Social media erupted this week after Donald Trump’s health drew renewed attention. Observers noticed a large bruise on his hand, which appeared partially concealed with a layer of foundation. The mark fueled speculation, especially following Trump’s recent diagnosis of chronic venous insufficiency (CVI)—a condition in which leg veins become damaged and fail to function properly.
Annual Check-Up at Walter Reed
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed that Trump visited Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on October 10 for his routine yearly check-up. “On Friday morning, President Trump will visit Walter Reed for a planned meeting and remarks with the troops,” Leavitt said. “While there, he will also stop by for his annual check-up before returning to the White House. The president is considering traveling to the Middle East shortly afterward.”
CNN noted that Trump had previously visited Walter Reed in April for his “annual physical,” raising questions about having two check-ups in one year.
