White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt (Photo:Jordan Conradson/TGP) White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt addressed President Trump’s swollen legs and hand bruises on Thursday with an update from the President’s physician.
“the President remains in excellent health, which I think all of you witness on a daily basis here,” she told reporters.
In recent days, it was noticed that the President had bruising and other markings on the back of his hand and swollen ankles. This led to mass speculation, especially from the left, that President Trump was suffering from edema and a life-threatening heart condition.

Well the press has to be fair ... after all they grilled Hillary and her handlers about her swollen ankles. (sarcasm)
And biden and his cognitive abilities.
Sub-cue bleeding is not in and of itself any indication of heart disease, it is merely the rupture of venous blood vessels under an aging and thinning skin surface. This happens in most everybody as they get into their seventh and eighth decade of life. Annoying and sometimes unsightly, most of these disappear within a few weeks, but the situation comes up as a frequent issue.
Old age ain’t for sissies.
Karoline could address next year’s Russian potato crop futures and she’d look good doing it.
At least he’s not in a wheelchair like FDR.
Mitch McTurtle had similar far worse-looking hand bruises a while back, and is still mostly alive and well.
I’m 92 and wish I had such a good cardiovascular report...
When I was his age, I was still pumping iron 4 times a week at the World Gym... Started weight training, religiously, when I retired in 1985...
The biggest mistake I made was quitting when I turned 80...
Both my arms look like I was beat with a stick. And my left ankle is twice the size of the right ankle. Had triple bypass a couple years ago and cardiologist says all is fine. Age creeps up on you and suddenly smacks you in the arms...
Well his nose as been growing mightily as of late.
Getting so sick and tired of your $hit as of late. All any of us do is listen to you berate DJT for the last 4 months or so. Maybe you would feel better over at DU, bet you would fit right in.
Re: 10 - just the response expected from someone that can’t argue the point.
Pretty standard for his age. He probably needs to start some cardio.
Compression socks perhaps?
Too much sitting, not enough walking.
You aren't kidding!!!!!
Oh grow up Minnie Mouse...
Anyone over seventy knows their skin tears and bruises like a b*tch, and the blood thinners they are probably on make it worse. Trump looks remarkable for his age, although he could stand to lose a few pounds. However, he gets around a hell of a lot better than most of us.
What the hell is wrong with you? What happened? Did your wife or boyfriend desert you and the only thing you got left is to attack Trump? Because that is all you have been doing for at least the last four months. Hint: Find another avenue to vent your frustrations because your welcome is wearing thin here on this forum.
Calcium channel blockers for hypertension can cause leg swelling.
It’s not necessarily heart failure.
