White House Confirms Trump Diagnosed with Chronic venous Insufficiency, Addresses Health Concerns
WASHINGTON - The White House has disclosed that former President Donald Trump was diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, a benign condition, following recent speculation about bruising adn swelling in his hands and legs. The disclosure comes amid ongoing public interest in the health of a former commander in chief and repeated instances of misinformation regarding his well-being.
Trump’s health has been a subject of scrutiny throughout his presidency and beyond.Last September, he publicly dismissed online rumors, including false claims of his death. The recent White House statement aims too provide clarity following observations about the appearance of his hands during public appearances,including a meeting with South Korean President Lee Jae Myung.
According to the White House, the bruising observed on the back of Trump’s hand is linked to his routine cardiovascular health program, specifically aspirin use. Following a recent medical evaluation, officials stated the former president is in good health, with “normal cardiac structure and function” and no indications of heart failure, kidney failure, or systemic disease.
The White House’s statement seeks to counter unsubstantiated claims and provide a factual account of Trump’s current health status. (Details from AFP)
