US Vice President JD Vance stated that President Trump is in excellent health and ready to assume the presidency should a tragedy occur. Speculation regarding Trump's health has recently intensified.
US: US President Donald Trump is currently in the spotlight not only due to the tariff war but also due to persistent questions about his health. Recently, during a meeting with the South Korean President, marks of injury were visible on Trump's hand, which further fueled speculation about his health.
Although the White House attributed the injury to ordinary causes, stating it resulted from frequent and firm handshakes, the discussion about the necessity of monitoring Trump's health continues in the media and among opposition parties.
JD Vance Clarifies – President is Fit
Amidst this speculation, US Vice President JD Vance clarified in an interview with USA Today that President Trump is in excellent health and will complete his remaining term without any issues. Vance stated that the President meets a large number of Americans every day, shakes hands, and interacts with people, which is why marks on his hand from handshakes are not unusual.
'Prepared for Any Terrible Tragedy'
Vance added that if, God forbid, a major tragedy were to occur, he is fully prepared to assume the responsibilities of the presidency. He explained that the training he has received over the past 200 days has prepared him for any such situation. He believes that if circumstances change, he would have no difficulty in taking over the presidency.
Trump is Battling Chronic Venous Insufficiency
Doctors at the White House have provided information regarding Trump's health. According to Dr. Sean Barbella, Trump has a condition called chronic venous insufficiency. This is a medical condition typically seen in individuals over 70 years of age, characterized by swelling in the lower extremities. However, doctors assert that it is not a serious problem and can be managed with medication and regular check-ups.
White House Calls Injury Minor
Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt also issued a statement clarifying that there is no need for concern regarding President Trump's health. She stated that the President's daily interactions with thousands of people and handshakes are part of his busy schedule, and this is why repeated injuries to his hand are normal and should not be interpreted as having any serious implications.
Political Debate Ignites in America
The questions raised about Trump's health have also fueled a political debate in America. Opposition parties argue that the President's health status should be transparently disclosed to the public, while the Republican Party maintains that Trump is in perfect health and that this controversy is merely being manufactured for political gain.
