popped up. Apparently, MANY people are looking!

The orange thing is at Stage 3 of 6 at least, since one has to be at least at Stage 3 before it is actually labelled CVI (per Cleveland Clinic website).

8. DuckDuckGo I typed in "trump' and "trump swollen ankles" was the first line

[Escape]

9. If "The White House" is admitting this condition.....

there is much, much more they are not admitting.

Any medical folk on DU? What other conditions have these symptoms?

I sincerely hope that the American news media and the American people don't ever get into the habit of believing anything the Trump administration voluntarily tells us.

11. His doctor was probably instructed

To say it's the mildest of any malady with swollen ankles. I also think the handshaking causing hand bruising is complete BS.

I would be willing to bet that we were not given the actual diagnosis.

14. Early stage heart failure.

Say no more.

Other than . . . the effort to play this down in public shows this is serious.

Official line: 'Trump will live to be 200!'

Reality: He is hanging in there.

Keep watching to see if his public appearances, TV appearances, travel etc will decrease.

[Wicked Blue]

18. Wait a minute...

they say he HAS a heart?

[NNadir]

21. Technically yes. The internal organ that is most likely withered or absent is a brain. RFK Jrs. brain worm is...

...staying home in that idiot's brain, eating up residual dopamine from his heroin addiction, and not traveling to the wasteland inside the orange dementia victim in the White House. There may not be much left in RFK's brain, but if you're a brain worm, you have to compare insufficient food supplies with no food supplies.

19. Bruising

IF this is actually the trouble... he's has has ankle swelling since at least 2018. I noticed it then.

The hand bruising could mean advanced ... Regardless, the most vain person on earth allowing any info release is a set up of some sort. All we can do is speculate and hate on the circus.

20. Reminder: chronic venous insufficiency is not the same as phlebitis.
