Trump\u2019s physician, Dr. Sean Barbabella<\/a>, said the president is in \u201cexcellent health<\/a>\u201d and that the MRI was given \u201cbecause men in his age group benefit from a thorough evaluation of cardiovascular and abdominal health.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cOK, fair enough,\u201d Colbert said in response. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

But then he went a little further and offered a medical opinion of his own for the president. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cMen in his age group also benefit from retiring,\u201d he pointed out. \u201cSo, can we write that prescription next?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Trump, 79, has faced growing concerns<\/a> over his health<\/a>, and the MRI was part of a hastily announced<\/a> visit to Walter Reed Medical Center last month for a \u201croutine yearly checkup,\u201d which took place just six months after his previous annual physical.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

He\u2019s also been seen apparently struggling to stay focused at White House events, including one last month, when he spent some 20 minutes battling to keep his eyes open, according to a Washington Post analysis<\/a> of the video. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Last month, the New York Times reported<\/a> that Trump is holding fewer events, traveling less, and working shorter days as a concession to his age.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
