Speculations about Trump's health do not subside; "It doesn't look good" PHOTO

Trump's physical health, including a bruised hand that has appeared repeatedly and significantly swollen wrists, have been a source of increasing concern since the 79-year-old took office again this year.

His absence from public since last week, coupled with the White House's relative silence on his condition, has sparked a number of internet conspiracy theories about the true state of Trump's health.

Trump, who has been convicted 34 times, became the oldest person to be inaugurated as president earlier this year. According to White House spokeswoman Karoline Levitt, the president was diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) in July.

This relatively common condition causes the veins in the legs to become unable to effectively circulate blood back to the heart, but is generally not life-threatening, Mirror US reports.

 

He announced himself after several days of absence

On Sunday, Trump shared a photo of himself playing golf with former NLF head coach Jon Gruden on his "Truth Social" social media page.

"Great golfing with Jon Gruden - really nice guy and a real character!" he wrote.

However, it appears the photo may not be recent, as Gruden posted a similar image on his X account a week earlier, wearing the same outfit, suggesting Trump's post was in reference to a past golf session.

 

 

"I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but if you're fighting the growing rumor that you may have experienced a serious medical problem and to disprove that rumor and provide proof that you're alive, post a picture of you supposedly golfing with Jon Gruden today, it would be helpful to post one that isn't from August 23rd," one social media user wrote.

Amid the whirlwind of rumors about Trump's health, Vice President JD Vance made an oddly-timed comment about his willingness to step into the role of president if needed.

In an interview with USA Today, despite praising Trump's "incredible energy" and health, Vance expressed confidence in his ability to succeed the president should a "terrible tragedy" occur.
