Was It Your Brain? Reporter Asks Trump About MRI and Is Told 'I Have No Idea What They Analyzed '

Source: Mediaite

President Donald Trump admitted having "no idea what they analyzed" when he underwent an MRI during a recent trip to Walter Reed Medical Center.

Last month, Trump casually revealed he underwent magnetic resonance imaging, which
the White House has dubiously insisted is "standard" for routine physicals. In a statement
about the visit, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt referred to Trump's exam as his "annual checkup" which as some have pointed out, is the President's second this year.

We all know the the reason we are being medically examined.
He will not let any weakness show. Too big of an ego ?

as usual. A doctor wouldn’t give a test like that without explaining why.

based on the way Trump first responded to the question about it. And of course, whether MRI or CT Scan, the doctors surely at least told him what body part they were checking.

And the info was hone from his brain 2 minutes later. The man is a demented geriatric who should be in an old folks home. And we are governed... if you can call it that... by a cabal of xtian nazis.

after any doctor's visit.

I have never had an MRI, but you could bet I would be on my chart reading both the test results and the visit summary, using Google to understand words I don't know.

because he doesn't have one, and wondered what body part they substituted instead.

non-medical people.

After the hospital visit, he was asked if he had an M.R.I. He answered in the positive, while making back and forth motions with his hands. CATS go back and forth. MRI's are stationary.

is all they care about. It is a waste of time to me even discussing his glaring mental disturbance. To them, he is doing God's work and that is all they care about.

Or Pam Bondi or maybe K$H or Saint Mike or Lindsey. Some people are saying there's a condo project up there.
