Trump Diagnosed With Chronic Venous Insufficiency

Former President Donald Trump has been officially diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, a common and benign vein condition in older adults, following public attention on swelling in his legs and bruises on his hands. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated that Trump underwent vascular studies and ultrasounds, which ruled out serious conditions like deep vein thrombosis, arterial disease, heart failure, or kidney issues. The bruising on Trump's hand has been attributed to frequent handshaking and his routine use of aspirin for heart health. The White House reported that all test results were within normal limits and emphasized that Trump remains in excellent health without discomfort. Despite these reassurances, speculation persists among some medical experts and on social media, with critics raising transparency concerns. The discussion continues to be politically charged as Trump heads into the 2025 election season.
