Donald Trump is almost 80 years old. One problem with electing an octogenarian president is that there will be concerns about that person’s health. The presidency is the most important and, if done well, the most demanding job in the world.
Joe Biden was far more transparent about his health than Donald Trump, and he was consumed by the corporate media who, for their own reasons of relevance and profit, had decided that Biden had to go.
Since entering politics, Trump has kept his medical records and details about his health a closely guarded secret.
Most of what has come out about Trump’s health has come from the most unreliable narrator in America, Donald Trump.
On October 27, 2025, Trump told reporters he had a ‘perfect MRI’:
We had an MRI, MRI and the machine, you know, the whole thing, and it was perfect. I think they gave you a very convincing answer: no one has ever given you such a report as I have, and if I thought it would not be good, I would also let you know negatively, I would not run, I would do something. But the doctors said some of the best reports for that age, some of the best reports they’ve ever seen.
The press has been asking about the MRI for months.
Trump has now changed his story and claimed he never had an MRI. The president claims he had a CT scan: “It wasn’t an MRI. It was less than that. It was a scan.”
