Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Monday, November 03, 2025

President Trump's off-the-cuff disclosure that he underwent an MRI scan is raising fresh questions about the secrecy surrounding Trump's health and the need for presidents to be more transparent. Trump is the oldest person to be elected president, and his aides and allies have long projected him as the picture of strength and vitality. Outside physicians initially raised questions after Trump visited Walter Reed Military Medical Center earlier this month for what the White House described as a routine follow-up visit, though it was his second visit in six months. A note from his physician pronounced Trump in "excellent overall health." Later, Trump disclosed that he underwent an MRI and a cognitive test during the secondary physical. "I got an MRI, it was perfect," Trump told reporters on Air Force One.

In 2015, Trump released a letter from his then-physician Harold Bornstein that said he would be the healthiest president in history. Two years later, Bornstein admitted Trump dictated the letter himself.
