If we had to rank the quality and relevance of the questions that the national press corps has asked Donald Trump over the past decade, “Was it of your brain?” would be near the top.

That is what a reporter wanted to know after the president talked about an MRI that he received recently.

It’s a valid question in light of Trump’s increasingly frequent mental glitches and his generally bizarre behavior. Of course, we doubt that signs of malignant narcissism, compulsive lying, or whatever other mental disorder the president is suffering from would show up on an MRI.

Then again, it wouldn’t have to. Those things are painfully obvious… including by how he answered the original question.

“I had an MRI,” Trump said aboard Air Force One on the way to yet another weekend of (presumably) golf and partying in Florida. “The doctor said it was the best result he has ever seen as a doctor.”

Since no doctor in the world ordinarily talks like this, there are three options here.

The first is that this conversation took place entirely in Trump’s head.

The second is that the doctor said something else, but the president liked his made-up version better.

The third is that the doctor felt compelled to describe the MRI in this way because he knows that Trump is nuts.

None of these is good.

As part of his original answer, Trump also lied that an MRI is “very standard.”

It is not.

Instead, it is a specialized diagnostic test that is only prescribed when a doctor wants to get a detailed image of a specific body part, e.g., the heart, the spine, or a knee.

Or the brain.

Trump said he didn’t know why he got an MRI, which was probably also a lie.

“I have no idea what they analyze, but whatever they analyze, they analyzed it well and they said that I had as good a result as they’ve ever seen,” he told reporters.

So much for being the “most transparent president in history.”

One thing is clear: Neither the president nor the White House will provide an honest answer to the question of why the MRI was ordered.

Ordinarily, that would be disconcerting, but no MRI is needed to make clear that Trump is unfit for office. He shows us every day.

Still, “Was it of your brain?” is a great question to ask Trump, and, if there were a reward for such things, it would be a contender.

But there isn’t, just like there isn’t one for “best MRI result.”
