WASHINGTON – Former President Donald Trump said Sunday he woudl allow the release of results fromโ anโ MRI scan he underwentโ in October,โ responding โฃto recentโฃ questions about his health raised byโข Minnesotaโ Governor Tim Walz.โค Trump, speaking toโฃ reporters aboardโฃ Air Force One, claimedโ theโ scan resultsโข were “perfect” but stated he was โunsure what part of hisโ body was scanned, clarifying it was “not the brain”โ as he “aced” โa cognitive โtest.
The exchangeโฃ comes after Walz publicly questioned Trump’s physical and mental acuity,โ citing late-night social โฃmedia posts and suggesting a decline in the former president’s capabilities. The governor’s comments prompted โขaโ sharpโฃ rebukeโค fromโ Trump, โwho both defendedโฃ his use of derogatory language โขtoward Walz and asserted his own fitness. this debate underscores ongoing scrutiny โฃof candidates’ healthโ as the 2024 presidentialโ election cycle intensifies,โข a matter โof public interest โคgiven the demanding nature of the โoffice.
Trump stated, “If they want to release it,โค It’s okay with me to release it.” โขHe also referred to โWalz as “incompetent” andโฃ defended โฃcalling the Minnesota Governor “seriously retarded” in a Thanksgiving Day social media post, saying, “I think there’s something wrong withโ him.”
In a Sunday interviewโ with NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Walz questioned the plausibility โofโค Trump’sโข claim ofโข not knowing the purpose of the MRI, stating, “Hasโ anyoneโ in the history of theโ world ever had an MRI assigned to them and have no idea what it was for, as heโค says?” Walzโ further expressed concern over what he described as Trump’s “fading physically” and “rantingโฆcrazily,”โฃ adding, “We have โขsomeone, โat midnight, throwing around slurs that demonize ourโค children. And at the time,he’s not solving any ofโ the problems. Soโ I am deeply concerned thatโข he is incapable ofโ doing the job.”
