White House press chief Caroline Leavitt tackled public speculation surrounding President Donald Trump’s physical appearance on Thursday, assuring reporters that the president remains in “excellent health” following a recent review by the White House medical force.
“I know a lot of people in the media are guessing bruises in the president’s hands and guessing that it’s swollen in the president’s legs,” Leavitt said during the briefing. “So, in an effort to be transparent, the President wanted me to share a note from his doctor with everything you could today.”

As reported by Fox News, concerns erupted earlier this week when pictures spread across his legs in the FIFA club’s World Cup final and minor bruises were seen behind his hands during a meeting with the Bahrainian prime minister. Leavitt explained that bruises are related to “frequent manual work and aspirin use.”

“In recent weeks, President Trump has pointed to mild swelling in his lower legs,” she continued. “With a wealth of attention in line with routine medical care, this concern has been thoroughly assessed by the White House medical unit.”
Intensive examinations, including “diagnostic vascular studies” and “bilateral lower extremity venous Doppler ultrasound,” revealed that the president was chronically insufficient, a common and benign condition, especially for individuals over the age of 70.

All results were within normal ranges. Echocardiograms were also performed to confirm normal cardiac structure and function.
Trump’s latest full medical report, released by Navy Colonel Sean P. Barbabera in April, also confirmed the president’s status. “President Trump maintains excellent health and demonstrates robust heart, lung, neurology and general physical functions,” the report says.

The 75-inch tall and weighing 224 pounds, the president had 62 beats per minute, a blood pressure of 128/74 mmHg, a temperature of 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit, and a resting heart rate of 99% pulse oximetry in indoor air.
“So the President wanted me to share that memo with you,” Levitt shared. “The president is in excellent health, and I think we see this here every day.”
