Trump Reveals Reason Behind Hospital Visit
Donald Trump has finally addressed questions about his recent hospital visit, revealing new details about the medical tests he underwent.
Concerns Over Trump’s Health
The 79-year-old president’s health has sparked ongoing discussion since he was photographed earlier this year with a noticeable bruise on his hand. Observers claimed his team tried to conceal it with heavy makeup.
Trump was later diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) — a condition that affects the veins in the legs and restricts proper blood flow.
Routine Checkup at Walter Reed
Earlier this month, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced that Trump would visit Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for his annual health check.
“President Trump will stop by for his routine yearly checkup and then return to the White House,” Leavitt said. “He is also considering a trip to the Middle East shortly thereafter.”
CNN later reported that Trump had already visited Walter Reed back in April for what officials called his “annual physical examination.”
Trump Details His MRI Scan
Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One on October 27, Trump shared that his latest visit included an MRI scan.
“I gave you the full results,” he said. “We had an MRI, and the whole thing was perfect.”
Trump declined to explain why the scan was necessary but insisted there was nothing to worry about. “Nobody has ever given you reports like I gave you,” he told reporters. “If I thought it wasn’t going to be good, I would tell you.”
“Never Felt Better”
Despite public concern, Trump appeared confident about his health. “The doctor said some of the best reports for my age — some of the best they’ve ever seen,” he added.
Rumors and Reassurances
Speculation about Trump’s health escalated earlier this year after wild rumors claimed he had died. The story gained traction after comments by Vice President JD Vance, who said he was prepared to lead in the event of a “terrible tragedy.”
Vance later clarified his remarks, assuring the public that Trump was in excellent condition. “He’s got incredible energy,” Vance told USA Today. “He’s the last to go to sleep and the first to wake up, always making calls and getting things done.”
Trump quickly dismissed the rumors himself, writing on Truth Social: “NEVER FELT BETTER IN MY LIFE.”
