Trump regrets handing Dems health 'ammunition' with October scan — clarifies it was a CT, not an MRI
Fox News
President Donald Trump revealed he received a CT scan, not an MRI, during his October medical checkup at Walter Reed, clarifying previous reports.
Trump’s health has drawn fresh scrutiny in recent months, including after reports said he underwent an MRI during an October visit to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Maryland. The October checkup was Trump’s second of 2025, after an April visit in which the White House physician, Navy Capt. Sean P. Barbabella, said the president "remains in exceptional health."
Trump’s CT clarification comes as Democrats and liberal media outlets question his fitness, citing his 79 years of age, bruising on his hands and reports of swollen ankles. Trump told the Wall Street Journal he regrets taking the scan.
