In a recent White House press briefing, Karoline Leavitt, spokesperson for former President Donald Trump, downplayed concerns regarding his health, asserting that he is in excellent physical condition despite being 79 years old.
Leavitt’s comments came ahead of a significant review by the US Supreme Court on Trump’s tariffs targeting Canada, Mexico, and China, scheduled for the following day.
During the briefing, CNN’s Kristen Holmes inquired about Trump’s recent MRI scan, to which Leavitt responded by emphasizing Trump’s optimal physical health status based on previous medical evaluations and the detailed report from his latest check-up.
Holmes challenged Leavitt, highlighting the specific nature of an MRI scan compared to a routine check-up, questioning the lack of transparency surrounding Trump’s recent medical procedures.
Recent public appearances and speculations surrounding Trump’s health have sparked increased scrutiny, particularly after observations of bruises and swelling. However, Trump’s physician, Navy Captain Sean Barbabella, affirmed in a memo that Trump maintains exceptional health, with results indicating strong cardiovascular, pulmonary, neurological, and physical performance.
