Donald Trump Critics Buzz About 'Serious Heart Condition'

Journalist Aaron Rupar called Trump's alleged attempt "very conspicuous," while others claimed photos of Trump's swelling pointed to a serious heart condition rather than the "chronic venous insufficiency" claimed by the White House.
It's very conspicuous rewatching this that Trump is desperately trying to hide the back of his right hand from the camera https://t.co/gDXwiIalfh

In June, press secretary Karoline Leavitt addressed concerns over Trump's swollen ankles and hand bruising following media speculation.
"Bilateral lower extremity venous Doppler ultrasounds were performed and revealed chronic venous insufficiency, a benign and common condition, particularly in individuals over the age of 70," Leavitt said, adding, "Importantly, there was no evidence of deep vein thrombosis or arterial disease."
Leavitt claimed the hand bruising was the result of "minor soft tissue irritation from frequent handshaking, and the use of aspirin."
Everyone is so cynical. Obviously Trump is experiencing bruising from all the hand shaking. Got it? pic.twitter.com/8HkWqkiARF

Some on social media suggested that Trump's recurring bruise was the result of some sort of IV infusion he's receiving each month.
BREAKING: A medical professional with a doctorate in his field says Trump is showing evidence of congestive heart failure.
He says the bruise on his hand is likely from an IV diuretic, commonly prescribed for this disease. Do you agree it's possible?

This was Trump's hand yesterday—IV wounds covered up with makeup. If this were Joe Biden, clowns like @JakeTapper would make it BREAKING NEWS. But with Trump? Silence.
His physical and mental decline is obvious, and the media still looks the other way. Total failure. pic.twitter.com/NvZAFR10yv

Good morning and Happy Saturday to everyone who agrees Trump's caked-on hand makeup can't hide the truth! Is the White House covering up a heart condition? If this was Biden, GOP would scream 25th Amendment.
Where's the transparency?

He's mentally and physically UNFIT. pic.twitter.com/eLQWnu3Dkr
I glanced at a bunch of news articles about the recurring bruise on the back of Trump's right hand (which people have noticed since 2024) and they are oddly clustered around the 24th of the month. That suggests he's getting an infusion every month. https://t.co/iBNbQ10RvU

The White House hasn't commented on this round of speculation on the president's health.
he doesnt look well
-
Then maybe we'll have a very articulate Vance as President.
Some would be out of business.
Maybe he will take to wearing gloves all the time. That would ease your mind wouldnt it?
You're the one who seems to be all upset about it,[.
I have no personal feelings one way or the other about his health. The country will be better off by far when MAGA is gone though.
Signed,
Joe Biden..
He and I seem to have the same problem finding gloves large enough for our big hands.
Is this what America's dishonest media is now focused on: taking pictures of the President's hand? How about trying to keep up with him?
I have had congestive heart failure, but was never a recipient of iv medication for it on a monthly basis, so I cant really make an educated guess on the hand.
I do know no one can believe a word Trump, his doctors, or his administration, say without independent verification.
What does Trump wear under his kevlar suits?
Well, Depends...
"Journalist Aaron Rupar"
Good stuff calling him a journalist. One of the most vocal "biden is perfectly fine" liars claims to see problems with Trump?
Always amazed how shameless progressives can be.
what does the yellow coloring on his hand mean ?
maybe he was eating mustard with his fingers
It happens to most of us old folks. Skin dries out and becomes thinner.
Edema, mostly in the feet and lower legs. Compression socks are a great help
Did you trust Biden's doctor's assessment of his health and fitness,
I think that is irrelevant today.
The KJP and progressive media approach would be to claim it's a "cheap fake" and that Trump has stronger hands than Roberto Duran in his prime.
He is in heart failure.
Couldn't happen to a worse entity!
It's very poorly applied make-up. I don't hide my bruises. I wear them as a badge of honor. He is just so vain he has to maintain the illusion that he's perfectly healthy
Says who? Are you a doctor? What are the signs and symptoms?
Its possible to live quite a few years with congestive heart failure , and it is not necessarily a death sentence. But at age 79 , if he has it to the degree that he needs iv's to keep the swelling down, making 3 1/2 more years looks like a throw of the dice.
