White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt addressed President Trump’s swollen legs and hand bruises on Thursday with an update from the President’s physician.

“the President remains in excellent health, which I think all of you witness on a daily basis here,” she told reporters.

In recent days, it was noticed that the President had bruising and other markings on the back of his hand and swollen ankles. This led to mass speculation, especially from the left, that President Trump was suffering from edema and a life-threatening heart condition.

GROK DETECTS POSSIBLE LIFE-THREATENING EDEMA IN PRESIDENT TRUMP

Swollen hands. Puffy ankles. Thin, wrinkled skin.

Leavitt immediately addressed the speculation, notifying the press that the President “was thoroughly evaluated by the White House medical unit,” and they found nothing out of the ordinary.

“An echocardiogram was also performed and confirm normal cardiac structure and function. No signs of heart failure, renal impairment or systemic illness were identified,” she said of the President’s swollen legs. She said the President has ” chronic venous insufficiency, a common condition, particularly in individuals over the age of 70.”

The hand bruises were explained as “a well-known and benign side effect of aspirin therapy,” which the President does “as part of a standard cardiovascular prevention regimen.”

This is nothing like Joe Biden’s serious medical condition, despite what the mainstream media tries to make of it.

WATCH:

Leavitt: I know that many in the media have been speculating about bruising on the President’s hand and also swelling in the President’s legs. So, in the effort of transparency, the President wanted me to share a note from his physician with all of you today. In recent weeks, President Trump noted mild swelling in his lower legs, in keeping with routine medical care, and out of an abundance of caution, this concern was thoroughly evaluated by the White House medical unit. The President underwent a comprehensive examination, including diagnostic vascular studies. Bilateral lower extremity venous doppler ultrasounds were performed and revealed chronic venous insufficiency, a common condition, particularly in individuals over the age of 70. Importantly, there was no evidence of deep vein thrombosis or arterial disease.

Laboratory testing included a complete blood count, comprehensive metabolic panel, coagulation profile, D-dimer, B-type natriuretic peptide, and cardiac biomarkers. All results were within normal limits. An echocardiogram was also performed and confirmed normal cardiac structure and function, no signs of heart failure, renal impairment, or systemic illness were identified. 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, which is taken as part of a standard cardiovascular prevention regimen.

This is a well-known and benign side effect of aspirin therapy, and the President remains in excellent health, which I think all of you witness on a daily basis here. So, the President wanted me to share that note with all of you. I’m happy to take further questions on it. we will provide the memorandum from the President’s physician to all of you, as we always do.
