U.S. President Donald Trump's absence from the cameras for five days has fueled health-related speculation. The White House announced that Trump has been diagnosed with "chronic venous insufficiency," while Vice President JD Vance stated that he is "prepared for the presidency" in case of any situation.

US President Donald Trump has not appeared in front of cameras since the cabinet meeting held on Tuesday. The lack of any scheduled events for the weekend has sparked discussions on social media about "Does Trump have health issues?"

STATEMENT FROM THE WHITE HOUSE

White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt announced last month that Trump was diagnosed with "chronic venous insufficiency." This condition makes it difficult for blood to return to the heart due to damage to the leg veins.

Leavitt also explained that the bruises seen on Trump's hands were due to "aspirin use and tissue sensitivity caused by constant handshaking." However, there were comments that the bruises were attempted to be covered up with makeup or cream in the images shared with the public.

VANCE: I AM READY FOR THE PRESIDENCY

While discussions about Trump's health continue, US Vice President JD Vance's statement to USA Today has become a hot topic. In response to a question about the possibility of taking over a role, Vance said, "God forbid, if a terrible tragedy occurs, I can't think of a better on-the-job training than what I've received in the last 200 days." These words further fueled public discussions about Trump's health issues and potential successors.

AGENDA ON SOCIAL MEDIA

Trump's recent absence from public view, the claims about the bruises on his hands, and the swelling in his legs have become some of the most talked-about topics on social media. While some users argue that the White House is hiding health issues, others state that the statements made are sufficient. Experts say that Trump's reappearance in public in the coming days will serve as a response to these discussions.
