US vice-president JD Vance expressed confidence in President Donald Trump’s health, but said his preparation for assuming the presidency if necessary. In an interview with USA Today Thursday, August 28, Vance said that the American president was in good shape and would do great things for the American people. However, he recognized the importance of preparation in the event of an unforeseen crisis. This comes in the middle of rumors of health surrounding Donald Trump and the last bruise on his left hand. Vance is the third largest vice-president of American history.
“I am very confident that the President of the United States is in good condition, will serve the rest of his mandate and do great things for the American people … And if, God does not like it, there is a terrible tragedy, I cannot think of a better training during the yard than what I obtained in the last 200 days,” said Vance Usa TODAY.
The 41-year-old vice-president, who has been in office for a little more than six months, stressed that if such a scenario is unlikely, the responsibilities of his role require constant vigilance. His remarks come in an increased public interest in the administration’s plan of continuity, especially since Trump continues to face an intense political examination and public appearances. Vance’s comments were formulated both as a demonstration of loyalty and insurance that the executive power would remain stable, whatever the circumstance. The preparation of the vice-president underlines the efforts of the administration to project confidence in its leadership structure.
Trump diagnosed chronic venous insufficiency
Last month, the White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt revealed that Trump had received a diagnosis of chronic venous insufficiency, a blood circulation problem. Leavitt described this as common in individuals over 70 years old. His statement came after the media reported Trump’s swollen ankles. Regarding bruising on Trump’s hand, Leavitt said that it was evaluated as “minor irritation of soft tissues because of the frequent handshake and the use of aspirin” as a preventive heart health measure.
The American president had undergone a health test in April of this year. According to this report, Trump is in “excellent cognitive and physical health” and had “excellent health, presenting a physical, pulmonary, neurological and general robust” physical function “. During the first annual examination of his second presidential term, Trump was also proven to have scars “in the right ear of a ball injury” due to an assassination attempt last July.
At 78, Trump is the oldest president to take office. Rumors on his health were constantly floating after taking office in January of this year. She stressed that tests have shown “no evidence of deep venous thrombosis or arterial disease”. “I know that a lot in the media speculated on bruises on the president’s hand and also inflate in the president’s legs. In the transparency effort, the president wanted me to share a note from his doctor … All the results were within normal limits,” said Leavitt.
