Trump’s Health Visit Raises Questions
President Donald Trump’s health has been in the spotlight for months. In October, the 79-year-old visited Walter Reed Military Medical Center for an MRI. His doctor, Sean Barbabella, declared the president in “excellent overall health,” citing normal lab results, strong heart metrics, and updated flu and COVID-19 shots.
Aboard Air Force One, Trump told reporters the MRI was “perfect,” claiming his medical results were among the best for his age.
However, not everyone is convinced. Former White House physician Jeffrey Kuhlman questioned why Trump needed to go to Walter Reed for tests that could have been done at the White House in minutes. “It’s about an eight-minute helicopter ride from the South Lawn to Walter Reed,” Kuhlman told The Hill. “There’s a disconnect there.”
