US President Donald Trump stirred new headlines on Sunday when he pledged to release the results of his October MRI scan, but admitted he does not know what part of his body was examined. Travelling aboard Air Force One from Florida back to Washington, Trump told reporters, “If you want to have it released, I’ll release it.” He added that the results came back “perfect.”
Pressed further, he admitted he had no idea which body part underwent the MRI. “It was just an MRI,” he said. “What part of the body? It wasn’t the brain because I took a cognitive test and I aced it.”
The remarks come amid growing public and political scrutiny of his health — following recent photos, rumours, and his second medical check-up of the year at the famed Walter Reed National Military Medical Centre.
Trump MRI: Which Body Part Was Scanned?
Trump openly admitted that he does not know what the MRI examined. “It was just an MRI,” he said. “What part of the body? It wasn’t the brain because I took a cognitive test and I aced it.”
🚨HOLY SHIT: Trump just had a FULL MELT DOWN when asked what part of his body his MRI was for – a very EASY question.
Instead, Trump REFUSED to answer but denied it was his brain. He then said the two female journalists wouldn’t pass a cognitive test.

The White House has not clarified the MRI’s focus either. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt only said the president underwent “advanced imaging” at Walter Reed as part of a routine physical and that the results showed he remains in “exceptional physical health.”
This silence has fueled speculation about whether the scan targeted a new issue or was part of wider medical screening.
What Trump Said About His MRI & Health?
Trump claimed a large share of official documents under his predecessor were signed using an autopen (a robotic signature device), calling those “invalid.” But when asked about his own MRI, he offered little detail.
He described the MRI results as “perfect” and offered to release the full report voluntarily. He emphasised that he “aced” his cognitive test, a response to critics who have questioned his mental fitness.
Trump MRI: Why the Mystery Raises Questions?
Because neither Trump nor the White House clarified what region the MRI covered, speculation and concern spread quickly. The White House press office had earlier said the imaging was part of his routine physical exam and described his health as “exceptional.” However, as Trump admitted, even he does not know which part was scanned.
Experts note that without clarity on the area scanned and full medical data, “perfect results” say little. The lack of transparency fuels doubts about whether the scan covered a potential health issue or routine screening.
Trump’s Previous Physical Exam & Health Alerts Earlier in 2025
This MRI formed part of Trump’s second health checkup of the year. His first exam was conducted in April at Walter Reed. Since then, the president has faced repeated scrutiny over his health and appearance.
In recent weeks, public attention focused on a visible red patch on Trump’s hand, prompting social-media speculation. While the White House described it as minor and non-serious, critics argue that such visible marks add to broader worries about his fitness for office, especially for a man in his late 70s.
The combination of a mysterious MRI, a second annual physical exam, and recurring public health rumours has increased pressure on the White House to provide full transparency.
Trump’s Second Physical Examination This Year
The October MRI was part of Trump’s second physical exam of 2025. His earlier exam took place in April. According to the White House, the second checkup included “follow-up examination,” “advanced imaging,” and laboratory assessments.
Doctors previously diagnosed him with chronic venous insufficiency, a common condition in older adults that can cause leg swelling. Officials say Trump continues to show “excellent overall health,” and the president has repeated that his doctors gave him “some of the best reports for the age.”
Trump Health Concerns: Red Patch on His Hand and Viral Photos
Trump’s recent appearances have sparked online debate. A red patch on his hand raised questions, though the White House dismissed it as minor. Images from Mar-a-Lago showing Trump looking tired and pale also went viral, prompting comparisons to Joe Biden and renewed discussion about Trump’s stamina.
These public reactions have added pressure on the administration to disclose more details about his medical results.
Trump MRI Results: Is Trump in Good Enough Health to Be President?
The Trump MRI results have not yet been released. Though doctors say that Trump is in good health. Trump himself insists he is mentally sharp, pointing to his cognitive test results. “I took a cognitive test, and I aced it,” he said.
Still, the vague MRI explanation and recurring health concerns have kept questions alive. As the oldest president ever inaugurated for a second term, Trump’s medical transparency remains a key issue for voters and critics.
