Trump denies heart attack prompted sudden hospital visit ‘I had a very routine physical,’ Trump insists as speculation intensifies after he stayed out of the public eye for two days following hospital trip
As speculation over Donald Trump’s unscheduled trip to the hospital last weekend continued, the president denied he had suffered a heart attack.
“I had a very routine physical,” Trump insisted to reporters on Tuesday morning before a cabinet meeting, adding: “I was out of there very quickly and got back home.”
The president said the rest of the examination would take place in January and repeated his claim that while at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, on Saturday, he also visited the family of a badly injured soldier and toured the hospital.
When Trump returned to the White House, he said, “My wife Melania said, ‘Darling, are you OK? … They are reporting you may have had a heart attack.’
“I said, ‘Why did I have a heart attack?’ ‘Because you went to Walter Reed Medical Center.’ That’s where we go when we get the physical. I said I was only there for a very short period of time.”
He added: “I was called by our people in public relations: ‘Sir, are you OK?’ I said ‘OK for what?’ ‘The word is you had a heart attack. CNN said you may have had a heart attack. You had massive chest pains. You went to the hospital.’”
Such reports, he claimed, showed that “the press really in this country is dangerous”.
