'Slanderous:' White House lashes out at doctor who says they believe Trump 'had a stroke'

Responding to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt’s abuse of a doctor who said he thinks President Donald Trump suffered a stroke, the former Clinton aide Sidney Blumenthal, whose podcast surfaced the claims, demanded release of the president’s full medical records.
“The simple way to clear all this up is to release all of Trump’s medical records including his MRI,” Blumenthal told Raw Story.
Amid widespread speculation about Trump’s health, the 79-year-old president recently told reporters he had an MRI, then said it was actually a CT scan.
Those remarks sprang back into the public square this week, after Professor Bruce Davidson, of Washington State University Elson S. Floyd College of Medicine, spoke to Blumenthal and the Princeton historian Sean Wilentz, co-hosts of the Court of History podcast.
Davidson said: “My impression is President Trump has had a stroke, and I think there's several lines of evidence supporting that. I think his stroke was on the left side of the brain, which controls the right side of the body."
Davidson believes Trump suffered a stroke “six months ago or more, earlier in 2025.”
