President Donald Trump recently disclosed that he underwent an MRI during his most recent medical evaluation at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center earlier this month, reporting that the results came back “perfect” and firmly pushing back against ongoing speculation about his health. The announcement comes amid persistent rumors circulated by media outlets and social media commentators questioning the 79-year-old former president’s physical and cognitive condition.

Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One en route to Tokyo, Trump confirmed the imaging test took place during what he described as his “semi-annual physical,” a routine checkup that has become a standard component of his ongoing health evaluations.

The 47th president approached the topic with his characteristic humor, joking about the thoroughness of the MRI procedure and downplaying why it was conducted. “I did, I got an MRI — it was perfect,” Trump said. “We had an MRI, and the machine, you know, the whole thing, and it was perfect.”
