The President of the United States, Donald Trump, who recently opened up about undergoing an MRI scan during his visit to the Walter Reed Military Center, has now given a rare update about his physical condition amid ongoing health speculation.
Following US President Donald Trump's meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, he was seen aboard Air Force One. A video from the scene has since gone viral showing the President sharing about his health once again. The clip has been widely shared on social media, including the White House's Rapid Response handle.
Donald Trump, 79, while aboard Air Force One, told the media, "These are rough winds in Asia, I must tell you. This is a rough flight... they're going to be watching Trump, they're going to say, 'He didn't look too good, he's got the shakes!"
POTUS's remark about people saying "he's got the shakes" comes amid a longstanding discussion about his health. Just as speculation around his condition began to subside, his recent statement about undergoing an MRI scan, which seemed to contradict the official White House statement reignited the debate.
Previously, while aboard Air Force One to Tokyo, Donald Trump told a leading media outlet, "I did, I got an MRI, it was perfect, yep...I gave you the full results. We had an MRI and the machine, you know, the whole thing, and it was perfect."
Upon asking what the healthcare providers were actually examining on him during the MRI Scan, Donald Trump said, "You could ask the doctors. In fact, we have doctors travelling with us. But I think they gave you a very conclusive...nobody has ever given you reports like I gave you."

In a post shared on October 10 by the White House on X (previously Twitter), Trump's physician Sean Barbabella wrote in a memo, "President Donald Trump remains in exceptional health, exhibiting strong cardiovascular, pulmonary, neurological, and physical performance...His cardiac age-a validated measure of cardiovascular vitality via ECG-was found to be approximately 14 years younger than his chronological age. He continues to maintain a demanding daily schedule without restriction."
