Donald Trump is almost 80 years old. One of the problems with electing a president in his 80s is that there will be concerns about that person’s health. The presidency is the most important and, when done correctly, the most demanding job in the world.
Joe Biden has been much more transparent about his health than Donald Trump, and he has been consumed by the mainstream media who, for their own reasons of relevance and profit, had determined that Biden had to go.
Since Trump entered politics, he has kept his medical records and details of his health secret.
Most of what has been said about Trump’s health comes from America’s most unreliable narrator, Donald Trump.

On October 27, 2025, Trump told reporters he had a “perfect MRI”:
We had an MRI, an MRI and the machine, you know, all that, and it was perfect. I think they gave you a very conclusive result — no one ever gave you reports like I gave you, and if I didn’t think it was going to be good, I would either let you know negatively, or I wouldn’t show up, or I would do something. But the doctors presented some of the best reports for age, some of the best reports they’ve ever seen.
The press has been wondering about MRI for months.
Trump has now changed his story and claimed he never had an MRI. The president claims to have had a CT scan: “It wasn’t an MRI. It was less than that. It was a CT scan.”
