The corporate media's obsession – or lack thereof, depending on who occupies the Oval Office – with presidential health is something to behold. They were entirely incurious about former President Joe Biden's obvious cognitive decline and delighted in gaslighting the American public about it, but are at hair-on-fire alert levels when President Donald Trump sports a bruise or retains a little water.
It's all deflection, of course. The media goes extra hard in demanding health transparency from President Trump's staff and medical team in the hopes we'll all just forget about the fact that so-called journalists spent four years running cover for a feeble old man who had no business being anywhere near the nuclear football. I believe we call that "media malpractice."

The Trump White House, as it turns out, has nothing to hide when it comes to the current president's health. As President Trump himself promised over the weekend – “If you want to have it released, I’ll release it,” he told the media on board Air Force One as he returned Sunday from Mar-a-Lago – the White House on Monday released the full results of the president's recent MRI.
And it's chock full of good news, with President Trump's personal physician, Captain Sean Barbadella, D.O., writing "everything evaluated is functioning within normal limits" and the president "remains in excellent overall health."

As part of President Donald J. Trump's comprehensive executive physical, advanced imaging was performed because men in his age group benefit from a thorough evaluation of cardiovascular and abdominal health. The purpose of this imaging is preventive: to identify issues early, confirm overall health, and ensure he maintains long-term vitality and function.
President Trump's cardiovascular imaging is perfectly normal. There is no evidence of arterial narrowing impairing blood flow or abnormalities in the heart or major vessels. The heart chambers are normal in size, the vessel walls appear smooth and healthy, and there are no signs of inflammation, or clotting. Overall, his cardiovascular system shows excellent health.
His abdominal imaging is also perfectly normal. All major organs appear very healthy and well-perfused. Everything evaluated is functioning within normal limits with no acute or chronic concerns.
President Trump's approach to sharing transparent updates on his health has been a welcome and radical departure to the gaslighting of the Biden administration. Time and again, however, the usual media suspects try to make Trump's health a front-page issue, and, time and again, the receipts show a man who is doing remarkably well for someone who's knocking on 80.
