“If they want to release it, I’m fine with it. It’s perfect,” Trump told reporters on the presidential plane on Sunday.
When asked by a reporter which part of his body was scanned with an MRI, Trump replied: “I have no idea. It was just an MRI – which part of the body? It wasn’t the brain because I took a cognitive test and I was perfect [na tome]”, he said.
Trump ends his Q&A on AF1 by making reporters question their careers:
Q: What part of the body was your MRI?
TRUMP: It wasn’t the brain. I took a cognitive test and aced it. Which YOU would be incapable of doing. *looks at another reporter* YOU TOO! pic.twitter.com/bxifhvyMba

Trump’s comments came after Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz insisted that Trump release the MRI results in response to his Thanksgiving post on his Truth Social social network in which he criticized Walz for his treatment of the state’s Somali community, using an insult.
“Has anyone in the history of the world ever had an MRI and had no idea why, he says?” Walz later wondered in an interview with NBC, as reported by CNN.
Trump revealed in October that he had an MRI at the famed Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, which the White House called the president’s “routine annual checkup.” But Trump did his annual systematic review in April.
After revealing to reporters that he had an MRI, Trump said they should ask his doctors why he had an MRI. The reason has not been given so far.
In early November, CNN reporter Kristen Holmes asked Karoline Leavitt why Trump had an MRI, and she said, “I’ll check on that later,” but no further information was revealed, reports Jutarnji.
“The president is in optimal physical health every day. This was a follow-up examination and we provided a detailed report of that examination,” Leavitt said, however.
The White House announced in July that Trump had been diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, a condition in which the valves inside certain veins don’t work as they should, which can cause blood to pool in the veins.
The condition is diagnosed in about 150,000 people in the US each year, and the risk increases with age. CNN Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta said in September that chronic venous insufficiency is not uncommon in the elderly. He said it’s a condition that prevents blood from “leaving the limb properly” and causes swelling.
