"Physicians for President Donald Trump have announced he suffers from chronic venous insufficiency, a swelling of the legs that can cause difficulty with sending blood back to the heart.The news, announced by White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt during Thursday’s press briefing, landed like a shock among supporters who took to the internet with well-wishes and fears about Trump’s ability to finish out his second term.
Leavitt dismissed those concerns, characterizing the diagnosis as less serious than it appears at first.
“Many in the media have been speculating about bruising on the president’s hand,” Leavitt said, referencing what appeared to be makeup on Trump’s right hand Wednesday.
In an “effort of transparency,” Trump’s doctor stated: “In recent weeks, President Trump noticed mild swelling in his lower legs. In keeping with routine medical care, and out of an abundance of caution, this concern was thoroughly evaluated by the White House medical unit.”
