Donald Trump Diagnosed with Chronic Venous Insufficiency, White House Confirms

President Donald Trump has been diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, a condition where damaged veins impair blood flow, leading to symptoms like leg swelling and bruising. The White House described the condition as common and benign, especially in older adults, and noted that Trump's bruises were consistent with frequent handshaking and aspirin use. Medical examinations confirmed no deep vein thrombosis or arterial problems, and Trump's overall cardiac function remains normal. The diagnosis came amid public speculation fueled by visible bruises on his hands and legs, but White House officials emphasized his general good health following recent comprehensive medical exams. Trump, at 79, is the oldest U.S. president and has previously highlighted health concerns about political opponents during the 2024 election. Despite scrutiny, the White House maintains that Trump's health issues do not impair his presidential duties.
