President Trump has been diagnosed with venous insufficiency of the legs. This condition caused damage to valves in the veins whereby blood pools in the lower part of the legs. It is not yet a serious condition but tends to be a progressive disease with more serious symptoms that can come. It is not surprising he has this given his age.
Behaviors that mitigate symptoms are exercise and weight loss. While Trump has lost weight, I'm not sure he exercises beyond getting in and out of the gold cart.
I'm a decade younger than Trump and I know these things need to be watched because for most all of us, changes come as we move into our seventieth and eightieth decade. It's good to know JD Vance is there.

I didn’t even know the media was allowed to report on POTUS’ medical conditions?

The man is constantly on the go, do you really think he needs to get on a treadmill?

I don’t know anyone who’s 700-800 years old.

While not wishing it on him at all, Trump in a wheel chair would absolutely scramble the brains of many people on the left.

It’s a very common problem. I’ve had a vascular surgery on my left leg. It’s not that big a deal. Compression socks will probably be all he needs to address the problem.

I believe that Karoline Leavitt disclosed this at a WH briefing today.

Transparency. I'm sure Trump ordered it to be released.

I’m 59 and I’ve had this condition in my left leg for at least 20 years. You manage it.

He can operate without legs.

FDR proved that.


But he can't operate without a brain.

Biden proved that.

4D Chess.

What a time to be worried about the health of a sitting President while we are considering the previous Gork.

He likely will not do treadmill work. Look, I read the report and to wash away the significance of it is to put your head in the sand. I hope he makes it ( in the presidency) three and a half more years. He is the oldest man to win a second term. Shite happens to old men. Look at Biden.

Great catch for a stupid mistake. But I will leave it uncorrected. You get the point.
