"Stephen Colbert has panned claims by President Donald Trump's physician that men in his age group benefit from MRI scans as scrutiny around the president's health intensifies, with the Late Show host prescribing his own medicine for the commander-in-chief: Retiring!"
"The jab came after the administration released results of an October MRI on Monday, with Trump's physician, Dr. Sean Barbabella, insisting the president is in excellent health and that the scan was given because men in his age group benefit from a thorough evaluation of cardiovascular and abdominal health."
"The release came after Minnesota Governor Tim Walz kick-started a firestorm by daring the president to release the scan results, clapping back to Trump calling him seriously retarded in a Thanksgiving Truth Social post. On The Late Show Monday night, Colbert initially feigned acceptance of the doctor's assessment. OK, fair enough, he said, before adding, Men in his age group also benefit from retiring. So can we write that prescription next? he concluded."
Stephen Colbert mocked claims that President Donald Trump's physician said men in the president's age group benefit from MRI scans, and joked that retirement would be a better prescription. The administration released results of an October MRI with Dr. Sean Barbabella asserting the president is in excellent health and that the scan evaluated cardiovascular and abdominal health. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz had urged release of the scan after a Truth Social exchange in which Trump insulted him. The MRI was described as part of a routine yearly checkup, occurring six months after the prior physical, while the White House defended the president against a New York Times report questioning his stamina.
