BREAKING: Trump’s Diagnosis Revealed After Bruising On Hands, ‘Swelling’ In Legs

Published

Physicians for President Donald Trump have announced he suffers from chronic venous insufficiency, a swelling of the legs that can cause difficulty with sending blood back to the heart.

The news, announced by White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt during Thursday’s press briefing, landed like a shock among supporters who took to the internet with well-wishes and fears about Trump’s ability to finish out his second term.

Leavitt dismissed those concerns, characterizing the diagnosis as less serious than it appears at first.

“Many in the media have been speculating about bruising on the president’s hand,” Leavitt said, referencing what appeared to be makeup on Trump’s right hand Wednesday.

In an “effort of transparency,” Trump’s doctor stated: “In recent weeks, President Trump noticed 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.”

“The president underwent a comprehensive examination, including diagnostic vascular studies, bilateral lower extremity venous doppler ultrasounds performed and revealed chronic venous insufficiency, a benign and common condition,” Leavitt read from the note.

Trump emerged from Marine One on Wednesday, answering questions with his usual zest while touting trade deals and taking aim at far-left Democrats. However, physicians who spoke with the Daily Mail speculated about whether the president had been bruised by a recent blood draw, a symptom that is common among men of his age.

Trump turned 78 this month, and he is the second-oldest president behind former President Joe Biden.

All studies of Trump’s current health “were within normal limits,” Leavitt added.

“An echocardiogram was also performed and confirm normal cardiac structure and function. No signs of heart failure, renal impairment or systemic illness were identified.”

President Trump effectively pressured Biden out of last year’s election after furthering the narrative that his mental acuity had significantly declined while in office. Stumbles, vexed moments on stage, and other senior moments reinforced the image of Biden as unfit for office.

With his news, President Trump is now up against the gun to show Americans that he is not suffering physical side-effects after returning to the world’s most demanding job. He continues to regularly golf, an activity his physician has credited with his healthy gait and average weight for men of his age.
