why does he have swelling?

My mother-in-law developed it before she passed of congestive heart failure.

Easy bruising, swelling hands, bad skin, swollen feet. Not to mention mental problems and evidence of a mild stroke..

As well as her father.

Shortly before she died.

Her lungs were severely damaged and her heart was working overtime to compensate. When I look back, she had a number of symptoms that appeared gradual in nature (and not that awful) until everything fell apart all at once.

And it was congestive heart failure. Clearly, this man is not in "excellent health". If people online had not pointed out the swollen ankles and bruised hand, I don't think it is likely that the White House would have disclosed anything about his condition.

and she lived to be 98, finally dying of old age but not specifically of heart failure. I'm not sure what caused her ankles to swell - there are a number of reasons, even being overweight or on your feet a lot - but even in her early '90s she always seemed pretty robust. Trump looks a lot sicklier than Grandma ever did.

Some women get thick ankles from childbirth and it doesn't go away.

Even for someone over 70. It is indicative of serious pulmonary issues.

Think your voodoo doll is finally having an effect.

This report is to try to pretend that trump is not as sick as he is. The trump white house is worried

Die already, fucko!

His BRAIN.

such and such and was so tall.. when clearly he wasn't .

Everything is a Lie is the only foundation.

...But I'm no doctor.

Edematous ankles can also be a sign of congestive heart failure. And can we believe anything Leavitt says about anything?

...she's thinking about her next lie.

He might as well just start injecting those Big Mac's directly into a vein.

As if anything coming out her mouth ever bears a shred of truth!

Leg swelling, also known as peripheral edema, can result from various underlying causes, ranging from relatively minor to serious conditions. It occurs when excess fluid accumulates in the tissues of the lower legs, often due to problems with blood circulation, the lymphatic system, or other medical conditions.

Upper OR lower?

my immediate thought was he was sent by someone, but it wasn't God. It was most likely this guy.

Just like he's 6'3" and 220 lbs....

Wait until trump starts spewing about this: "Greatest vascular test results in human HISTORY! Absolutely PERFECT legs!"

I can hear him screaming it now. The only fun part will be watching him try to pronounce "vascular" properly...

If the Turd is "normal," then why does the ginormous piece of shit have difficulty walking on those swollen ankles and legs and why is he always hunched over leaning forward? Maybe, he is just constantly constipated?

It would be all over my shirt because of laughter!

as he’s always full of 💩.

...will see Leavitt lying about trump's edema, think it's "normal", and not do anything about it to protect their own health.

Irresponsible isn't a strong enough word for these people.

Guess they are waiting for a staged reason to declare martial law? Gonna keep their goons in gear to provoke more people?

Liar, liar, pants on fire 🔥!

What you’re saying is he's near death …

Got it



✌🏻

But sure, go ahead and keep bullshitting yourself.

That all the BS about President Biden and “declining cognitive” bla, bla was to get out in front of all of shitbag’s health issues.

And when he does croak for whatever, republicans will throw cover at ANY inquiry into how Baghdad Barbie LIED TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!!!!!!!

Fuck these people

that no matter when he dies, or what he dies from, or how he dies it WILL be blamed on a democrat or democrats in general. The lies they're telling now are but laying out the red carpet for the story they're gonna come up with about how his death wasn't "natural"... and start pointing fingers (ala the scotus judge)

They will probably blame it on the pressure Democrats and tsf's "past supporters, are putting on him to release the Epstein files.

I feel pretty certain there is a lot more wrong with slobby.

Consider his age & diet.

Look at the huge, puffy bags under his eyes.

And that right hand. What's up with that?

Hold the vision.

May it come soon.

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

But we have to be realistic. He’s 79, he’s going to have some issues that are age related. Fact of life. Not life threatening, I am afraid. There is nothing I would like more than to see his demise in my lifetime, but we have to be realistic. Now show me something really serious, and I’m all there!.

And getting worse!

:

I have the same thing. I get my legs ultrasounded every six months - and mine look nowhere near as bad as his do! That shit looks like my grandfather's legs before he died of congestive heart failure.

"And he's the healthiest president America has ever had". Like for every other press release about his doctor exams.

No one knows why he has it, and the White House will never tell the truth. So he takes aspirin daily. Many do, but no one takes it who is in “perfect” health to my knowledge.

An estimated 10% to 35% of adults have CVI in the US, with 4% of adults aged 65 years or older developing venous ulcers.[3] Results across studies suggest that in the general population, between 1% and 17% of men and 1% and 40% of women may experience chronic venous insufficiency. Furthermore, the prevalence of varicose veins has been reported to range from under 1% to 70%. The variation in these estimations is likely due to the different diagnostic criteria used and the population surveyed.[1] Globally, the prevalence of CVI is higher in industrialized nations (eg, Western Europe and the US) due to more inactive lifestyles.[5]

The prevalence of venous ulcers, a common complication of CVI, in the US ranges from approximately 1% to 3%.[3] Similarly, lower leg ulceration occurs in approximately 1% to 2% of the global adult population and is reported to increase to 3% in patients older than 65.[5] Formation of an ulcer carries a poor prognosis, with 40% of patients developing recurrence despite standard treatment. Management of chronic venous insufficiency accounts for approximately 2% of the US's total healthcare.[11][12]

in his 24K gold tie and his half-gold hair and his American flag pin.I don’t mean to seem heartless but that photo bothered me so much I had to quickly scroll down to the end. Kind of missed a chunk of the Trump health stuff.

From wiki:

CVI is not a benign disorder and, with its progression, can lead to morbidity. Venous ulcers are common and very difficult to treat. Chronic venous ulcers are painful and debilitating. Even with treatment, recurrences are common if venous hypertension persists. Nearly 60% develop phlebitis which often progresses to deep vein thrombosis in more than 50% of patients. The venous insufficiency can also lead to severe hemorrhage. Surgery for CVI remains unsatisfactory despite the availability of numerous procedures.[6]

Bolding mine. It's a serious disorder.

So she lied?

"or arterial disease and an echocardiogram showed normal cardiac structure and function, Leavitt said"

yeah, cool story

trump probably was suffering from this condition during the election but did not close his medical records

How appropriate.

That day can’t come soon enough.

this condition is normal for people in his age bracket.
English Translation: Say hello to President Vance.

Is Baghdad Barbie trying to tell us that once you're in your '70s your ankles normally puff up like basketballs?

and unfortunately younger. Hopefully my psychiatrist is right and that cult loyalty doesn't often transfer to a successor of the original leader.

Nope. Not normal.

Do he's already on borrowed time.

That's the average for somebody born now, accounting for incidence of old age diseases, car crashes, homicides, suicides, childhood illnesses, drug overdoses ... Them's the odds without taking into account anything else but the newborn and all the risks.

There's also life expectancy given your current age (I've seen it called 'expectancy of life' to avoid confusion with 'life expectancy at birth', but that's apparently not the usual term).

I'm 66. Regardless of the life expectancy for somebody born in 1959, the New York State tables say I have--on average--15 years left to live. That's 81. Another table, from census.gov, for the cohort of males born from 1959-61 say life expectancy is 66.94 (specifically for Maryland). The difference? I survived this long, I'm treated by different medical practices, I've survived all the crap that could have killed me off so far--and my SES is built in, whether great, meh, or crappy health care access.

The NYS table gives a 79-year-old man an additional 7.78 years--on average. So 86, pushing towards 87. Because having lived that long, he's missed all kinds of things that could have killed him by now--with all the same hedges. And his life expectancy at birth would have, I'm guessing, been lower than mine. 1944 instead of 1959, more or less.

Elementary stats--and this is just averages.

For every white make who lives longer than the average age, another white make has to die younger than it.

Having lived through this with my husband's last days, the swelling in his legs, hands, abdomen, elsewhere, was a result of severe Congestive Heart Failure. His Type II Diabetes made worse due to the swelling. When the heart is not pumping effectively, oxygen does not get to the brain and the vital organs. My husband was experiencing memory issues complicated by the heart Failure despite having a more high powered pace maker put in in March.

Trump is in the throes of heart Failure and the cover up is obvious. Swelling and discoloring of the skin. I know the signs. Notice how he is slurring his words more? His use of even more makeup? Low blood oxygen pales the skin. It will only get worse for the TACO from here on out despite the cover up of his health.
