Trump's Health Check: What's Normal and What's Not?

President Donald Trump, at 79, had a thorough health check-up last October. His doctor, Captain Sean Barbabella, shared the results. The MRI scans of Trump's heart and belly were "perfectly normal. " This means no blockages in his arteries or problems with his heart or major blood vessels. His belly organs also looked good, with no urgent or long-term issues. Some folks, especially Democrats, wanted to see these results. They had questions about Trump's age and health for a second term. The White House kept quiet about the MRI at first. But later, Trump said it was fine to share the results. He even joked about not knowing which part of his body was scanned. He did remember it wasn't his brain, though, because he "aced" a cognitive test. The doctor said the MRI was part of a standard check-up for someone Trump's age. It's like a preventative step to catch any issues early and keep Trump healthy. The White House shared this info to be transparent, as promised. But not everyone agrees that MRIs are standard for preventive care. Some doctors say it's unusual for such scans to come back "perfectly normal" with no signs of coronary calcification. Still, some people choose extra tests beyond the usual guidelines.
