Trump expressed regret about undergoing advanced imaging in October, saying the scans provided opponents with ammunition and implying no underlying problem. The imaging was clarified as a CT scan rather than an MRI, with medical staff confirming the distinction. Trump pledged to release favorable MRI-related results he described as "perfect," and referenced acing a cognitive test to dismiss brain concerns. Trump attributed visible hand bruises to long-term use of a higher aspirin dose for cardiac prevention and noted doctors preferred a lower dose. Trump pushed back against portrayals suggesting sleep issues while on duty.
"I would have been a lot better off if they didn't, because the fact that I took it said, 'Oh gee, is something wrong?' Well, nothing's wrong."
"It wasn't an MRI. It was less than that. It was a scan."
"I take the larger one, but I've done it for years, and what it does do is it causes bruising,"
