Trump diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, a minor vein condition, after noticing swelling in legs​

Washington — President Trump has been diagnosed with a "benign and common" vein condition known as chronic venous insufficiency after he noticed swelling in his legs, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced Thursday.

According to Johns Hopkins and the Cleveland Clinic, chronic venous insufficiency occurs when veins in the legs struggle to allow blood to flow back up to the heart. Leavitt said the president underwent a thorough health examination after he noticed mild swelling in his legs, and the examination revealed no evidence of more serious conditions like deep vein thrombosis or arterial disease. Leavitt said the president's physician says he remains in excellent overall health.

Photos of the president at the Cup World Cup soccer final in New Jersey over the weekend showed him with noticeably swollen ankles, fueling speculation about his health.
Reading a note from the president's physician at the White House briefing on Thursday, Leavitt said the president was "thoroughly evaluated" by the White House medical unit "out of an abundance of caution" after noticing swelling in recent weeks.

"The president underwent a comprehensive examination, including diagnostic vascular studies. Bilateral lower extremity venous Doppler ultrasounds were performed, and reformed chronic venous insufficiency, a benign and common condition, particularly in individuals over the age of 70," Leavitt said.

Mr. Trump is 79. The letter said there was "no evidence" of blood clots or arterial disease, Leavitt said.

The president underwent multiple tests, including a complete blood count, comprehensive metabolic panel, and coagulation profile, Leavitt said.

"All results were within normal limits," Leavitt said. She added that an echocardiogram was performed and confirmed normal cardiac structure and function.

"No signs of heart function, renal impairment or systemic illness were identified," reading from the letter.

The White House press secretary also noted that photos have shown minor bruising on the president's hand.

"This is consistent with minor soft tissue irritation from frequent handshaking and the use of aspirin, which is taken as part of a standard cardiovascular prevention regimen," Leavitt said, reading from the letter, which she said the White House would release.

You should be proud of the government of Saudi Arabia — assuming that is where you call or called home — for possessing the courage and foresight to prepare its economy for a post-hydrocarbon world by way of Vision 2030. It's an uphill battle, but it's eminently wise of the Saudi royal family to recognize the need to diversify their economy as alternatives to hydrocarbons become increasingly accessible and competitive for both consumer and industrial applications!

If Arab royals "understand the [sic] American system better than anyone else," then why aren't they able to convince the US government to prioritize their interests over Israeli interests, or at a minimum, to treat both sides equally?

Grasping at straws should be beneath you.

Either that or the US ambassador, political counselor, defense attache and/or station chief in Riyadh have been feeding your royal overlords disinformation to manipulate them into advancing US natsec interests and objectives in favor of Israel and/or at the expense of Russia!

A new cold war with China won’t help the US​

Framing Beijing as a mortal enemy will hamper US growth and reduce Washington’s global influence
...
If all that remains is cold material calculus, China will fare well. Seventy per cent of countries now conduct more trade — in most cases twice as much — with China than with America. If US-China competition intensifies further, fracturing the world into two separate economic and technological spheres, it may not be clear which side is “containing” the other. Washington should work harder to prevent such a split — and to coexist, not just compete, with China.
