President Trump is kicking himself. He knows he should have handled this situation better.
And Donald Trump reveals one of his biggest regrets so far during his second term.
President Donald Trump is firing back at the endless smears from Democrats and their media allies, revealing that his recent medical checkup involved a simple CT scan—not the MRI the left has been hyping up to stir doubts about his fitness.
In a recent interview with the Wall Street Journal, Trump set the record straight, showing once again why he’s the most transparent leader America has seen in years.
“It wasn’t an MRI,” Trump said to the outlet. “It was less than that. It was a scan.”
This comes amid a barrage of baseless attacks on Trump’s health, especially after his October visit to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. That was his second checkup of 2025, following an April exam where White House physician Navy Capt. Sean P. Barbabella declared the commander-in-chief “remains in exceptional health.”
Trump has signaled that he regrets the scan, not because there’s anything wrong, but because it handed ammunition to his haters.
“In retrospect, it’s too bad I took it because it gave them a little ammunition. I would have been a lot better off if they didn’t, because the fact that I took it said, ‘Oh gee, is something wrong?’ Well, nothing’s wrong,” Trump stated.
For those wondering about the difference, CT scans use X-rays for quick internal images, often in routine or emergency checks, while MRIs rely on magnets and radio waves for more detailed views but take longer.
The president has been under fire from the left for months, with phony concerns about his age, hand bruises, and swollen ankles. But Trump isn’t backing down. Just last Friday, he announced on Truth Social that he’d crushed his third cognitive exam, proving his sharpness once more.
“The White House Doctors have just reported that I am in “PERFECT HEALTH,” and that I “ACED” (Meaning, was correct on 100% of the questions asked!), for the third straight time, my Cognitive Examination, something which no other President, or previous Vice President, was willing to take,” Trump stated.
He didn’t stop there, calling for mandatory cognitive tests for anyone running for president or vice president.
Dr. Barbabella backed it all up in a statement to Fox News Digital, explaining that during the October visit, they offered Trump either an MRI or CT to rule out any heart issues.
“In order to make the most of the president’s time at the hospital, we recommended he undergo another routine physical evaluation to ensure continued optimal health,” Barbabella stated.
“As part of that examination, we asked the president if he would undergo advanced imaging — either an MRI or CT Scan — to definitively rule out any cardiovascular issues. The president agreed, and our team of consultants performed a CT Scan. As we revealed in the post-examination report, the advanced imaging was perfectly normal and revealed absolutely no abnormalities.”
Even better, Barbabella noted that Trump’s heart health makes him seem 14 years younger.
“President Trump’s medical evaluations and laboratory results continue to show excellent metabolic health, and have revealed his cardiovascular health puts him 14 years younger than his age. Overall, the President remains in exceptional health and perfectly suited to execute his duties as Commander in Chief,” she said.
Trump’s story here isn’t just about a clean bill of health—it’s a reminder of his unbreakable spirit against a rigged system.
While the left peddles fear and lies, Trump’s proving every day why America needs him at the helm, fit as ever and ready to fight.
