you've ever seen. Not many people have ever heard of such a wonderful MRI of any body part. I mean every body part. President Trump is perfectly healthy. Everything looks just like the most perfect body and organs and very good brain.

That's the part of your body that's in the cylinder. So, unless he had a whole body MRI, he knows they scanned his pudding brain.

In every case, my entire body was in the cylinder - even the MRIs for my brain.

eta:
I do know that each time I've had an MRI, the technician confirms with me which body part is being scanned and the reason for it. They also ask me about my symptoms. Is Trump so incurious that he didn't even ask?

If it's an MRI of the brain, they put your head in a kind of "cage" and strap it down - same for any other part of the body, like an arm or leg. No strapping for spine or internal organs other than the brain.

In fact, because of MS, the only MRI scans I've ever had were brain, cervical spied & thoracic spine.
And I knew every time which they were doing.
Every 5 years for 30 years, so I'm talking a lot of scans.
And, as you said, I was in the tube to at least my knees.
I've heard that if they're scanning in the lower leg (peripheral neuropathy, I think) they put you in feet first so you're mostly out of the tube. But, I'm not sure if that's true because I've never had that done.

All he has to do now is grow a handlebar mustache and he'll look like the guy on the Pringles can.

Forearm x 2 (cancer)
Brain x 1 (rule out acoustic neuroma)
Breast x 2 (cancer)
Left foot x 1 (diagnose morton's neuroma)

It would be hard to have no clue as to what part of the body was being examined - the relevant body part was centered in a big clanky machine for about 20 minutes.

And plus the patient would already see the results or be told about by his doctor.

(they were checking out my enlarged prostate - scan indicated "no cause for concern", so it's just benign).

There'd be a clear giveaway if Trump was in any doubt why he was having the scan.

If they slid him into the machine butt-first, they were obviously checking out his brain.

Having just had a full battery of scans for MS reasons in June, I definitely was not put it butt-first.

Or is he still being audited so they can’t be released?

MRI's are not done for routine exams. If they did an MRI, they had a specific concern they were investigating. And he certainly would have been told what that is. He is hiding it.

Seriously balding skull. The Doctors said the image was a clean slate. He misinterpreted that meaning.
Clean slate means the slate was empty, nothing there, that slate was unused.

Way to noisy. Gee, I can feel those sounds in my bones.
It's loud even with the earplugs in.
