CVI is common among older adults, but requires a thorough checkup to rule out more serious causes of leg swelling
Donald Trump was diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, the White House said on Thursday, after he noticed swelling in his legs.
Chronic venous insufficiency, or CVI, happens when veins in the legs cannot properly carry blood back to the heart. That can lead to blood pooling in the lower legs. In addition to swelling, usually around the feet and ankles, symptoms can include legs that are achy, heavy-feeling or tingly, and varicose veins. Severe cases could trigger leg sores known as ulcers.
Doctors must rule out serious causes of leg swelling, such as heart problems, kidney disease or blood clots.

Tbf, I don't think he gave it to himself on purpose lol. He more than deserves it.

I hear it’s the disease you get when you are trying to distract everyone from the fact that you are suppressing evidence that you and your friends raped kids.

I just changed Web MD. They say it's a "distraction from the fact Trump raped kids".

Was thinking it could be congestive heart failure.

I mean, it very well still can be. Do you trust any info this admin puts out?
I lean towards them slow rolling this. He's probably got CHF and definitely dementia.

Trust is a strong word. CHF and dementia are deadly, but you can live with it for decades.

His golfing is down massively too. 3 times in June and twice in July. Hope he’s ok.

I hope you forgot to include a /s in there!

Nah, I like to raw dog sarcasm sometimes. Just to see how it feels. You win some, you lose some. I did find it genuinely interesting how little he has golfed.

As the saying goes, Shit happens when you party naked! Also, I noticed fewer shots of him golfing. I figured it was because he was too busy bombing brown people and stealing sports rewards!
