He explained that going through with it was \u201cthe worst f\u2014\u2014 thing I ever did.\u201d <\/p>\n Keep reading to find out more\u2026<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n In October 2025, Trump<\/strong> told reporters on Air Force One that he\u2019d undergone an MRI<\/a>, an imaging test run by doctors. <\/p>\n Months later, his doctor Dr. Sean Barbabella<\/strong>, issued the results<\/a>. <\/p>\n Looking back, Trump <\/strong>said that he \u201cblame[d]\u201d his doctors \u2014 Barbabella <\/strong>and James Jones<\/strong> \u2014 for the decision.<\/p>\n \u201cThey wanted me to take it. And because I took it, people want to say, \u2018Oh, there must be something wrong,\u2019 \u201d he reflected, asking the doctors, who were also present, to break down why they wanted him to undergo the imaging test, which he called the \u201cstupidest thing I\u2019ve ever done.\u201d<\/p>\n Jones<\/strong> replied: \u201cWe asked him to do it because he had a scheduled trip at Walter Reed.\u201d While he was there, I asked him if we could complete some additional physical things that we were planning on doing annually. And he was like, \u2018Okay. We will work it in for time schedules.\u2019 \u201d <\/p>\n Continuing, he said that the test was \u201cMRI-like,\u201d but was not actually an MRI. <\/p>\n \u201cThe reason for the imaging, as routine as we stated, is that any patient his age could have things, and we ruled them out,\u201d Jones<\/strong> added. \u201cThe story should be about the fact that the results were, uh, perfect. They did not demonstrate any problems.\u201d<\/p>\n Earlier in his conversation, Trump<\/strong> threatened to sue New York magazine if they wrote what he deemed \u201ca bad story about my health.\u201d <\/p>\n \u201cThere will be a time when you can write that story, maybe in two years, three years, five years \u2014 five years, no one is going to care, I guess,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n If you missed it, Trump<\/strong> recently hinted at plans to stay in office<\/a> well after his second term ends. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
