Trump’s off-the-cuff disclosure that he underwent an MRI scan is raising fresh questions about the secrecy surrounding Trump’s health and the need for presidents to be more transparent.

Trump is the oldest person to be elected president, and his aides and allies have long projected him as the picture of strength and vitality.

Outside physicians initially raised questions after Trump visited Walter Reed Military Medical Center earlier this month for what the White House described as a routine follow-up visit, though it was his second visit in six months.

    There are many reasons why an 80 year old could need frequent MRIs. My mother has them every 6 months. The question no one is asking is where are they looking. If it’s the head, the are tracking the rate of loss of brain volume. Regardless, Ronald Reagan had dementia while in office, it just made him quiet and submissive. Trump has senile dementia onset irritability. It’s why he flies off and spews nonsense.

    Maybe the US should stop electing the oldest government in the world?
