"Chronic venous insufficiency is a condition in which valves inside certain veins don't work the way they should, which can allow some of the blood to pool or collect in the veins. About 150,000 people are diagnosed with it each year, and the risk goes up with age."

Perhaps a few less McBurgers?

I'm sure cane sugar in Coke will fix him right up.

Stormy told us that his vein was insufficient.

This proves he can't get an -------- and exonerates him from all rape charges!

Au Contraire!

Perhaps a few more McBurgers.

Who would be surprised to find out that this condition has been long known, but that DJT decided this might be a good time to play for the sympathy of his Base, some of whom are burning their red caps?

Gomer Pyle, maybe?

@#7 ...Who would be surprised to find out that this condition has been long known...

From the cited article...

... The examination came after Trump had "noted mild swelling in his lower legs" over recent weeks, Leavitt said. ...

Too little too late

One news reel showed him wearing orthopedic shoes now. This is more than "a little" swelling. Congealed blood? No circulation? Black hands?

Sounds like it could get Gangrenous. I wonder how long he's been hiding this weakness.

@#17 ... This is more than "a little" swelling ...

I do not disagree.

It looks significant, in my non-medical opinion.

Trump's swollen ankles spark fresh health fears as president appears squeezed into shoes (July 14, 2025)
www.irishstar.com

... Photos taken of President Donald Trump at the FIFA Club World Cup on Sunday showing what appear to be his severely swollen ankles have sparked new health fears among social media users. ...

Stated differently, if I had seen this level of swelling in my parents' ankles, I would have been very concerned.

That aside ...

If I may ask a different, but related, question ...

OK, this issue was admitted by Pres Trump because he apparently could no longer deny the photographic evidence of the symptoms.

So, if I may ask, what other medical issues might Pres Trump be subject to, issues that he hides because the symptom may not be blatantly obvious or explained away?

Old ------- pedo is unqualified to be president.

The word "chronic" to describe Trump's condition is ominous. Sounds like it's been around for a while and ego-bound Trump didn't want to mess up his "strongman" image.

Which is pretty funny. His addiction to ridiculous attempts at portraying himself as "Grrrr! I are a strongman!" are risible, given how much he comes across as a closeted Hollywood gossip reporter.

Wow, sure hope the old d-bag doesn't keel over soon.

CBOB

He's got the best medical care in the world ~~ if it isn't already too late.

From the looks of those blue bags under his eyes, he has a big cholesterol problem, too.
