Trump Dispels Health Rumors Amidst Busy Schedule
President Donald Trump refutes social media claims regarding his health, stating he was active with interviews and golf over Labor Day. Although he faced minor health issues like swelling and bruising, his physician attributes these to common conditions and routine medication, downplaying any significant health concerns.
President Donald Trump dismissed social media claims about his poor health, asserting that he spent the Labor Day weekend conducting media interviews and enjoying time at his Virginia golf club. In the Oval Office, Trump declared himself 'very active' over the weekend, labeling the health rumors as 'fake.'
White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt mentioned Trump's swelling in the lower legs and a bruise on his right hand after photos surfaced. The president's doctor, Sean Barbabella, attributed the leg issue to 'chronic venous insufficiency,' a common condition, particularly in older adults. The hand bruising was due to minor irritation from frequent handshakes and aspirin use.
Even as Donald Trump, the oldest individual to become U.S. president at 79, encountered these health matters, the White House continues to downplay any concerns, noting that Trump is managing the condition well and remains active.
