SUMMARY: President Trump has been diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, a common vein condition affecting up to 40% of Americans, especially those over 70. This condition involves malfunctioning valves in superficial leg veins, causing blood pooling and mild swelling. Dr. Phillip Fleming explains it isn’t dangerous but can cause discomfort and requires management. Key treatments include wearing compression hose during long flights or standing periods, elevating legs multiple times daily, walking regularly, and managing weight. The condition is influenced by family history and lifestyle factors, like prolonged sitting or standing. It differs from deep vein thrombosis and does not impair Trump’s ability to perform as commander-in-chief.

President Donald Trump has been diagnosed with “chronic venous insufficiency,” the disease is common in older adults when little valves inside the veins that normally help move blood against gravity up the legs gradually lose the ability to work properly.
