President Donald Trump shared details about his recent MRI results with reporters while traveling to Tokyo.
“It was perfect, yeah,” he said.
“I mean, I gave you the full results. We had an MRI and the machine, you know, the whole thing. And it was perfect.”
After retaking the White House in January, Trump became the second-oldest person to serve as U.S. president, highlighting his continued vigor at 79 years old.
Earlier this month, his doctor reported Trump was in “exceptional health” following a semiannual physical at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.
Navy Capt. Sean P. Barbabella, the president’s physician, affirmed that Trump “remains in exceptional health, exhibiting strong cardiovascular, pulmonary, neurological, and physical performance.”
Trump also received updated COVID-19 and flu vaccinations before his international trip.
This was his second medical checkup this year, with a similar exam in April confirming he “remains in excellent health.”
In July, Trump was diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, a vein condition signaled by mild swelling and managed by the White House medical unit.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt explained the president’s hand bruising came from “frequent handshaking and the use of aspirin,” a precautionary measure for heart health.
