist to the event, President Trump revealed that he himself is unsure about the anatomical focus of the MRI. "I have 'no idea' on what part of my body I got the MRI," he told reporters. He went on to clarify, "It was just an MRI. What part of the body? It wasn’t the brain because I took a cognitive test and I aced it."
This statement appears to pre-emptively address potential questions about his cognitive fitness, a topic that frequently arises in political discourse. The combination of a promised data release and a lack of clarity from both the patient and his office ensures that the story will remain a point of discussion.
