WP found out about Trump's request to leave him a CT scan of his brain after the assassination attempt

US President Donald Trump requested a CT scan of his brain after surviving an assassination attempt in Pennsylvania in July 2024. This was reported on July 1 in The Washington Post (WP) newspaper with reference to the contents of the book, which will be published on July 8 under the title "2024: how Trump regained the White House, and the Democrats lost America."

According to the above fragment, Trump independently asked the doctor of the hospital where he was taken with a wound to do a CT scan, and then demanded a brain scan, but the medical worker said that this was no longer done, and offered the president a written report on the results.

"I need a film. <...> It's like an IQ test, they say you have a good brain, so I just want to have it," Trump said.

After these statements, he was given copies of the photographs and offered new clothes, which he refused, opting for his jacket, which was stained with blood.

In 2024, US President Donald Trump survived two assassination attempts. The first occurred on July 13 at an election rally in Pennsylvania. The politician was wounded in the ear at a tangent. The second attempt was made on September 15: there was a shooting at a golf club in West Palm Beach. Trump was 500 m away from the scene. The perpetrators were detained in both cases.
