White House Physician Releases Statement On President Trump’s Health

President Trump’s physician released a statement on his health amid calls to disclose results from a recent MRI scan.

Dr. Sean Barbabella, Trump’s physician, said his “cardiovascular imaging is perfectly normal.”

“There is no evidence of arterial narrowing impairing blood flow or abnormalities in the heart or major blood vessels. The heart chambers are normal in size, the vessel walls appear smooth and healthy, and there are no signs of inflammation, or clotting. Overall, his cardiovascular system shows excellent health,” the memo continued.

“His abdominal imaging is also perfectly normal. All major organs appear very healthy and well-perfused. Everything evaluated is functioning within normal limits with no acute or chronic concerns,” it stated.

“This level of detailed assessment is standard for an executive physical at President Trump’s age and confirms that he remains in excellent overall health,” it concluded.

Axios shared:

Presidents typically undergo one comprehensive physical exam each year, but Trump had two such checkups this year despite receiving “excellent” results from the first one in April.

The statement follows Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz calling for Trump to release the MRI results.

Trump told reporters that he would release the results.

“If you want to have it released, I’ll release it,” Trump said.

Trump said he had “no idea” what part of his body was scanned.

“It wasn’t on the brain, because I took a cognitive test and I aced it,” he added.

Watch the exchange:

LMFAO! President Trump just proved once again he’s the king of trolls

REPORTERS: What about your MRI?!

POTUS: “It wasn’t on the brain, because I took a cognitive test and ACED it. Which YOU would be incapable of doing. And you too!”

“Goodbye everybody!”

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt addressed the MRI results with reporters:

After months of media hysteria over Trump’s health, the results are back — and they are staggering:

CNBC noted:

Despite Leavitt’s detailing of the MRI and subsequent release of the memo summarizing the MRI results from Dr. Barbabella, the White House stopped short of releasing images of the tests.

Until Monday, the White House only described the October Walter Reed visit as a “follow-up evaluation” that included “advanced imaging,” offering no explanation for why the procedure was done.

The release came as scrutiny of the MRI intensified over the weekend after Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Democratic nominee for vice president alongside Kamala Harris in the 2024 election, called on Trump to release the results, reacting to a Thanksgiving Truth Social post in which Trump attacked Walz, the state’s Somali community and Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn.

“Has anyone in the history of the world ever had an MRI assigned to them and have no idea what it was for, as he says,” Walz later said in an interview with NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
