Trump, 79, Diagnosed with Benign Vein Condition

News summary

US President Donald Trump, 79, has been diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, a benign vein condition common among older adults, after recent observations of leg swelling and hand bruising. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt and the president's physician stated that diagnostic tests, including Doppler ultrasounds and cardiac exams, ruled out more serious conditions such as deep vein thrombosis, arterial disease, and heart failure, with all lab results normal. The bruising on Trump's hand was attributed to frequent handshaking and aspirin use as part of his cardiovascular regimen. Medical experts described the diagnosis as a typical, non-alarming age-related issue. The administration released detailed medical information in response to increasing public speculation and viral discussion about Trump's health. Trump is reportedly not experiencing discomfort and remains in good overall health.
