President’s diagnosis

On July 17, the White House confirmed that Trump had been diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, a condition affecting blood flow in the leg veins, according to the BBC.

Dr. Scott Cameron, a cardiologist at the Cleveland Clinic, noted that chronic venous insufficiency affects approximately 1 in 20 US adults.

Still, the condition has been described by medical experts as ‘benign and common.’

When questioned about the health of the President in July, press secretary Karoline Leavitt said: “Look, you see the president every day.

“He’s moving, he’s working. There have been no adjustments made to his lifestyle.”

White House issues major update

On December 1, Leavitt released the results of an MRI scan that Trump received in October.

At the time, it was unknown why the President was undergoing an MRI, given that it is rarely a routine procedure.

Many social media users questioned why a ‘healthy’ President would require an MRI scan.

Trump confused about MRI

Recently, in an interview onboard Air Force One with reporters, Trump was unable to specify which part of his body had been scanned.

One user on X said: “So Trump still has no idea what part of his body the MRI looked at, but the results were awesome, but he knows it wasn’t his brain because he aced a dementia test. WE NEED THOSE MRI RESULTS.”

Another added: “I’m a little concerned about him not knowing he is the only person who can actually release them.

“Or maybe playing dumb is the strategy here. Well… let’s see if it pays off for him.”

A third noted: “He seems to fail to understand an MRI is done when doctors are looking for something they think is serious.”

Yet, the president’s physician, Sean P. Barbabella, claimed that it was ‘part of his comprehensive executive physical.’
