Former President Donald Trump is scheduled for his third medical evaluation at Walter Reed National Military Center, a significant increase compared to the typical annual visit for presidents. This visit has sparked renewed concerns regarding his health as he approaches 80 years old. Notably, cardiologist Jonathan Reiner expressed worries about Trump's swollen legs, a symptom of chronic venous insufficiency, which the White House acknowledged in July. However, this condition was not mentioned in Trump's April 2025 medical report, leading to speculation about potential acute edema, which could indicate more serious issues like congestive heart failure. Reiner criticized the White House for a perceived lack of transparency, stating that older individuals often face health challenges. Additionally, the president's repeated bruising on his hands has been attributed to hand-shaking, although experts question the validity of this explanation. The situation underscores the need for clear communication regarding Trump's health as he continues to engage in public life.
