What White House said
In July, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt had revealed that Trump was suffering from a chronic vein condition called chronic venous insufficiency, which is caused leg veins failing to pump blood to the heart, causing it to pool in the lower limbs, which can then become swollen.“So what chronic venous insufficiency is, is when those veins and valves don’t work and blood goes backwards down the legs,” Leavitt had said.
Frequent handshakes causing bruises
According to her, Trump’s hand bruising is “consent” with irritation from his “frequent handshaking and the use of aspirin.”“President Trump is a man of the people and he meets more Americans and shakes their hands on a daily basis than any other President in hory. His commitment is unwavering and he proves that every single day,” Leavitt said in a statement Friday.
