President Donald Trump appeared to have little to no understanding of why he underwent an MRI scan during his medical checkup last month, telling reporters aboard Air Force One that he had “no idea” what they analyzed. Asked by a reporter on Friday why he needed an MRI, the president replied that it was part of his physical.

“Getting an MRI is very standard. What, you think I shouldn’t have it? Other people do. The doctor said it was the best result he has ever seen as a doctor. That’s it. I have the physical every year and the result was outstanding I have no idea what they analyzed, but whatever they analyze, they analyzed it well and they said that I had as good a result as they’ve ever seen.”

I changed the layout. I hate when they quote then they use 'he replied' and then 'he continued'. It's a MSM thing from the last century from physical newspapers. There's a quote tag. Use it.

Bluesky comment

nonzero chance they told him an MRI is an alternate measure of IQ

The doctor said it was the best result he has ever seen as a doctor.

As someone who has gotten MRIs in the past, a good reading is called 'unremarkable' (nothing to remark on). I imagine he would be saying how rude the doctor was if his MRIs came back unremarkable.

I assume any savvy person around Trump does the same thing. To this face - they tell him exactly what he wants to hear. In documentation that he'll never read - they put the real info. And in this case it's funny because those two things could be polar opposites.

If the situation was unremarkable - the doctor wrote that. But then he told Trump how remarkable the results were. And if they hope Trump can get them a better job - they lathered on the bullshit. Best this best that incredible this incredible that, etc.

Lotsa people don't know this but the MRI score only stops at 100 for regular people. If you have very, very good genes the number can be up to 1,000. Trump very, very good genes so I got 977. Want higher next time.

He should be forced to obtain care only from doctors of RFKs choosing.

Doctor Vapors in a beak mask says it's far, far too early to judge Trump's MRI because the augury videos of ravens in flight has yet to be fully interpreted so it cannot be understood.
