This is the second time in 2025 that Trump’s health has come under scrutiny.
Just months ago, rumours circulated that he had passed away after not being spotted in public for several days. Those claims were later debunked, with Trump dismissing them.
Why did Trump get an MRI scan?
On Friday, November 14, Fox News reported that Trump spoke to journalists aboard Air Force One, who questioned him about the MRI scan reports.

According to Trump, it was a routine check-up. He said the results were thoroughly reviewed and that his doctor had provided a clear assessment of his condition.
Though he did not disclose specific medical details, Trump emphasised that the doctor’s evaluation was reassuring and dismissed speculation about any serious health concerns.
“It’s part of my physical. Getting an MRI is very standard. What, you think I shouldn’t have it? Other people get it. I had an MRI. The doctor said it was the best result he has ever seen as a doctor,” Trump said.
However, the president declined to explain which part of his body was scanned.
“I have no idea what they analyse, but whatever they analyse, they analysed it well and they said that I had as good a result as they have ever seen,” he added.
What did the White House say about Trump’s health?
Earlier in the week, the White House declined to provide specific details about medical images from Trump’s checkup.
However, they maintained that the exam showed he was in exceptional health.
Trump had previously disclosed that he underwent an MRI exam at Walter Reed Medical Centre on October 10, but even then, neither he nor the White House confirmed which part of his body was scanned.
It is worth noting that MRI scans are not usually part of routine medical check-ups. They are typically recommended when doctors need to investigate specific areas of the body using detailed images.
