President Donald Trump<\/a>\u2018s enormous ankles were on display after a surprise trip to the doctor while spending the weekend at Mar-a-Lago.<\/p>\n

When Trump returned to Washington, D.C., on Monday, May 4, he and his stretched socks were snapped alongside his eldest son, Donald Trump Jr.<\/a><\/p>\n

While Donald spent the weekend at Mar-a-Lago and his Doral Miami golf club, he once again fueled speculation about his health with a trip to the dentist, according to the White House press pool. His press team said the visit was \u201cscheduled,\u201d but it did not appear on Donald\u2019s public schedule.<\/p>\n

Though seemingly innocuous, the trip left observers with questions about why Donald would travel to Florida for a dental visit when he could easily have had a dentist come to the White House.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s been such lack of candor about the health of the president that even a visit to the dentist raises questions,\u201d said Dr. Jonathan Reiner on X<\/a>. \u201cThe WH has a dental operatory (Pres Biden had a root canal there) so why a Sat morning visit in Florida? Maybe he just likes this dentist,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n

The White House has consistently been cagey over Donald\u2019s various medical maladies, preferring instead to insist to the press that \u201cPresident Trump is the sharpest, most accessible, and energetic president in modern American history.\u201d (Of note, Donald has regularly been filmed falling asleep in cabinet meetings and in Oval Office appearances throughout his second term.)<\/p>\n

For months, the White House lied about the cause of the consistent visible bruising on Donald\u2019s hands. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt initially said the mark was from Donald \u201cshaking hands all day.\u201d It wasn\u2019t until Donald revealed that he was using a high daily dose of aspirin as a blood thinner that the questions around the bruising subsided \u2014 though the bruises and the White House\u2019s attempts to hide the spots with makeup have persisted.<\/p>\n

There has been less secrecy around Donald\u2019s cankles. Donald was diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency last July, which can cause a person\u2019s ankles to swell.<\/p>\n

Donald told the Wall Street Journal that he tried wearing compression socks to manage the look of his ankles, but stopped because he \u201cdidn\u2019t like them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Donald is overdue for a physical. His last appointment was on April 11, 2025.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"President Donald Trump\u2018s enormous ankles were on display after a surprise trip to the doctor while spending the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":59008,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[3],"tags":[12,75,34758,74,987],"class_list":["post-59007","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-donald-trump-jr","tag-donald-trump","tag-donald-trump-jr","tag-swollen-ankles","tag-trump","tag-white-house"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@people\/116526148937796531","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59007","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=59007"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59007\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/59008"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=59007"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=59007"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=59007"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
