President Trump's doctors confirmed in 2025 that he has chronic venous insufficiency, a condition that reduces blood flow in the legs and causes swelling around the ankles. The announcement followed public curiosity about changes in his physical appearance. Officials also explained that bruising on his right hand was linked to frequent handshaking and his daily aspirin intake. Trump has taken 325 milligrams of aspirin every day for 25 years, which is higher than the standard recommended dose. A CT scan of his heart and abdomen came back normal, and he passed a cognitive test. However, a book written by White House journalists claimed he had experienced tiredness and hearing problems. Trump also sleeps fewer hours than doctors recommend for people his age.
