In reply to the discussion: Doctor explains why Trump underwent MRI during annual physical [View all]Grammy23
(6,081 posts)20. The so-called results of the heart MRI are only part of the story.

If it isnt that, what is causing some of the symptoms and changes in his language skills that we are seeing every time he opens his mouth?
