Trump's MRI: Oldest Prez Gets 'Perfect' Brain Scan, Hand Still Bruised

In a surprise sequel to Trump's Walter Reed visits, the 77-year-old commander-in-chief went for a second round of advanced imaging—you know, fancy MRI stuff—on his globe-trotting health saga. White House doc Captain Sean Barbabella waved the 'exceptional health' flag while swerving around questions about why exactly Trump needed the scan during his Asia trip. Meanwhile, the bruised hand drama since April was brushed off as handshaking innings mixed with aspirin abuse. Oh, and remember his July chronic venous insufficiency diagnosis? Basically, Trump's legs are RSVP-ing 'swollen and tired.' Yet, the president insists 'some of the best reports for the age' got stamped on his scan, because who doesn't love an MRI flex on Air Force One?
