Trump reveals shocking reason he was admitted to hospital amid health concerns

Donald Trump has revealed the reason behind his recent hospital visit.

The president's health has made headlines ever since he was spotted with a 'large bruise' on his hand earlier this year, which his team seemingly attempted to cover up with what appeared to be a massive amount of makeup.

The 79-year-old was also diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), a condition that occurs when your leg veins become damaged and can’t work as they should.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt revealed earlier this month that Trump would be visiting the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for an annual health checkup.

Leavitt said: "President Trump will stop by for his routine yearly check up. He will then return to the White House. President Trump is considering going to the Middle East shortly thereafter."

But CNN reported that Trump had visited Walter Reed back in April in what the White House described as his 'annual physical examination'.

Now, Trump has detailed the tests he underwent during the October 10 hospital visit, revealing he underwent an MRI scan.

An MRI scan is a 'test that creates clear images of the structures inside your body using a large magnet, radio waves and a computer', the Cleveland Clinic notes.

Speaking to press onboard Air Force One on Monday (October 27), the POTUS said: "I gave you the full results. We had an MRI, and the machine, you know, the whole thing, and it was perfect."

Trump did decline to say why he had the scan, however, adding to reporters: "Nobody has ever given you reports like I gave you. And if I didn't think it was going to be good, either, I would let you know negatively, I wouldn't run, I'd do something."

The president doesn't seem too worried regarding his health though, concluding: "The doctor said some of the best reports for the age, some of the best reports they've ever seen."

Speculation surrounding Trump's health reached unprecedented levels earlier this year after bizarre rumors claimed he had died.

The noise was fueled by a number of factors, including comments made by Vice President JD Vance.

At the time, Vance insisted he could become the president in the event of a 'terrible tragedy'.

"I've had a lot of on-the-job training in the last 200 days, but the president is in incredibly good health. He's got incredible energy," he told USA Today in August.

"While most of the people who work around the president of the United States are younger than he is, I think that we find that he's actually the last person to go to sleep, he's the last person making phone calls at night, and he's the first person who wakes up and is the first person making phone calls in the morning."

Trump later hit back at the speculation, saying: "NEVER FELT BETTER IN MY LIFE."
