White House delivers President Trump’s ‘excellent’ physical results, crushing another legacy media narrative
As the legacy media has continued to raise concerns over President Trump’s health, press secretary Karoline Leavitt dispelled those rumors during a press briefing.
Physician to the president Captain Sean Barbabella, D.O., delivered the results of President Trump’s advanced imaging tests in a memorandum.
‘This level of detailed assessment is standard for an executive physical at President Trump’s age and confirms that he remains in excellent health.’
On Monday during a press briefing, Leavitt read the results of Trump’s MRI scan, which was part of a routine physical examination conducted in October.
The White House posted the summary of the report on X in fulfillment of Trump’s promise to make the results public, as Leavitt noted during the press briefing.

The report began by noting that these advanced imaging tests were conducted “because men in his age group benefit from a thorough evaluation of cardiovascular and abdominal health.” The tests were characterized as merely “preventative” in nature.
According to the report, Trump’s cardiovascular and abdominal imaging were “perfectly normal.”
In summary, the report concludes, “This level of detailed assessment is standard for an executive physical at President Trump’s age and confirms that he remains in excellent overall health.”
On Sunday night, a reporter asked Trump which part of the body the MRI examined.
“It wasn’t on the brain because I took a cognitive test and aced it. Which you would be incapable of doing,” Trump said, pointing at the reporter who asked the question.
“And you too,” he added, pointing at another reporter near him.
The media has consistently raised questions over President Trump’s health since his first term, but he has just as consistently shown no sign of slowing down.

Trump’s boat strikes may leave one Venezuelan drug-smuggling pirate haven in ruins
The Trump administration’s crackdown on illegal drug smuggling has reportedly prompted an economic collapse of one Venezuelan city.
Güiria, a port city dependent on the smuggling of illicit narcotics and other contraband, is facing economic challenges following the Trump administration’s strikes on suspected drug trafficking boats.
‘Everything is practically dead.’
The administration has launched numerous strikes in the Caribbean Sea in waters close to Venezuela in an effort to end the trafficking of drugs into the U.S.
“As we’ve said from the beginning, and in every statement, these highly effective strikes are specifically intended to be ‘lethal, kinetic strikes,'” Secretary of War Pete Hegseth stated. “The declared intent is to stop lethal drugs, destroy narco-boats, and kill the narco-terrorists who are poisoning the American people. Every trafficker we kill is affiliated with a Designated Terrorist Organization.”
“Our current operations in the Caribbean are lawful under both U.S. and international law, with all actions in compliance with the law of armed conflict — and approved by the best military and civilian lawyers, up and down the chain of command,” Hegseth added.
Several Güiria residents claim the strikes have brought their town’s economy to a standstill, according to a Friday report from Reuters.

The news outlet noted that Güiria “survives mostly on maritime smuggling of contraband, including drugs,” and it is also “partly sustained by informal trade in food and other goods with Trinidad and Tobago.”
“There was only movement in stores recently because of government bonus payments; otherwise, there’s no money circulating,” a food store clerk told Reuters.
“No boats of any kind are leaving for Trinidad and Tobago any more — not migrants, not people buying goods there to sell here, and certainly not those taking Venezuelan products to sell there, which was another way to make money. Everything is practically dead,” she stated.

The residents also reported an increase in the number of security personnel in the town since mid-September.
“They pass through the same areas many times, at all hours. Before, they weren’t so persistent; now they’re everywhere all the time,” a community leader told Reuters, referring to the security personnel.
“They’re all organized by the government — civilians and police go together supervising the streets,” another individual told the news outlet. “Everything seems calm except for the increased surveillance in the town.”
President Donald Trump has reportedly presented Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro with an ultimatum to relinquish control and flee the country.

Man fatally shoots 2 in Texas — tells cops pair followed him, tried to block his car, physically attacked him
Two males were fatally shot Friday night in Texas — and the man who pulled the trigger said the pair followed him, tried to block his car, and physically attacked him.
Deputies with the Harris County Sheriff’s Office told KTRK-TV the shooter said he acted in self-defense.
‘Looks like the 2 attackers had road rage. Is he not supposed to defend himself? Whatever it takes.’
Deputies responded around 8:45 p.m. to reports of a possible roadway shooting on Greengate Drive near Spring Stuebner Road in the Spring area, KHOU-TV said.
First responders told KTRK they found two males with gunshot wounds in the 22100 block of Greengate Drive; one died at the scene, and the other was taken to a hospital where he died.
The shooter said the pair followed his car for a while and tried to block him when he reached the neighborhood where the final confrontation took place, the sheriff’s office told KTRK.
Deputies added to KTRK that all three exited their vehicles, and the man who pulled the trigger said the pair started kicking him and his car.
“The shooter in the incident stayed on scene and surrendered himself to arriving deputies,” Sgt. Jason Brown noted to KHOU. The man who pulled the trigger is cooperating with investigators, the sheriff’s office told KTRK.
The fatally shot males have been identified as 57-year-old Timothy Underwood and 59-year-old Keith McDonald, KTRK said, citing the sheriff’s office.
No charges have been filed, officials told KTRK, and the shooter was not in custody.
However, the case was under investigation, and the district attorney’s office will review it, the sheriff’s office told KTRK.
When asked if the two males were armed, Brown told KHOU, “Not that we know of. We’re still in the process of going through the scene … but as of right now, we don’t believe that they were armed.”
Reactions under KHOU’s Facebook post about the fatal shootings were mixed:
- “They don’t have to be armed to do bodily harm or even kill you,” one commenter said.
- “They do if you’re in a car … because why don’t you just jump the curb to get away,” another commenter countered. “How are unarmed men going to hurt you if the doors are locked?”
- “FAFO,” another user bluntly noted before later adding, “Looks like the 2 attackers had road rage. Is he not supposed to defend himself? Whatever it takes.”
- “IDK … call me crazy, but if I felt my life was in danger, I would not park my car and get out of it … would you?” another commenter wondered. “Self-defense doesn’t work here. He was trigger happy and probably had road rage.”
