Trump confirms secondary physical included MRI, cognitive test

During a discussion with reporters on Monday, President Trump shared that earlier in the year, he had both an MRI and a cognitive assessment as part of his “secondary” check-up at Walter Reed Medical Center.

While the president did not specify why the MRI was conducted, he assured that the complete results were released publicly and described the examination as “perfect.”

“I had an MRI, and it came back perfect,” Trump mentioned to journalists aboard Air Force One while heading to Japan.

“No one has ever presented you with reports like the ones I’ve provided,” Trump continued. “If I thought there was a negative outcome, I would have informed you. I wouldn’t pursue certain paths if that were the case. The doctors told me these were some of the finest reports for my age that they have encountered.”

Additionally, Trump disclosed that he took a cognitive test, after suggesting that Representatives Jasmine Crocket (D-Texas) and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) might benefit from similar evaluations, implying they possess low IQs.

“Administer an IQ test to her. Let her pass, just like the exams I chose to take at Walter Reed,” Trump said, referencing Ocasio-Cortez. “Those tests are challenging; they’re really aptitude assessments, in a way.”

“The first couple of questions are easy. A tiger, an elephant, a giraffe, you know. When you get up to about five or six, and then when you get up to 10 and 20 and 25, they couldn’t come close to answering any of those questions,” Trump added.

The president’s comments come after he underwent a medical evaluation for a “semiannual physical” at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center earlier this month. Trump’s physician Sean Barbabella said Trump “continue[s] to demonstrate excellent overall health.” Barbabella also said the president underwent “advanced imaging, laboratory testing and preventative health assessments” during the visit. 

In July, Barabella said  the president was diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, “a benign and common condition, particularly in individuals over the age of 70” following an appointment. 

“Additionally, recent photos of the president have shown minor bruising on the back of his hand, Barbabella wrote. ”This is consistent with minor soft tissue irritation from frequent handshaking and the use of aspirin, which is taken as part of a standard cardiovascular prevention regimen. This is a well-known and benign side effect of aspirin therapy.”
