Trump's swollen ankles spark fresh health fears as president appears squeezed into shoes
Photos taken of President Donald Trump at the FIFA Club World Cup on Sunday showing what appear to be his severely swollen ankles have sparked new health fears among social media users.
Donald and Melania Trump attended the finals match at Metlife Stadium in New Jersey as part of a broader effort to expand U.S. involvement in the sport ahead of next year's World Cup, which will be hosted largely in America. Trump received a mix of cheers and boos when he was shown on the stadium screen, and was booed later while he presented medals to the match winners.
The president was photographed during the event from a head-on angle while he sat next to the first lady, offering an unobstructed frontal view of his shoes and ankles. Commenters on X were quick to fixate on his visibly swollen ankles . It comes as a lip reader reveals Donald Trump’s raunchy request to Melania - and her response .
"What in the h--- is going on with Trump's legs and feet? Look at how his shoes are completely untied," one X user wrote. "Whatever he's hiding is getting worse."
"HEART FAILURE causes fluid accumulation in the lower legs," another commenter wrote. "His heart is too weak to pump blood through his kidneys efficiently so they can’t remove excess fluid from the body."
According to WebMD, venous insufficiency is one of the more common of swollen ankles and feet, where blood pools in the legs due to weakened valves. Injuries such as sprains and fractures can trigger inflammation, and prolonged sitting or standing can increase pressure in the lower extremities.
Leg swelling can also be a sign of deep vein thrombosis, congestive heart failure, or kidney or liver disease.

Swollen feet and legs is not a death sentence ( I have had it to varying degrees for the past 4 years) but neither on the other hand is it nothing. Something is causing it.
That something could be serious or it can be a relatively minor inconvenience that can be managed . I have brought it to my doctors a few times and so far they have told me that the swelling isnt bad enough to spend time worrying about it.
I was diagnosed with heart failure a little over three and a half years ago.
Look at that diet coke sitting by his feet. Diet pop is worse than regular pop.
Well, we can write that cause off. There is no evidence Trump has, or has ever had a heart.
or a brain....or the nerve...
glad somebody got it
You guys are too funny! There was a brain-dead stiff in the white house for the last four years who barley new his name and you're pointing at Trump's fat ankles.
