Donald Trump's 2025 Walter Reed CT scan of his cardiovascular system and abdomen was normal, his physician confirmed after initial public confusion.
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump’s October 2025 medical examination at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center drew public attention after he discussed undergoing advanced imaging but initially offered few details about the procedure. The episode prompted questions about the purpose of the scan, the information released by the White House and the level of medical transparency expected of a sitting president.
Trump described the results as “perfect” when speaking with reporters aboard Air Force One in November. However, when asked which part of his body had been examined, he said he had “no idea,” adding that the procedure had not involved his brain.
The White House subsequently released a medical memorandum outlining the examination. President Trump’s physician, Navy Capt. Sean Barbabella, said the imaging focused on the president’s cardiovascular system and abdominal area and reported that the results were normal.
