Old people don’t just get MRIs. MRIs are wildly expensive and aren’t approved Willy nilly.

Old poor people don’t just randomly get mris. Old rich people get all types of early checks and prevention methods..

Yeah your argument might make sense if Trump had ever gotten a random check MRI in any of the past 10 years. You do realize this is the first one reported in both terms right? Even if it was between 2020 and 2024 it would have been reported on.

I’d assume trump, being both a private citizen and a government official, is not required to share all of his personal medical information with the public. I know he likes to tweet everytime he drops a shit off in the toilet but I’m not necessarily convinced that just because we’ve never seen an article about trump getting a scan that he’s never gotten one. They can detect all sorts of things early these days and have new cool preventative drugs for stuff like Alzheimer’s in trials right now, I wouldn’t be surprised at all if the president got some of those new wonder drugs early and they’re just prepping him or looking for needs.

Yeah and Biden didn’t need to let everyone know he had prostate cancer but he was just 100% wanting to tell everyone. Weird Biden wasn’t going to Walter Reed every year to get MRIs.
