US President diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency

US President Donald Trump has been diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, a common vascular condition, especially in individuals over the age of 70. White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt confirmed the diagnosis following a comprehensive medical examination, which included diagnostic vascular studies. Leavitt emphasised that there was no evidence of deep vein thrombosis or arterial disease, and all test results remained within normal limits. The



announcement comes after recent photographs showed visible swelling in the President’s lower legs near his feet, raising questions about his health.

 

Addressing further speculation, Leavitt explained that a separate image appearing to show makeup on the President’s hand was simply concealing minor bruising, attributed to frequent handshaking and his regular use of aspirin.
