Overview

  • The White House reported Trump was diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency after mild leg swelling prompted bilateral, lower-extremity venous ultrasounds.
  • Medical tests found no evidence of deep vein thrombosis or arterial disease and described the condition as common among older adults.
  • Physicians linked his persistent hand bruising to frequent handshakes and daily aspirin therapy.
  • Photographs from Turnberry Golf Club in Scotland show the president wearing heavy concealer to mask bruises on his right hand.
  • Social media users are intensifying calls for the 79-year-old president to release his full medical records despite White House assurances of his excellent health.
