Donald Trump has confirmed that he wore compression socks to treat his cankles amid growing scrutiny over his health as America’s oldest president.

In an explosive interview about his medical treatments, Trump also admitted that he applies makeup to his hands, saying that the large daily dose of aspirin he takes to thin his blood causes them to bruise easily.

The Daily Beast has led the way in reporting on Trump’s efforts to hide his swollen ankles and the globs of makeup on his hands. Other media outlets largely ignored these issues, and the president and his inner circle have adamantly denied that he had any problems.

But in an interview with the Wall Street Journal on Thursday, Trump said he wore medical compression socks to help with swelling in his ankles.

    I doubt it. With the caveat that unless Donvict and pals completely fuck up/stall out/reverse breakthroughs in medicine - dementia may become a thing of the past, I suppose.

    But I seriously doubt there is any substantive difference between people born between arbitrary years, labeled “boomers”, and any other set of people born between arbitrary years.
