The White House disclosed that the president has been diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), a condition common in people of his age.

Donald Trump was seen with a noticeable layer of makeup on his right hand on Friday as he left the White House, amid ongoing speculation about his health. The 79-year-old is believed to have used makeup to hide bruising on his hand on several occasions since returning to office, but the application appeared particularly thick during his visit to The People’s House museum.

    If it kills him, does it really matter what it actually is?

      The question is whether it’s going to kill him.

      There’s a range of maladies common amongst octogenarians which require blood thinners that can make you bruise easily. Some benign others less so.

        Well, if he has a aneurism, those blood thinners could make the difference between a better future for mankind and his survival.

          Blood thinners can make minor head trauma that shears the small veins between the skull and the brain a problem. A ruptured aneurysm can kill almost anyone regardless of whether or not they’re on blood thinners. The difference is venous bleeding (slow, low pressure) versus arterial bleeding (fast, high pressure).
