“The President underwent a comprehensive examination, including diagnostic vascular studies,” she stated. “Bilateral lower extremity venous doppler ultrasounds were performed and revealed chronic venous insufficiency, a common condition, particularly in individuals over the age of 70.”
In other words—nothing to panic over. Chronic venous insufficiency is a relatively common issue for older adults, and it doesn’t mean what the media wants you to think it means. In fact, the President’s medical team went the extra mile just to be sure.
“An echocardiogram was also performed and confirmed normal cardiac structure and function. No signs of heart failure, renal impairment, or systemic illness were identified,” Leavitt added.
So where’s the big health scare? There isn’t one. But the press wouldn’t stop digging—especially when they saw a few bruises on the President’s hand.
Leavitt addressed that, too. She explained that the minor marks are simply a result of aspirin therapy, which President Trump takes regularly as part of a standard heart-health regimen. Frequent handshaking—something Trump is known for—can also cause slight bruising, especially in people on blood thinners like aspirin.
“This is a well-known and benign side effect of aspirin therapy,” Leavitt said. “Additionally, recent photos of the President have shown minor bruising on the back of his hand. This is consistent with minor soft tissue irritation from frequent handshaking and the use of aspirin.”
For those still not satisfied, the White House made the President’s physician’s memo available to the press—demonstrating a level of transparency we rarely see from the Biden administration.
“In recent weeks, President Trump noted mild swelling in his lower legs… this concern was thoroughly evaluated by the White House medical unit,” Leavitt explained.
She also noted that the full battery of tests, including blood work and cardiac biomarkers, all came back normal.
So let’s make it plain: President Trump is healthy, active, and showing no signs of serious medical concerns—unlike President Biden, who can barely climb stairs or finish a sentence without raising alarm bells. The left can spin as much as they want, but the facts don’t lie.
If anything, this episode shows how desperate Democrats and their media allies have become. They’ll latch onto any scrap of narrative—no matter how baseless—in hopes of damaging Trump’s momentum heading into 2024.
The American people can see through it. Trump is strong, sharp, and ready to lead. And no amount of media hysteria is going to change that.
