Trump says he has no interest in viewing his health records: 'I don’t want to know right now'

Trump: The new standards will also make it simple for patients to access their own personal health records. I don't want to see mine, please. I don't want to see… They can tell you exactly what your problem is going to be in 6 years— I don’t want to know about it pic.twitter.com/GUI1z4XrmA

WASHINGTON, DC: President Donald Trump announced a sweeping initiative to modernize and personalize the US healthcare system through partnerships with major tech companies during a White House event on July 30 titled "Make Health Tech Great Again".
But it was a quip about his health that quickly stole the spotlight. “If I’ve got a problem, I don’t want to know about it right now,” Trump joked while discussing new digital access to medical records, fueling debate about the 79-year-old president’s physical and cognitive fitness.
Donald Trump shows no interest in accessing his health records
President Donald Trump took the stage Wednesday, July 30, at the White House for an event dubbed “Make Health Tech Great Again,” aimed at showcasing new efforts to modernize the US healthcare system.

Hosted by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), the event highlighted partnerships with major private-sector companies focused on creating smarter, more secure, and more personalized healthcare solutions.
While outlining new standards designed to make it easier for patients to access their health records, Trump made a joke about his medical data: “The new standards will also make it simple for patients to access their own personal health records. I don't want to see mine, please. I don't want to see…"
"They can tell you exactly what your problem is going to be in 6 years - If I got a problem, I don’t want to know about it right now,” he said.
The remark quickly reignited public scrutiny over the 79-year-old president’s physical and cognitive health, which has been the subject of increasing speculation. Just this month, reports surfaced that Trump is dealing with chronic venous insufficiency, a relatively minor vein condition that causes leg swelling. His physician, Dr Sean Barbabella, responded by assuring the public that the president remains in “excellent” overall health.

A series of recent moments has raised eyebrows, with critics pointing to signs of confusion and fatigue. During a bill signing in the Roosevelt Room on July 30, Trump appeared visibly disoriented. He stared blankly at a reporter, requiring her to repeat her question multiple times before responding.
A reporter questioned Trump, "Kash Patel reportedly found burn bags of Russiagate material, and I would love to hear your thoughts on that," to which confused Trump went on, "He said what?" Then the reporter repeated, "Burn bags of Russiagate materials."

Trump responded, "I don't know what you mean by that statement." The reporter claimed again, "Bags of Russiagate materials." The president added, "Oh, I thought you said he appointed a man called Burn Bag, go ahead."
The awkward exchange was quickly clipped and circulated on social media, adding fuel to ongoing concerns about the 79-year-old’s mental sharpness.
At the same event, the administration announced major commitments from leading tech and healthcare firms, including Amazon, Apple, Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic. Trump praised the companies, referring to their representatives as the “top people” helping drive his digital health initiative.
