Trump is the oldest man to be inaugurated president, with the media increasingly turning their attention to the president's health after repeated photos since February show bruising on Trump's hand, while photos from July showed the president with swollen legs.

Leavitt, as well as Trump, repeatedly have brushed off questions and concern surrounding his health, pointing to physical examinations in April, and then again in October, that found the president "remains in excellent health."

Trump was questioned about the MRI Sunday evening, saying he would release the report while underscoring it was "perfect" and adding that it did not focus on scanning his brain.

"If they want to release it, it’s OK with me to release it," Trump said. "It’s perfect."
"If you want to have it released, I’ll release it," he continued.
Media concern over Trump's health follows the current White House's repeated criticisms of journalists over their lack of reporting on then-President Joe Biden's mental acuity and physical fitness when he served in the Oval Office.
The media did not have a large focus on Biden's health until the election cycle, when he was pressed to drop out his re-election effort to retain the White House as political allies called on him to pass the torch to a younger generation. Biden ultimately dropped out of the race in July 2024.
