Scott Jennings Tells CNN Why Narrative About Trump’s Health Is Bogus

Republican strategist Scott Jennings pushed back Tuesday night against growing Democratic insinuations about President Donald Trump’s health, saying the entire storyline is bogus.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Monday that Trump underwent a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in October as part of a routine checkup to rule out cardiovascular issues. During a panel on “The Arena with Kasie Hunt,” the host pressed Jennings as to why Trump abruptly mentioned an MRI and whether it signaled confusion or health concerns. Jennings dismissed the entire premise outright.

“I honestly think this is an attempt to create a narrative about this guy that just doesn’t exist because Democrats are so butthurt over having to live through the humiliation of the White House under Biden, claiming he was fine when he clearly wasn’t,” Jennings told Hunt. “They want to transfer that to Donald Trump. It’s just not the same. It’s not true. And, you know, I can only speak from my personal experience. He seemed fine to me.”

Jennings said Trump then led a marathon, three-hour Cabinet meeting earlier Tuesday before taking questions from reporters, as he typically does.
