Following reports of abnormal swelling in President Donald Trump’s legs, the White House came out and revealed that Trump has been diagnosed with a condition called chronic venous insufficiency.
This condition is a blood circulation issue that is common in people over the age of 70, but is NOT life-threatening.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt revealed the news during a press briefing where she said that Trump asked her to share the news in the interest of being more transparent than the previous administration, who covered up not only President Joe Biden’s mental decline, but potentially even the fact that he had cancer.
The press sec. also addressed other reports showing that Trump has had some bruising on the back of his hand, saying, “This is consistent with minor soft tissue irritation from frequent handshaking and the use of aspirin, which is taken as part of a standard cardiovascular prevention regimen. This is a well-known and benign side effect of aspirin therapy.”
Leavitt further said that Trump had undergone a comprehensive exam and that the president remains in excellent health.
Look out for the mainstream media – who just spent YEARS covering up Biden’s health problems – try and make this into a big deal when in reality, it’s a perfectly common condition for someone Trump’s age!
