00:00On another note, I know that many in the media have been speculating about bruising on the president's hand and
00:06also swelling in the president's legs.
00:08So in the effort of transparency, the president wanted me to share a note from his physician with all of
00:14you today.
00:15In recent weeks, President Trump noted mild swelling in his lower legs.
00:19In keeping with routine medical care and out of an abundance of caution, this concern was thoroughly evaluated by the
00:26White House Medical Unit.
00:27The president underwent a comprehensive examination, including diagnostic vascular studies.
00:34Bilateral lower extremity venous Doppler ultrasounds were performed and revealed chronic venous insufficiency, a benign and common condition, particularly in
00:47individuals over the age of 70.
00:49Importantly, there was no evidence of deep vein thrombosis or arterial disease.
00:55Laboratory testing included a complete blood count, comprehensive metabolic panel, coagulation profile, D-dimer, B-type, natriotic peptide, and cardiac
01:07biomarkers.
01:08All results were within normal limits.
01:11An echocardiogram was also performed and confirmed normal cardiac structure and function.
01:17No signs of heart failure, renal impairment, or systemic illness were identified.
01:23Additionally, recent photos of the president have shown minor bruising on the back of his hand.
01:28This is consistent with minor soft tissue irritation from frequent handshaking and the use of aspirin, which is taken as
01:35part of a standard cardiovascular prevention regimen.
01:39This is a well-known and benign side effect of aspirin therapy.
01:42And the president remains in excellent health, which I think all of you witness on a daily basis here.
01:49So the president has shown that the president has shown that the president has shown that the president has shown
01:49that the president has shown that the president has shown that the president has shown that the president has shown
