A former White House doctor shared that one moment raised concerns that President Trump ‘needs to be evaluated.’
Doctor Jonathan Reiner has urged Congress to order an immediate health review of the President Donald Trump after a series of concerns in recent months.
The expert has shared video which he believes needs to be ‘evaluated’ immediately by the President’s medical team.
Trump compares his ‘perfect’ health to former president
President Donald Trump, who once described himself as the ‘healthiest president that’s ever lived,’ continues to compare his ‘perfect’ health to that of former president Joe Biden, who is now battling can.cer.
In a controversial move late last year, Trump replaced the Biden’s presidential portrait in the White House with an image of an autopen.
Below the portrait now reads: “Sleepy Joe Biden was, by far, the worst President in American history.
“Taking office as a result of the most corrupt election ever seen in the US.”
However many people have their concerns about Trump’s health, too.
Donald Trump health concerns
Rumors of president Trump’s ill health have been spreading in the press and on social media for some time, particularly after he became the oldest sitting US President in American history in January 2025.
Speculation reached its peak in September, when the 79-year-old seemed to be missing for several days, having not attended meetings or conferences.
The rumors even caused Trump to take to his social media platform, Truth Social, to say: “NEVER FELT BETTER IN MY LIFE.”
Yet, this didn’t stop the health concerns from swirling.
Late last year, speculation heightened once again when people allegedly spotted a ‘mysterious lump‘ on the President’s body.
At the time, people questioned whether Trump was wearing a left ventricular assist device, which is an implantable pump that helps the heart move blood around the body – but this is extremely unlikely; the device requires open heart surgery.
After that, in December 2025, a bruise on the President’s left hand revived questions about his health.
Across a series of events, the 79-year-old was spotted with what appeared to be discoloration or light bruising on the back of his left hand – this comes after he’s been spotted with bruises seemingly on his right hand.
When asked on the matter, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt simply said (per CNN): “President Trump is a man of the people and he meets more Americans and shakes their hands on a daily basis than any other President in history.”
MRI scan
In late October 2025, the President told that he had an MRI at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.
“I got an MRI. It was perfect,” he said at the time. “I mean, I gave you the full results. We had an MRI and the machine, you know, the whole thing, and it was perfect.”
Trump shared that he had an MRI, though later reports said it was a CT scan, as per Forbes. This is a test that takes detailed pictures of the inside of your body.
Trump’s doctor, Sean Barbarella, told the Wall Street Journal it was performed to ‘definitively rule out any cardiovascular issues.’
Dr. Barbarella also spoke to ABC News, stating the President stays ‘in exceptional health and perfectly suited to execute his duties as Commander in Chief.’
Though the White House has stated the President is in good health, they did confirm in July of last year that Trump had been diagnosed with a chronic health condition.
