Fox News interrupted regular programming for an urgent breaking news bulletin after President Donald Trump received a medical diagnosis related to his circulatory system.

The 79 year old commander-in-chief had been experiencing bruising on his hands and leg swelling, sparking concerns about potential cardiac issues.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has now released an official statement regarding his diagnosis, which was broadcast on Fox. She announced: “The president underwent a comprehensive examination including diagnostic vascular studies, bilateral lower extremity vent denis Doppler ultrasounds were performed and revealed chronic venous insufficiency, a benign and common condition particularly in individuals over the age of 70.

“Importantly there was no evidence of deep vein thrombosis or arterial disease. Laboratory testing included a complete blood count, comprehensive metabolic panel, coagulation profile, D-dimer, B-type natriuretic peptide and cardiac biomarkers. All results were within normal limits.

“An echocardiogram was also performed and confirmed normal cardiac structure and function; no signs of heart failure, renal impairment or systemic illness were identified.”

During a live Fox broadcast featuring a breaking news ticker across the screen, John Roberts observed: “We see the back of the president’s hand where he’s got some bruising, he looks like he’s got it covered with make-up there.”

“I was on a blood thinner when I had atrial fibrillation for a while, doc, and I would bruise in a stiff breeze. For a person his age who’s taking aspirin therapy for his heart, that wouldn’t be unusual, but what do you think of the overall report from the White House here?”.

The hosts brought in medical expert Marc Siegel, who took a swipe at former president Joe Biden while responding: “I’m actually impressed with how open it is and how detailed it is, because they actually answered all the questions that I would have had. Maybe a contrast after the previous administration where everything was cloak and dagger.

“Look, she has a lot of details that reassure me. He doesn’t have deep vein thrombosis, he doesn’t have a deep vein there, they checked that. They checked his heart – why are his legs swelling? Could it be backup from the heart? No! His echocardiogram is normal.”

Trump’s chronic venous insufficiency diagnosis has left the nation’s oldest serving president dealing with bruising and swelling, although he reportedly experiences no pain currently, reports the Express.

The marks on his hand were described as “consistent with minor soft tissue irritation from frequent handshaking and the use of aspirin, which is taken as part of a standard cardiovascular prevention regimen.”
