Former President Donald Trump, 79, has been diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), a condition where leg veins struggle to send blood back to the heart. The diagnosis followed public concern over visible swelling in his lower legs and recurring bruising on his right hand.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed Trump underwent medical tests after the symptoms appeared. “Importantly, there was no evidence of deep vein thrombosis or arterial disease,” she shared. Lab results and cardiac tests were normal, and Trump is reportedly in “excellent health.”

The bruising—first noticed during his campaign and later seen in meetings with leaders like Emmanuel Macron—has sparked speculation for months. Officials insist the marks are minor and likely work-related.

Cleveland Clinic notes CVI is fairly common, affecting about 1 in 20 adults. While it can cause swelling and discomfort, it’s manageable with proper care. Despite the visible symptoms, Trump appears to be coping well and continuing his duties without issue.
