  1. “Trump Has Chronic Venous Insufficiency, White House Announces


    House doctors have diagnosed President Donald Trump with chronic venous insufficiency after he noticed swelling in his legs, the White House announced Thursday.

    Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters that Trump, 79, recently underwent testing to examine the swelling, which included diagnostic vascular studies and an ultrasound of his legs, revealing the vein condition.

    According to Johns Hopkins Medicine, chronic venous insufficiency occurs when veins in the legs struggle to allow blood to flow back up to the heart, often as a result of damaged valves in the veins. The condition affects about 1 in 20 adults.

    Leavitt provided the health update amid online speculation about visible swelling around Trump’s ankles and bruises on his hands, the latter of which she said was attributable to his "frequent handshaking and the use of aspirin."

    I had an uncle diagnosed due to dilated cardiomyopathy (primary cause). Comorbid. Fantastic news.

    Misread that a chronic venomous insufficiency first.

    Not cheering me up as he won't die tomorrow. I like the excess use of aspirin, could cause a brain bleed.

  4. He'll be taking a dirt nap soon enough. Complicating this already serious condition is a horrible diet, morbid obesity, irregular sleep, age, and who knows what or how many drugs keeping him upright. Stress would also be a factor for a normal person, but he ain't normal.
    I give him a year, max.

    I'm not so hopeful. His capacity to handle what should be stressful has to be acknowledged but I have a literally self-made billionaire cousin my age (though advantaged upbringing) and he handles stress well, by being really selfish and conditional sociopath. He is not a narcissist, he does care about his horribly spoiled kids (we hope they will cop on in the 20s) and has stayed with his first wife.

    Like Trump however, he is allergic to bad news, he filters negativity/reality out.

    I have a distant cousin in western United States with the same problem...obesity, stressful job, abuse of aspirin to keep his blood thin to help prevent a heart-attack or stroke, survivor of a serious Covid infection (hospitalization with breathing problems) during the Pandemic, horrible eating habits from eating lots of high cholesterol foods that he now takes cholesterol medication, and he's about 6 feet 5 inches tall.

    Doctors have warned him that he's lucky that he has not yet developed kidney disease but he's close to it because when the kidneys begin to have problems...edema starts in the legs before it soon puts a lot of water pressure on the heart...

    My cousin is about 47 years old. I've met him once and he said doesn't want to die young because he has a daughter who's very good in volleyball and making a name for herself in collegiate volleyball...he wants to see her graduate from college and go pro. :(

    The one thing people should have learned from the Covid Pandemic...most of those hospitalized with severe Covid infection had a comorbidity on top of poor nutrition.

    These types of survivors of a severe Covid hospitalization are at high risk of health problems and/or mental problems within several years after the Covid hospitalization.

    Thus, if Trump develops kidney disease...he'll become high risk of cardiac arrest or stroke even while on a regiment of daily intake of aspirin.

    P.S. If Trump wants to complete his term, he will need to start eating whatever it is that Melania is eating considering she looks healthy. Buy a home cardio exercise equipment won't hurt too to help lose some of that fat off his big ass and stomach.

    Unlike Biden he's being honest about his health issues.

    Dude wears a diaper and cankles from a weak LVEF. Clearly on the way out. If the dude wasn't subhuman I'd send him the LVEF fix.

    "Excellent health"!
