SIGH...OK, let's play "IF JOE BIDEN had been diagnosed w/ "chronic venous insufficiency following leg swelling..."

The Republicans would have simply said "GET WELL SOON JOE!" and gone back to work, right?

Trump diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency following leg swelling

https://www.cnn.com/2025/07/17/politics/trump-leg-swelling-chronic-venous-insufficiency

Trump was examined for swelling in his legs and has been diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, the White House announced Thursday.

Trump, 79, underwent a “comprehensive examination, including diagnostic vascular studies” with the White House Medical Unit, press secretary Karoline Leavitt said, reading a note from the president’s physician, Capt. Sean Barbabella.

Barbabella’s letter, which was later released by the White House, states that “bilateral lower extremity venous Doppler ultrasounds were performed and revealed chronic venous insufficiency, a benign and common condition, particularly in individuals over the age of 70.”

The examination came after Trump had “noted mild swelling in his lower legs” over recent weeks, Leavitt said.
