Trump unleashes latest insult at female reporter as he says he will release MRI results

Source: The Independent

Monday 01 December 2025 04:17 EST


President Donald Trump has insulted another female reporter after he was asked about releasing the results of an MRI test that he announced he had taken earlier this month. The president took questions from reporters aboard Air Force One Sunday night, as he returned to Washington D.C. from his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida where he had celebrated Thanksgiving.

Trump was asked about recent calls by Minnesota Governor and former vice presidential candidate Tim Walz to release his MRI results after the president used a mental health slur in a long, rambling Truth Social post on Thanksgiving Day, calling the lawmaker “seriously r******.”

The president claimed, as he has done multiple times, that he had “aced” a cognitive test but told the reporter that she would be “incapable” of doing the same. It came after a male reporter asked Trump that “Governor Walz called for the release of your MRI results.” “They were perfect, like my phone call where I got impeached. Absolutely perfect,” the president replied. “If you want to have it released, I’ll release it.”

The female reporter, who was not identified, then asked: “Can you tell us what they were looking at?” prompting Trump to respond: “For what? Releasing?” “No, what part of the body was the MRI looking at? “ the reporter replied. “I have no idea. It was just an MRI,” Trump said. “It wasn’t the brain because I took a cognitive test and aced it. I got a perfect mark, which you would be incapable of doing.”

If you look at the accounts from E Jean Carroll and Stormy Daniels, Trump can come across
as quite charming, likable, and harmless.

Even Stormy was shocked that she initially fell for his con job and only
realized he was a very bad guy after he trapped her in his bedroom.
She is a sophisticated woman of the world, and she didn't realize the reality of Trump until
it was too late. She was kicking herself.

E Jean Carroll reports the same.

Here's something I noticed while watching my father fall into dementia. He often used anger as a coping mechanism to boost his alertness. It made him unpredictable. We found him in the middle of escalating conflicts at times. He was unprepared for the consequences.
There are levels of stupid at this point and time that have yet to play out.

My mom had that horrible disease. Blocked arteries and hypertension lead to strokes which lead to increasingly poor cognitive function. Every stroke kills some more of the brain.

A person can recover somewhat and go along ok for a while until another stroke hits. You never know when you're going to have another.

It sounds like the doctors at Walter Reed are monitoring the progress of a disease. It's not a stretch to guess they are using MRIs and cognitive tests to monitor the status of his brain and arteries.

As a malignant narcissist, Trump is incapable of admitting there's anything wrong with him. He'll continue to lie and deflect.

I had an MRI on a busted ankle and it was LOUD and IRRITATING. There is no way he had one and they didn't tell him what they were doing and he doesn't know.

Someone, anyone, please take this pathological lying mentally ill thing away. Anywhere but here.

would believe a word this turd says at this point. There’s no way in h*ll unless he was comatose he would be unaware of which part of his body was being imaged as part of the mri procedure. They are not remotely mysterious procedures; your body is manipulated around, which can be quite uncomfortable, to ensure optimal imaging of the targeted area — it’s not like one enters a mysterious room and just lies down while fog wafts around them and then POOF and mri has happened! I’m so tired of this fiends ludicrous and endless lies, all the time, lies about every single aspect of his pathetic life.

It can sneak up on you, like a silent Roomba, and image parts you never knew you had. I'm just grateful our president aced the imaging.



I hope your ankle is healed. I busted a wrist, way before MRI was invented, and I was LOUD and IRRITATING for days.

I don't see a "win" for him in saying that he doesn't know, it's not a self-serving falsehood. Could be a flare-up of pathological lying. Actually, that's probably the best-case scenario for him.

The worst-case scenario is if he's honestly uncertain about which body part was scanned.

They'd be fired and could not work in a health care setting ever again. HIPAA covers everyone from the janitor to the surgeon. I don't expect to see anything leaked from Walter Reed.

it is almost certain the he had a peripheral circulatory MRI and probably a cardiac MRI.

If he complained of (or presented during the examination) uneven weakness, altered gait, slurred speech or vision problems, they would have due a brain MRI.

Now, if you think for a moment that his doctors will release anything even slightly damning to his health, you have another think coming.

Watch him get out of his golf cart reciently. He had to swing his right leg out like it was numb. Dude had a brain scan, he had a stroke. And that’s from a doctors opinion I watched. His right hamstring is weak and he said it’s a sign of stroke.

male reporters refusing to defend a female reporter from an insulting low-life is what disgusts me more than the idiot fascist squatting in the White House. We can expect the Convicted Felon to be a sh!t. It's time for the male reporters, unless they are chickensh!t cowards, to step up. Maybe they can't because they are chickensh!t cowards.

Yeah, that's the ticket. The MRI is being 'audited' and can't be released. I expect that announcement next.

26. Here's why I believe he's ALREADY been diagnosed with dementia
Mon Dec 1, 2025, 12:35 PM
Monday

and why I believe that the Trump White House has been covering it up:

There are two Alzheimer's drugs -- Leqembi and Kisunla -- that can slow the disease's progression in its early stages. They are both administered via intravenous infusion and require MRI brain monitoring for detection of the possible side effects of swelling and bleeding of the brain. (Some doctors have opined that the bruising seen on Trump's hand is consistent with such infusions.)

Certainly it's possible that Trump is being treated for another condition that requires both infusions and brain MRIs. But you DEFINITELY aren't treated with Leqembi or Kisunla until AFTER you've been diagnosed with Alzheimer's; you don't get diagnosed with Alzheimer's until after you've shown enough of its symptoms; and Trump has DEFINITELY shown enough of its symptoms!
