💨 Abstract

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt addressed concerns about President Donald Trump's swollen ankles and bruised hand, which was covered in makeup. Trump was evaluated for swelling in his legs and the medical unit found no evidence of serious conditions like deep vein thrombosis but confirmed "chronic venous insufficiency," common in older adults. Trump's doctor stated he is in "excellent health." Recommendations include weight loss, walking, elevating legs, and potentially using compression socks.
