The White House has blamed the bruising on Trump’s frequent handshaking and said he takes aspirin as a blood thinner — more than is recommended by his doctors.Last year, the White House revealed that Trump had chronic venous insufficiency, a non-life-threatening condition that causes poor circulation and led to swelling in his legs.In October, following his visit to Walter Reed, which the White House had described as a “routine yearly check up” even though it was his second visit in six months, Trump revealed to reporters that he had undergone an MRI. His doctor later clarified that the exam was a CT scan of his heart and abdomen “to definitively rule out any cardiovascular issues.”Barbabella said that Trump had the scan “to make the most of the President’s time at the hospital” and that his doctors had asked Trump whether he would undergo advanced imaging. “As we revealed in the post-examination report, the advanced imaging was perfectly normal and revealed absolutely no abnormalities,” Barbabella said in a statement to Jattvibe News at the time.Barbabella struck a similar tone during Trump’s April 2025 visit, saying he “remains in excellent health, exhibiting robust cardiac, pulmonary, neurological and general physical function.”
