Transcript

00:00Trump touts perfect MRI. President Donald Trump proudly revealed a recent MRI was perfect.

00:08Trump, 79, spoke with reporters on Air Force One Monday about the MRI and a cognitive test

00:15during his secondary physical at Walter Reed, per The Hill. He did not give a reason for the MRI,

00:21only to say it was perfect. I got an MRI. It was perfect, Trump said. He also spoke about

00:28his transparency in the matter. Nobody has ever given you reports like I gave you. And if I didn't

00:34think it was going to be good either, I would let you know negatively, Trump said. I wouldn't run,

00:40I'd do something. But the doctor said some of the best reports for the age, some of the best reports

00:45they've ever seen. He also spoke of his cognitive test and downplayed how representatives, Jasmine

00:52Crockett and Alexandria Cortez would do. You give her an IQ test. Have her pass, like the exams that

00:59I decided to take when I was at Walter Reed, Trump said about Ocasio-Cortez. I took those. They are

01:06very hard. They're really aptitude tests, I guess, in a certain way. The first couple of questions are

01:13easy. A tiger, an elephant, a giraffe, you know. When you get up to about five or six, and then when

01:19you get up to 10 and 20 and 25, they couldn't come close to answering any of those questions,

01:24Trump added, per IJR. Earlier in October, Trump had a semi-annual physical at Walter Reed National

01:32Military Medical Center, The Hill reported. Dr. Sean Barbabella, Trump's physician, said Trump

01:38continues to demonstrate excellent overall health. Barbabella added, Trump had advanced imaging,

01:44laboratory testing, and preventative health assessments. In July, Trump was diagnosed with

01:50chronic venous insufficiency, a benign and common condition, particularly in individuals over the

01:56age of 70. This is consistent with minor soft tissue irritation from frequent handshaking and the use of

02:03aspirin, which is taken as part of a standard cardiovascular prevention regimen. This is a well-known

02:09and benign side effect of aspirin therapy.
