Donald Trump diagnosed with vein disease after ‘concerning’ detail spotted during recent appearance

Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, has released a statement regarding the situation.

Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, has responded formally to internet rumors about US President Donald Trump’s health.

The 79-year-old congressman caused a stir for several reasons when he made an unannounced appearance at the Club World Cup final in New Jersey on Sunday, July 13.

In addition to embarrassing champion Chelsea FC with his contentious trophy-stealing behavior, he raised questions about his health after being shown with swollen ankles in a photo.

The bottom portions of both of Trump’s legs appeared somewhat expanded in pictures of him sitting next to his wife Melania in the stands that subsequently went viral on the internet.

Some social media users expressed interest in the pictures as well, asking how the Republican had managed to fit his apparently swollen feet into his shoes.

“Trump has extremely swollen ankles. People are conversing. Physicians? Quiet. The media? “I’m going crazy,” a worried user wrote. “It might be nothing, or it might be something significant. Although he claims to be as powerful as ever, those ankles appear to have seen a lot of wear and tear. Not very good. Not very good.

On X, someone else wrote: “His shoes might have fit well if he had put them on right away or just after he woke up. However, his ankles were more swollen as he got up and started moving around. It’s not that uncommon in older people, I’ll say.

“He’ll probably have shoe-shaped indents when he takes his shoes off.”

Trump has been diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, a blood circulation problem, which is the source of his swollen ankles, according to Leavitt.

In response to rumors that Trump’s hands were bruised recently, she made the unexpected statement, claiming that the condition was determined to be “minor soft tissue irritation from frequent handshaking and the use of aspirin” as a preventative heart-health strategy.

“In the effort of transparency, the president wanted me to share a note from his physician with all of you today,” Leavitt went on.

She continued: “President Trump reported experiencing some minor swelling in his lower legs in recent weeks. The White House medical unit carefully considered this issue out of prudence and in accordance with standard medical care.

“The president had a thorough evaluation that included bilateral lower extremity venous doppler ultrasounds, diagnostic vascular investigations, and other tests that showed chronic venous insufficiency. a prevalent condition, especially among people over 70.

Leavitt concluded: “Notably, there was no indication of artery disease or deep vein thrombosis.

Additionally, an echocardiography was conducted, which verified that the heart’s structure and function were normal and that no indications of heart failure, renal impairment, or systemic sickness were seen.

It happened a few days after the president appeared in public with a somewhat odd-looking bruise on his hand, a contusion that had previously generated a lot of attention.

An X user zoomed in to reveal what looked like makeup heaped just beneath his pointer and middle fingers after he was pictured boarding Marine One at the White House on Tuesday, July 15, on his route to Pittsburgh.

While some experts attributed it to the politician’s advanced age of 80, others thought the concealer had been used to hide an IV bruise.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt was compelled to address the bruise, telling The Daily Beast that it was the result of frequent hand shaking, because some of the recommendations became so out of control.

“President Trump is a man of the people and he meets more Americans and shakes their hands on a daily basis than any other President in history,” she said. “His commitment is unwavering and he proves that every single day.”
