Published: 7/17/2025

The White House revealed that Donald Trump has been diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, a vein condition, after concerns were raised over bruises on his hand. The condition occurs when leg veins struggle to pump blood to the heart, causing swelling in the lower limbs. Despite the diagnosis, doctors confirmed that the condition is common and not considered serious, especially for individuals over 70 like Trump. Managing the condition may involve wearing compression stockings and elevating legs, according to experts.
