Donald J. Trump
The president kept his ankles hidden for much of his international trip, but they appeared again in footage aired by CNN. While Trump, 79, managed to keep his lower legs largely hidden throughout the trip, a CNN segment with Jake Tapper and Kaitlan Collins on Friday featured footage of the president sitting next to Chinese President Xi Jinping with his swollen ankles very much visible.
Additional video of the two leaders taking a walk shows Trump appearing to lumber as they walk down a concrete pathway, with Xi pointing out an off-camera feature to his American counterpart. Sean Hannity on Thursday that if someone were making a film featuring a Chinese leader, they wouldn’t have to look beyond the 72-year-old Communist Party chief.
It’s hardly the first time world leaders or American officials have spotted the cankles, which likely occur because he’s suffering from chronic venous insufficiency, according to White House doctors. He was diagnosed with the condition last July. Trump frequently “man spreads” when seated during meetings, with his clasped hands hanging between his legs, which draws attention.
He has said he doesn’t like wearing compression socks, which doctors have encouraged him to use because of the cankles. He turns 80 in a matter of weeks.
“There’s been such a lack of candor about the health of the president that even a visit to the dentist raises questions,” CNN medical analyst Jonathan Reiner pointedDonald Trump’s perenially bruised hands in his second term have also raised concerns about his physical health. He turns 80 next month. Trump is overdue for a physical as he becomes the oldest president in history. His last physical was over a year ago.
White House spokesperson Davis Ingle has insisted to the Daily Beast: “President Trump is the sharpest, most accessible, and energetic president in modern American history. ”
