President Donald Trump has been diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, a condition characterized by diminished blood recirculation to the legs, the White House announced on Thursday. Photos circulating this weekend of the president attending the FIFA Club World Cup final in New Jersey showed Trump exhibiting noticeable swelling in his lower half.
President Donald Trump underwent vascular testing after he had swelling in his legs, with all results within normal limits, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Thursday. Leavitt said Trump noted "mild swelling in his lower legs," which prompted the White House medical team to evaluate him.
