Last summer, Trump was diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency after appearing with swollen ankles and legs. 

The physician's report said "slight lower leg swelling was noted, with improvement from last year."

The physician noted that the president experiences bruising on his hands, which the White House has attributed to shaking hands while taking aspirin for his condition.
