President Donald Trump said Monday that he recently underwent an MRI scan but did not specify the reason for the test. “It was perfect,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One while traveling to Tokyo. The White House provided no further details about the examination or its purpose.
The 79-year-old president, the second-oldest in U.S. history, has faced recurring questions about his health since returning to office in January. Earlier this month, his physician, Dr. Sean Barbabella, reported that Trump was in “exceptional health” following a full medical evaluation.
In July, the White House disclosed that Trump was being treated for swelling in his lower legs and bruising on his right hand. Barbabella attributed the swelling to chronic venous insufficiency — a common circulatory condition in older adults — and the bruising to “minor soft tissue irritation” from frequent handshaking and aspirin use.
The White House has downplayed concerns about the president’s fitness, emphasizing that his cardiovascular regimen and test results remain stable. Officials have not commented on whether the MRI was related to the previously disclosed leg issue or another medical matter.
Trump, who is preparing for a high-profile Asia visit, has continued a busy travel schedule despite his age and recent health scrutiny.
