Rather common in my experience.

Democrats will say he’s unfit for office and demand an investigation into his medical care.

I’m relieved. Saw a small budget site yesterday with the swollen ankle and lower leg problem and worried it was heart trouble for Trump.

God, please continue to watch over Donald Trump.
Amen. πŸ™

I have had just this for 20 or 30 years.

Compression socks ftw.

I had assumed the picture circulating last week was fake.

But this condition is very common. My dad had it after a DVT

At least with Trump they told the truth unlike Biden who had cancer for 3 yrs while he was in office and we never knew about it. A few yrs ago my foot became very swollen out of no where, I took off my sock and it was just swollen badly I couldnt fit it into my shoe I quickly went to the doc had numerous blood tests and they couldnt find anything so she told me its best to keep my foot elevated when I can

When my Dad started taking aspirin regularly for this, he bruised easily also.

Trump will come out with a line of “Trump compression socks” and make millions

I had this. I thought it was a family problem because both my parents had it. A side effect of taking Zinc supplements was that it was cured .

Trump needs to quit the Big Macs and eat healthy food instead.

Easy fix. Make sure the chef uses sea salt. I think nacianamide is good for that too.

Bruising can also occur if one over does the aspirin - fish oil - anti-coagulant dosages.

Prayers up. I imagine a lot of us in our 60s or older deal with this. Taking aspirin daily, wearing compression socks and elevating your legs when sleeping should help.
But when does he sleep?
