U.S. presidency. He has said he is in excellent health.
Trump was diagnosed last year with chronic venous insufficiency, a benign condition that causes blood to pool in his legs. Various reports have speculated on other possible conditions. Trump attributed visible bruises on his hands to the large doses of aspirin he takes to thin his blood, and he denied claims he has fallen asleep during meetings.
Walter Reed is about 10 miles north of the White House, in Bethesda, Maryland.
