If "it was perfect" is even only a half truth, what there is to read in this is "the MRI didn't find the cause of the problem I had it done to look for"

It could totally be "Yeah, they confirmed exactly what they thought the problem was, and it's hella serious."
“My tests came back and they were all good” “No Donny they said they came back positive”

Did they find orange seeds in his skull?
Naw that part of his body is empty
He probably has some brain worms he got from RFK in there starting to death

I can't wait for his legs to explode like microwaved hot dogs.
Once they start squealing, that's a bad sign.
I can hear it now!
79 years olds don’t just get mris
He watched a football game and saw someone had to get an MRI, thus he now thinks he had an MRI and also plays for the Los Angeles Chargers
1 he would never play for an LA team
2 he would likely not play for an AFC team. This man is 100% rooted in the 80s/90s mentality. If anything he would play for an NFC East team as most of them won a superbowl during those decades. So the Dallas Cowboys, the New York Football Giants, or the Washington Redskins( now the commanders). Unlikely he wants anything to do with the Philadelphia Eagles.
3 i put way to much thought into this....
It’d be the Cowboys, they are the only team in the NFC who is garbage enough to want him. The Giants should have a bright future ahead of them with Dart under center. The Commies don’t need to get even older, they are already ancient. The Eagles don’t need a talentless hack right now when they are already struggling. And the Cowboys are just a perennial joke since their dynasty so he’ll be welcome there.

I have had more MRIs that the average person I'm guessing. Probably around a dozen over the last 20 years. They have all been to try and diagnose soft tissue injuries or conditions. Never once have I been given a preventative MRI, they've always been targeted because that's just the nature of MRIs.
Trump didn't pull some muscle doing strenuous activities. I'm guessing brain or chest, neither something you want needing a scan at 79 years old.
In fairness the US healthcare system does prioritize rich people. You can get preventative MRI scans if willing to pay.
The question is, did any other US President have preventative MRIs done? I've never heard.
I was thinking how it could be the next step in preventative medicine if as part of one's annual physical that not just bloodwork but a full-body MRI could be granted in a universal health care system.
Imagine what that could do in stopping issues before they snowballed, and the value for medical studies...
Wonder where all the dickheads that spent years speculating about Hillary being at death's door and Biden "campaigning from his basement" and similar concern-trolling are now?
Out there being disingenuous pricks.

God, do you remember how in The West Wing, how the biggest scandal, the thing that nearly broke up his administration, was that the president didn't reveal info about his health during the campaign?
Can you even imagine with this admin, holy fucking shit

I'm no longer worried about anything about this health ... he's freakin old, senile and stupid ... and I've known that for years
I'm more worried about the general mental health of the United States that allows this stupidity to continue.

Might have something to do with him not being able to see out of his right eye.
Pardon?
He turns his head left to look left, but turns his body right to look right. He also cants his head slightly to the right when standing "still".
All signs of right eye blindness.
MIGHT HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH HIM NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE OUT OF HIS RIGHT EYE
I like how you said it "louder".

Related to his recent stroke? The droopy face was a giveaway.
It would be funny if Trump died before Biden. Guess who's old now?!?
The only thing I'd take issue with is the statement that MRIs are only for serious issues. I had a pain in my toe and the podiatrist wanted me to get an MRI. Nothing serious there lol so much so that my oh so wonderful insurance company denied the request even though the podiatrist said an ultrasound wouldn't show him anything useful...
I wouldn't get my hopes up, this is Trump, and we live in the absolute shit timeline. Trump is going to be ~~dictator~~ "president" until he's 115...
Naah, the dementia that Fred Trump had is already hitting Don.
Hence the MRI - they're likely looking for the plaques or lesions that form in Alzheimer's patents.
Some forms of dementia can also change the actual structure of the brain, so they could have been looking at that.
Dementia is inheritable so Don's likely worried, and to the fact he desn't sleep, only adds to the risk.
Delightful, no?
Dementia is hard enough to deal with as a family member struggling with an unruly, unwilling sufferer. I can't even imagine what this narcissistic blowhard is going to force us all to deal with during his decline. :/

That's what happens when you have a stroke, fingers crossed he'll keep having them
You don't want several mood altering ones. You just want one gigantic, face-sloping, mind-mulching one.
Fronto temporal dementia. Ftd.
Neuropsychologist have been saying it for years.
These scans are also to monitor white matter loss.

Disclaimer: I am not diagnosing anything and I am not a physician, just a medical student.
My guess: Congestive heart failure, possibly with dilated cardiomyopathy, and AFib that's throwing clots into cerebral circulation causing microvascular damage and TIAs. They put you on pretty hefty blood thinners (WAY more than aspirin) if you have AFib and signs of previous embolism/stroke.

~2016 IBM's Deep Blue neural network project team was presenting audio analysis that could tell a doctor if a patient had a neurodegenerative disease, what the exact disease was, or was intoxicated and specifically on which drugs, in any language. I know for a fact they fed Trump interviews into the algorithm and the result surprised no one. That was 9 years ago. The MRI is tracking the rate of brain mass loss.
I am just waiting for him to blurt out that he did this new thing called a PET scan, can you believe it? A scan for your pets. Nobody ever heard about this thing before, but he passed it with flying colors.
“They put me in the Tube, folks. I said to the guy, ‘it’s so loud in here, can we get a quieter Tube? We need a quieter Tube” and he said no, this was already the best Tube, better than the ones on Grey’s Anatomy. I do some of my best thinking in the Tube, folks. I came up with Trump Tube Steaks, better than Nathan’s, made with Argentinian beef. They’re gonna be the best Tube Steaks on the market.”
They were attempting to do a brain scan, but it threw a 404.
This guy is so dense that he doesn't realize MRIs come with reasons for needing an MRI.
Results in: no spine or brains located. It's just one big colon from lips to ass.
10 dollars on trying to find lewy body dementia.
