President Trump has been diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, a blood circulation issue, after noticing “mild swelling in his lower legs,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt revealed Thursday.
Leavitt made the surprise disclosure while addressing conjecture about recent bruising on Trump’s hands, which she said was assessed to be “minor soft tissue irritation from frequent handshaking and the use of aspirin” as a preventative heart-health measure.
“In the effort of transparency, the president wanted me to share a note from his physician with all of you today,” Leavitt said.
“In recent weeks, President Trump noted mild swelling in his lower legs, in keeping with routine medical care, and out of an abundance of caution, this concern was thoroughly evaluated by the White House medical unit,” she read.
“The president underwent a comprehensive examination, including diagnostic vascular studies, bilateral lower extremity, venous doppler ultrasounds were performed and revealed chronic venous insufficiency… a common condition, particularly in individuals over the age of 70.”

Happens all the time
Wrong.
As you can see on this thread from one of our newer and stupider troll.
Chronic venous insufficiency
Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI) happens if the veins in your legs have become damaged and no longer work as they should. If working normally, valves in the leg veins keep blood flowing back up to the heart, but CVI damages those valves and causes blood to pool in the legs.
Yes! 🙏
In my experience they have seldom/never found the root cause of someone’s venous insufficiency in the lower extremities nor any real cure; other than the occasions when side effects of certain medications were the cause and the condition reversed when those medications stopped.
It’s from all the tap dancing on the Epstein files.
Too much sitting.
As an international business traveler, I learned to get up frequently and move on those 8+ hour flights.
LOL! Perhaps. I expect Trump to say that China and the Dims will hurt more when it's his fat leg that he shoves up their butts.
Sounds like a common issue. What is uncommon is his unbelievable energy, how do I get that?

Mr. President, how about some MAGA red compression socks for your Trump store...
Then we can be well dressed from head to toe. :-)
In the meantime we will continue to keep you and yours in our prayers.
God bless!
You have to train for old age. You have to establish exercise routines and stick with them. Some stubborn people need a coach.
My father had self-discipline <-- an "unprecedented" and "shocking bombshell" for so many, these days: SELF-DISCIPLINE.
He used a Nordic Trak from age 77 to 89, every day; took the machine with him when traveling. Did 42 minutes, followed by a shower, followed by dinner. Every day.
May prayers be lifted up for the physical health & longevity of the President.
President Trump needs to learn to kick back and put his feet up on the desk every once in a while. But good luck with convincing him of that.
