Doctors Push Back

Dr. Jonathan Reiner, who served as Dick Cheney's cardiologist, took to X to urge the president to stop boasting about a dementia screening. Reiner highlighted specific test items and called for all presidential candidates to have full physicals with public disclosure. He noted the president's next annual comprehensive exam is due next month.

Medical Details and Reactions

Trump previously completed the MoCA in April 2025 during his Walter Reed exam and underwent an MRI late last year; White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt released a physician summary saying cardiovascular imaging was normal. Radiology expert Dr. Michael Fox commented that patients typically know which body part is scanned and that MRIs require a prescription. Trump has insisted he "feels great," while reports have pointed to swollen ankles, a neck rash, bruised hands and an instance where he appeared to nod off during a meeting.
